But the competition must be ferocious for such generic things, which is why Im so surprised by these profit margins. I don't mean to pry with too many questions but are these the sort of sales and margins created even by sales of more or less generic products or do these people put heavy effort into positioning themselves differently?

For wholesale it's difficult to position yourself differently than anyone else, you need to get stuff at the right price. I'll have suppliers with thousands of products and I only buy ten of them, have to be very selective.

Other people buy from stores at discounted prices, or any number of different sourcing methods.

Sincere thanks for the followup. Interesting points to consider. I'll have to look into products/providers more. Any general sources you'd recommend?

Attend trade shows for wholesale and talk to potential suppliers.
