Best website for Supplier Information

I have know of Global Sources and Esources,. Which is the better of the two in your opinion and are either worth the membership fee?

Any other websites offering trustworthy and accurate information on suppliers?

Thank you

    There is no fee to use global sources and in my experience any so called "trade directory" that requires prospective buyers to pay a membership is not worth a penny, if they had good suppliers paying to advertise they would not need to charge a membership fee and would not want to restrict the amount of potential trade they refer to their advertisers.

    Real trade directories, like global sources, make their money from wholesalers who pay to advertise, if they have to charge you, they must not have any good wholesalers willing to pay them, which says it all really.
