Currently looking to buy some stock but not really sure what site's to use. Looked at 'Esources' but reviews on here don't seem to good. So can anyone give me a nudge in a good direction please.

Thanks.:)

Thanks although not sure it's what i'm looking for to be honest.

Alibaba? If you give us some more detail we may be able to help more! Handmade original croquet sets may be a very different source than mass-made table tennis balls, for instance

Sorry, more mainstream sports. Football,Tennis and Golf etc. Thanks again.

Is it worth talking to one of the multiple discounters like SportsDirect as they may be able to retail at prices you could get for wholesale? Even maybe a branch manager might do you a deal in exchange for a few hundred extra notes a week through his store (affecting his bonus!), and even a 5% discount on their retail may be similar to wholesale pricing from a smaller wholesaler who is buying in smaller quantities than SD?

I get my supply of umbrellas from my local SportsDirect as these are cheaper that my wholesalers, you will also fins a lot of stores now (wilkinsons, poundland etc.) are cheaper than wholesalers now.
