Are you in the market for wholesale toys? Maybe you are thinking about trying your hand at online auctions or renting space at a local flea market. Whatever the case, toys sell well in almost every venue.
If you take the time to perform a search and do adequate research there are many quality, online vendors that offer toys of all kinds. You will find that’s it’s best to deal with a true wholesale company, as opposed to a company that purchases inventory from ANOTHER wholesaler. This way you avoid the ‘middle man’ and usually can find much better deals.
The ToyDirectory.com (http://www.toydirectory.com/links.htm) is an invaluable resource when it comes to locating wholesale toy vendors. For the most part, anyone with a resale permit or business license can request product information and even catalogs from hundreds of toy manufacturers.
There is, both, a product category search and a company name search option. The first search option includes airplanes to yo-yos and everything in between. Balloons, board games, die-cast, hobby supplies, stickers, puzzles, puppets, pedal cars, teddy bears, dolls, wooden toys, trains and learning toys are just a few of the categories listed.
