I have come into a bit of good fortune I got 1,000 pieces of a product (Floor Tiles) at a liquidation sale for $1,000.
After doing some research I have realised that similar styles of tiles sell at 11-20$ by national tile retailers.
If I sold each tile at 5$ I would make $5,000 and the retailer would still be getting a 100% mark up.
How should I go about contacting these retailers and would they be interested in a deal of this kind?
If they ask should I say I am a private product broker ? , even though I have a corporate looking website, I do not have a registered company yet
I was thinking about just being direct and saying something along the lines of: We have these tiles for sale at this price and we noticed you are selling similar items at 10-20$ and we can sell you these at 5-6$.
How will I accept payment ? Will they hand me cash or write me a check to my personal bank account ?
(These are small retailers they are not huge big box retailers, all of them are probably sub $5mil in revenue.)
