Ok im trying to start a Car Parts Sales website, and need distributers. Anyone know what are some distributers with good prices, im not nessesarily looking for just dsm parts, but for parts in general, from brand names like HKS, Greddy, Forced Performance, Autometer, etc....
Anybody know of some?

yup, you and about gazilion other people from different forums.. i mean i know at least 15 other people who started doing the same thing within last year.

how many of them got rich off of it? none
how many of them got their friends to spend more money because friends wanted to help him... all of them.
how many are strugling..... All of them

take a look at Seth, he almost made it, had a lot of business but then it just died, even with a lot of friends members exposure.. still..


Either way..
that is hard to get to be sucessfull now because there is a LOT of other college students re-selling parts and giving LOW LOW prices.. hard to compete.. I swear the vendors should have MINIMUM sale price no matter where its sold.

You should look into selling stuff on ebay and buying stuff cheap through distributers. You make a lot of money off shipping haha.

Tom... Invest your money into a mutual fund. I can assure you that the profits will be much larger in 20 years than any parts vendor.

Oh, and part time job as a parts vendor just isnt a reality. If you want to do it right, do it right...... or dont do it at all.
