Going to NY in March and want to do some serious shopping without breaking the bank! What are some good places to try? I've heard consignment stores are good, but not sure.
Well, if you don't want to do consignment shops, you can try some of the discount department stores around Manhattan:
Century 21 - http://www.c21stores.com/home_page.asp
or
Daffy's - http://www.daffys.com/
But I suppose those aren't entirely unique to New York. For a fairly nice consignment shop City Opera is nice on 23rd St. as is the Housing Works, with a branch just down the street on 23rd (plus other locations)

once you open a store it will be easier to find stores.
a tip: go to the wholesale stores in NYC and get some stuff there for cheap cheap cheap!
hey guys im looking for a trusted place that has ed hardy, abercrombie, true religion, ect ect.. designer clothes for cheap prices if you buy wholesale. I dont care if its a china one either because most of them are. Any good ones you know of that has worked for you? Im looking to buy wholesale designer clothes and resell on ebay for a business.. any help?
You have to buy in bulk and bring alot of money to the table if you are serious about getting wholesale prices. Anybody advertising it as wholesale that is not in bulk is lying. If Tom owns a large company that purchases $100,000 worth of items from Jack, Jack isnt going to make Tom mad and sell any less than $100,000 to anybody. Tom and Jack have an exclusive agreement that Jack cant sell to someone for less than what Tom is bringing to the table because Tom doesnt want any competitors out there, so he works out this deal with Jack. There are a few sites and sources listed at buy-in-bulk.com, but if you want to set up dropshipping and really get the best prices, you have to approach the companies personally with an agreement like what Tom and Jack have and with a large sum of money to make the first 2 or 3 purchases. I was going through a company called Golden Gain in Taiwan. I didnt need to create an exclusive agreement, but the minimum they would sell them to me for was a purchase of at least $3000 or more each time.
