Hello SUN members....

I wanted to post a question concerning what tools people are using to source your products?

I have been using WorldWide Brands and they have just launched a new system which encompasses all their services into one product, ie. One Source.  This was just launched on 12/31/2006 and I have just upgraded my membership for access to this new program.  In a nutshell their program includes the following:

Dropshippers; Light Bulk Wholesalers, Large Volume Wholesalers, Liquidation Wholesalers and Instant Import Buys as well as a Market Research program that breaks down keyword searches and shows Demand, Competition, Advertising, and Auction prices.  They also have a great resources page with free e-books and videos about starting your own home based business.

I am not trying to sell this product (I do not have an affiliate account with them yet), I just would like to know what types of sources other people are using.

Thanks!

This post belongs more under this heading than others.
I usually use Digikey for my lab component purchases due to their fast shipment and reasonable low quantity pricing.  However some parts are priced unaffordably, and in wrong electronic package, so I went to On Semi to look for the right package of same type of part.  Nowaday mfgs provide ecommerce links to distributors.  So I tried Future Electronics.  Huge pleasant surprise: their low quantity - i.e per minimum shippable quantities  such as a tube or a reel - pricing is even lower.  On top of that shey offer free shipping for all orders during the last tewo weeks of the year until 12/31 at midnight!
So today Tuesday 9AM I called to see if I could add one more item to the shipment.  It`s been already shipped!!!
Now they may become my favorite distributor.
