Take Jewelry & Watches for example, their Wholesale Lots group is category 40131.

What does this have to do with product sources?

A lot of sellers in these categories are people that have collections or large lots that they are to lazy to break up, or they want to just get rid of whole lot at once, however, if you look at pieces in lot and calculate out what they could be valued at individually you can see true worth compared to what they are being offered for.

So next time you are searching through a specific category, see if there is a related Wholesale Lots section and spend time looking, you never know, you just might find a truck load of goods that will keep you in merchandise for a long time.
