When people first learn about dropshipping they often think “Great Ill just find a dropshipper of Nintendo Wii’s and sell bucket loads”, unfortunately it isn’t that easy!
Due to such high demand for products like this the manufacturers sell the products to companies like Dixons, Tesco, Game etc. This makes it much easier for the manufacturers. Because they don’t pass any on to wholesalers it is incredibly difficult for dropshippers to get hold of them, even if they can the profit margin can be squeezed so much it’s not worth your time as the seller.
So if you are looking to set up a business dropshipping products don’t expect to be filling your estore with the latest versions of the Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo. The products are in such high demand that if they were available from dropshippers we would all be selling them - and I wouldn’t be sitting here writing this post 
Some of the most successful dropshippers focus on finding niche products where the competition for them is low, this way you can make more sales, and at higher profit margins. I recommend those new to dropshipping go about finding new products this way, and forget the dream of selling Wii’s anytime soon.

No probs Mark, selling niche products is a much better way to start your ecommerce business. It also helps build a solid customer base to sell other products to in the future!

You’re absolutely right, Chris. The other thing is, those wholesalers that do have the Wii’s, or any other latest high tech gadgets, sometimes want a minimum purchase of up to $100.000 or more. Who can afford that? Stick to the niche products. There are plenty to go round.
