Video Games: A Hot Wholesale Product For Drop Shipping

Video games are a HOT wholesale product for your online drop shipping business!

Internet retail analysts have called video games “recession proof.”

Worldwide, video games---both hardware and software---have continued to enjoy booming sales even right on through the tough economy.

Here are some statistics and retail sales figures for the best selling video games around the globe, ranked by popularity:

1. Nintendo DS
2. Wii
3. PSP 
4. Xbox 360 
5. PS3
   

Here is the line-up, worldwide, for the most popular video game software sales, week of April 25, 2009.

Wii Sports: 230,399

Wii Fit: 195,028

Pokemon Platinum Version: 160,707

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky: 140,905

Mario Kart Wii: 119,260

Those are some pretty impressive sales figures considering that we’re in a recession, and the US accounts for the lion’s share of those sales!

So, what does this mean to you?

If you are thinking of starting a home based business in drop shipping wholesale products, it means that video games would be a proven winner for you, with a huge market.

Video games are what internet retail sales analysts call a “hungry niche” because there is such a tremendous consumer demand for this particular market category of products.

According to Google AdWords, the term “video games” was searched in Google almost 14 million times last month alone.

You can see the potential here for an extremely profitable internet business in video game sales!

Before you start drop shipping video games, do your homework and determine which ones are the best sellers.

Remember, base your decision of what to sell on worldwide figures, not just sales statistics for the US, because on the internet you do have the whole world as your marketplace.

As a general rule, though, the most popular game in the US will be the most popular game all around the globe. It seems that the popularity and mass appeal of certain games crosses all nationality and/or ethnic borders.

Once you have ascertained exactly which video games are performing the best in sales, then find a wholesale drop ship supplier who has those specific games available for reselling.

Shop around. Compare prices. If you buy a product to resell and have to pay the average retail price for it, how will you make a profit?

You won’t.

Which defeats the whole purpose of selling something, doesn’t it?

So, find a wholesale dropshipper who will offer you a decent price on the video games you want to resell---a low enough price that will allow you to make a reasonable profit.

Don’t expect to purchase wholesale products at a ridiculously low price, even from the best drop ship supplier. For instance, the only way you’ll probably buy a best selling game like Grand Theft Auto  for five or ten bucks is out of the trunk of somebody’s auto, and you can bet there was a “grand theft” involved in obtaining the games to sell.

You don’t want that.

But still, shop around and get the lowest price you can on the most popular, best selling games.

Drop Ship Access offers over 1700 products in their Video Games category!
