Hi everyone I have sourced some good quality clothes manufacturer abroad. I have seen the products and its fantastic and NON-Branded. For eg if I buy a container of fine Polo Tshirt I can sell it in US for $ 2.00 - 2.50 each  (Keep in mind Fine Polo-Tshirt grade A). A container consist of 30000 pieces of T-shirt.  Now my question were will I get such a big buyer for 30000 pieces of T-shirts??? I can supply Jeans, Polo Tshirts, Shirts... any clothing Items, any amount. I have the links and I can get the stuff in till US but after that I am of no use as I do not know people that much in USA as I recently came to USA.  Please need advice where should I go and what should I do. I can see a huge opportunity but really dont know how it will work out?? thanks

you have a HUGE market for such items in the US, but you will have to think a bit more creatively. You ask where to sell such items, i will give examples because I have known people who buy such items. 1)Tshirt printing companies 2)Individuals who need custom clothing 3)individual entrepreneurs who want to start their own brand   To help you capitalize on what you have and the markets you have, you may need a screen printing station. Those usually cost between 3-5000 in the US for a 5 station screen machine. This would enable you to make the custom items customers request.  OR you could simply market BLANK clothing to companies and individuals. There are a lot of fake emails on sites such as Alibaba.com but there are also people who are searching for blank items at wholesale prices. I suggest you sell packages depending on quantity with discounts depending on quantity. YOU HAVE MANY OPTIONS for what you are doing. I myself, have known several screen printers over the years who started their own companies by buying blank media.
