eCigs/eHookahs/mods are huge right now, btw.

Just a suggestion
He came over last night and we spent HOURS searching around for legitimate drop shipping companies and honestly, it would be easier finding Big Foot! If you do any kind of Google search, the first 100 pages in the SERPS are all affiliate links (that's a business in itself - drop shipping affiliate because their commissions are insanely high). When we finally found drop shipping companies we thought were legit, we found some honest reviews and they turned out to be astronomical ripoffs.

I had an idea for him to sell shit on eBay and have a drop ship company deliver it, but with the prices not being competitive and eBay's fees being a cunt hair short of a class three felony; we moved on to a different plan. We're not sure what that plan is yet, but we're moving on unless we can find an honest company.

Does anyone know of any legitimate drop shipping companies out there that aren't huge ripoffs? Or do any of you have any solid leads on companies that allow you to become resellers of their products? I may just build him an ecommerce store and have at it using the $10k for marketing.
