Can I package items sold in bulk for resale?

Question

I'm in the process of opening a small craft store, I have a couple of manufacturers where I can buy bulk quantities of items (beads, glitter etc). Can I package these items in smaller amounts for resale with my store name on the package? I doubt anyone will want to buy 1000's of beads or ten pounds of glitter. Does anyone know if there are any rules about doing this?

Answer 1

if you split the bulk products up, no you cannot re-sale.

but if you're re-selling the products as they come, yes you can :)

multi-pack/bulk products usually have a not saying whether they're suitable for re-sale or not. like walkers crisp for example, if they're bought in a pack of many, the individual packs say "this is a multi-pack product, not suitable for re-sale"

simple :)

Answer 2

Yes, you can resale the goods, but you need to get a resale license and a business license.  Just call your local county clerk's office to see what the requirements are for opening a small business, and they should be able to give you details.  Or, you can check online on your state's treasury website.  Good luck!

Answer 3

I don't think there are any specific rules regarding this.  You should be able to break them up and sell them in any way you want to.  I worked for a man years ago that bought items in bulk from the navy.  He would then take the items and resell them to the military individually and make a lot of money.
