Looking for advice on internet "reselling"

[sptrsn]

I'm hoping someone here has had some experience with running a "reseller" website.

I've been trying to figure out the most basic of things...
Which shopping cart application should I use?
Where can I find good sources of product?
Are there any good dropship vendors or all they all scams?
Which product set should I focus on? (I actually think I may have answered this question)
Where do you find the best margins?
Is affiliate marketing a better place to start?

Any advice/ input is valued, up to and including the "RUN AWAY" type of advice.


Thanks so much.
Steve

I haven't done a lot of reselling online, but I have been doing research on shopping carts lately. The one I finally settled on was BigCommerce.

If that helps any.

Steve,

I've heard good things about Salehoo.com

Good luck,
Anthony
