Best choice for suppliers?

Hi there,

I run a series of very high traffic entertainment sites. One main subject that runs through them is celebrities. I would like to sell movies/posters/magazines/music and have built an online store that can be imported and implemented throughout the site.

At this point I am exploring ways to find suppliers for these goods. I have no idea whether I should warehouse these goods myself or just send order requests directly to suppliers. I don't want to run through a third party for anything that the user will see (ie, affiliate programs).

Does anyone know where I could go about finding suppliers for such goods? Any advice would be appreciated.

I get about 40 thousand unique visitors a day and I believe i will convert well.

Thanks in advance.

The problem here, I think, is that those people who have located a good fulfillment / dropshipping / whatever house will want to keep it to themselves; its a competitive advantage.

I would think about approaching some of them directly. With your traffic levels, you should be a big enough potential client for them to be willing to spend some effort wooing you
