a few years ago. Overseas Trading,
for example, gets in about 80,000
pieces of clothing per week. The

a set price of $1.45 wholesale
per piece. “There is a real need
for this merchandise right now,
because the department stores are

wholesale price of these boxes of
apparel is $725 to $1,305 each.
