Wholesale usually requires you buy so many units, and it becomes hard to manage your inventory. Even if this guy couldn't sell half of these, he could return them all to his closest Walmart for only the loss of his travel. Also hot items are usually either exclusives or something you could not be a retailer of. I know there are people that buy things up on Alibaba in bulk then sell them here on Amazon and eBay...the problem is that helps counterfeiters.
