I found that with DHgate, although profitable, you have to be careful. You can get a lot of decent profit off of some of those items, you just have to make sure that you know what your looking for and who to trust.

Some fields you should stay away from (ie: ipod shuffle replicas for dirt cheap. They die off after the first few charges and you will get a lot of unhappy customers).

Umm, if I remember correctly.. There was a pretty active post on a blog one time with people and their experiences that I bookmarked...

I sell a few things from DHgate and I do make a bit of a profit, but I joined this place to find some new methods. (as I have gotten a few complaints about the quality and how some things broke down easily).

If anything, just go to the comments as the post itself is rather lengthy/technical/common sense.
