Buy wholesale items to scrap?

Now, as far as buying wholesale, I've recently started to vend at the flea market. Not everything I get a good deal on will sell. It's all ok and I'm learning but definitely neither idea is risk free or get rich. Good luck.

I do know a guy that is buying a pallet or two at a time of returns from different stores. Could be toys, or sporting goods, or housewares. Doubling his money at a flea market.
