Find a distributor for the product you wish to sell. A lot of merchandise is available at trade shows and Gift shows. Some companies only allow large merchandisers like target, walmart, Sears, etc. to sell their licensed product.
One of my customers runs a shop for licenced products every year at rose bowl time... I know he gets some of his merchandise from Champion....(but i aslo know he orders like $45,000 or more wholesale at a time..)
Also He had the college licenceing people come and spend between 8 to 16 hours going thru every item in his shop and all his invoices to make sure they are all properly licenced. so it can be a pain in the arse to handle this type of stuff..
