Had an interesting thought over the weekend. I've been noticing there's a serious lack of good quality, reliable, and affordable drop shippers out there.

My idea is this. Be a very small level wholesalor / drop shipper in a very specific niche.

There's an old adage about how during the Gold Rush, while some prospectors got rich, many wound up going home broke. The person who always made money through all this was the guy selling pick axes and shovels. 

I see this as an business idea as one that's needed and one that is being neglected and not being done by anyone else. It could potentially be a way to leverage and make more money off your current setup if your already in ecommerce, or this could be a stand alone business on it's own.

What's your thoughts?
