“I liked the challenge of trying to sell something that somebody else discarded. Whether it was a brand or a consumer or however it came to us. I just liked the challenge.”

NuSource: At NuSource®, we believe wholesale should be more than a transaction, it should be a transformation. Our mission is to empower resellers and small businesses with the tools, support, and quality inventory they need to grow with confidence.

As a small, primarily female-run company, we understand the real challenges entrepreneurs face. That’s why we’re committed to building genuine partnerships, offering guidance, transparency, and sustainable wholesale solutions that create long-term value for your business, not just your next order.

At NuSource®, we curate inventory solutions that help resellers grow with confidence. Our offerings include:

  • Secondhand: Pre-loved styles selected for quality and longevity.
  • New with tags: Overstock and retired pieces sourced through valued brand partnerships.
  • New without tags: Unworn returns and samples ready for their first home.

From hand-picked boxes to large-scale pallets, our inventory spans everyday staples to standout designer labels. No matter where you sell- eBay, Poshmark, Depop, or your own brick and mortar storefront- we’re here to make sourcing easier, more reliable, and more supportive of your long-term business goals.
