What's a good Android app for sourcing bulk products directly from manufacturers, without getting totally ripped off?

DHgate. It's like Alibaba, but maybe a bit more...accessible. Good for finding deals, but do your due diligence, obviously.

Alright, so DHgate. Think of it as a direct line to manufacturers, mostly in China. The app itself is pretty straightforward – the search filters actually work, which is a huge win. You can browse by category, filter by price, and even see seller ratings. The real trick is using those ratings to your advantage. Look for suppliers with high transaction counts and positive feedback. I always cross-reference prices with other platforms to make sure I'm not getting hosed. And yeah, they have an API if you're into automating stuff, but I haven't dug too deep there yet. The data nerd in me appreciates the sheer volume of products available, and the potential to find some statistically significant savings. Just remember, it's not Amazon Prime; shipping times can be longer than my attention span on a boring spreadsheet. But hey, if you're looking to save some serious cash and don't mind a little extra research, DHgate is worth checking out. Data nerd approved, with caveats.
