Shopping

• Browse craft websites to get a feel for the craft you wish to buy. If you are going to sell crafts at shows or fairs, invest in a variety, so that if one craft doesn't sell well you have other choices for customers. Making the initial decision of what to order may be the most challenging step in the process. Take your time and plan what you want to buy well before the event.
  
  

Comparing Prices

• Once you know what you want to order, do a little hunting on the web. Take time to find the lowest price for your craft. Be sure to consider the quantity. You want to get the most items for the least amount of money. You may find very inexpensive crafts, but their quality may not be as good other items that cost a bit more. Do not sacrifice quality. You want to find crafts you can sell at a higher price, so make sure they look expensive even though the cost to you is low.
  
  

Ordering

• Have the crafts delivered to a location where you can inspect and store them. Compare everything on the invoice to the contents. Be absolutely certain that your order is correct. Your crafts may require a bit of assembly before you can offer them for sale.
