At flea markets, I have seen people selling used bulk shoes and clothing really cheap, brands like nike, crocs, uggs, etc....

I was wondering, does anybody know where they get them at? I know they buy them in bulk in large 50 or 100 pound bags, but i doubt they'll tell me where they get them. So if anybody knows where to get shoes like that in bulk, could you please let me know.

That is a huge, little known industry. If you do a search for "credential clothes", you'll pull up a ton of info. The industry terminology is a good way of getting intro info about certain industries and the used clothes/rags/shoes biz. Used clothes industry info and the sources almost seem to be held under lock and key. Wish you well in your endeavors.

we had neighbors that rented the house next ot my parents... well they had bulk items they sold at flea markets. They also had a mass amount of **** roaches as well... mass infection. It has been several years since they moved and we are still trying to get rid of them as well are the current residents in that house.

Anyways, even though there are legimate was to obtain such merchandise some are not so legal. Our ex-neighbors were found out to be part of a theft ring. Houses, retail, extra. They were even steal from garage sales.

If it looks to good to be true, it most likely is and possible filling with hidden cockroaches. Flea Market shopping to the wise.

(disclaimer not all vender are thi8s bad but do take note that they are out there)

no, they're not knockoffs, and they're not even new, they're used. I just have no idea where somebody could get large amounts of used brand name clothes and shoes like that. They sell them cheaply, like $10 for used nike shox and used uggs in good condition. If they were brand new, then I would think they were knockoffs or stolen.
My girlfriend has bought fake and real uggs, and she said these are definately real uggs.
Like I said before, they come in large 50 pound sacks with italian writing on it.

There are many "usada ropa" warehouses in McAllen and Brownsville, TX that sell clothing by the bails.
