I am looking for wholesale suppliers who deal in liquidation or refurbished or selling deep discounted new products.

Please let me know if you know of such suppliers in Charlotte or within 100 mile radius of Charlotte.

We really need to know what category of products, i.e., furniture, fixtures, cabinetry, carpeting, clothing, appliances . . .

Why not set up accounts directly with manufacturers as a wholesale dealer?

That's still a wide net. I know from the audio/video market that very little is actually made in the US, until you move up past the mass market products. Even then many companies are assembling products using components made elsewhere. I can't think of a single TV manufacturer here.

Some of the best manufacturers of audio gear are here in the US. B&K and Theta Digital, for instance. Some speakers from Martin Logan and Klipsch are USA made. But you're not going to find them without doing some research. These companies don't have a well known presence outside of the people who are interested in their products. You could live in a cave and know who Sony is, but most people have never and will never hear(d) of Magnepan:

The Story Behind Magnepan

Magnepan has been manufacturing innovative, world class stereo speakers for 42 years. Jim Winey, the inventor of the Magneplanar loudspeaker, first owned electrostatic loudspeakers and began experimenting to design an improved electrostatic speaker. In 1969, Jim invented the Magneplanar, a thin-film magnetic equivalent to the electrostat and founded Magnepan.
Corporate and manufacturing facilities are located in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, a small community north of the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Having outgrown its original facilities, Magnepan's current plant is over 50,000 square feet in addition to corporate and engineering offices. To date, over 200,000 pairs of Magneplanar loudspeakers have found their way into the homes of music lovers the world over.
Magneplanars are American-made with virtually all American parts. And we are proud to say-- They are sold in China.
