Drop shipping poker books

Hi,

I am planning to make an online poker book store. However, I don't wanna invest in 100's of books to collect dust in my house, so I was wondering if anybody knows an online book store (with poker books) offering drop shipping?

In case you don't know what drop shipping is:
Drop shipment or drop shipping is a type of retailing where the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead passes the customer's order and shipment details to the wholesaler, who then dispatches the goods to the customer directly. The retailer makes their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price.

Thanks

i have looked for a poker book drop shipper before. I was unable to find one. One option for you is to affiliate for amazon maybe?

Thanks guys

I guess it will be amazon.

Is it possible to integrate shopping cart and checkout on your own site?

Yes in two ways. Either Amaon will do the transactions. Or you do them with their checkout system.

Check out one of my Amazon sites http://www.mucknuts.com

I set that up in like 10 minutes last night so it's got some missing data but still it shows how easy it is.

Also you can use their checkout on your site but I have never done that.

I actually went with ebay to affiliate......From what I am reading the comissions are a bit higher on ebay. goto my site at www.psmoney.com and the sections poker books and poker dvd's are the ones I chose.

Thanks a lot guys

BTW - psmoney, IE7 warns me about http://www.psmoney.com/Poker+Books.cms.htm as a possible phishing site
