I am seriously considering creating a dropship company focused exclusively on buying and selling electronic components that are sold for parts and people can assemble them at home, Ikea-style.

I would start with selling 50" and 65" inch "dumb" TVs. Just the panel, a nice enclosure and a board with an IR receiver, TV tuner and HDMI outputs. BYO top box and Soundbar. I wonder how fast it would take to get 10000 orders.

You can search NewEgg or Amazon for "Business TV" or "Commercial TV" and they will almost all be "dumb" TVs. They are readily available.

Readily available at a good premium.

You can sometimes get a great deal on these during liquidation though.

Nope, you're getting the ad-infested TVs for a good discount.

Well, they're at a discount if your privacy has no value.

No, they're at a discount period. They're sold for less money.
