Revendêlos

Revendêlos is a term used in some contexts to refer to people or firms that buy goods for the purpose of reselling them. The standard term in Portuguese is revendedores, or simply resellers; revendêlos, as a standalone noun, is not widely standardized and is more often encountered as a regional or informal form of revender os (to resell them). The concept aligns with broader practices of retail and wholesale distribution, including arbitrage and marketplace commerce.

Role and business models: Resellers can operate as autonomous micro-entrepreneurs, small shops, or as part of larger distribution networks. They may purchase from wholesalers, manufacturers, or online marketplaces and sell through physical stores, websites, social media, or marketplaces. Some engage in dropshipping, where the reseller does not stock the goods but forwards orders to a supplier who ships directly to the customer.

Economic and regulatory aspects: Reseller activity contributes to liquidity, product availability, and price discovery, but it can raise concerns about price manipulation, stock hoarding, or the circulation of counterfeit goods. Legal requirements typically include consumer protection laws, taxation, business licensing, and platform-specific rules. In many countries, resellers must comply with warranty policies, return rights, and safety or labeling standards.

Market dynamics and controversies: Reseller activity can expand distribution and competition, yet in some cases it may create shortages or grey-market flows, especially for limited-edition items, electronics, or event tickets. Critics argue that resale can harm consumers through inflated prices, while supporters say it increases access and market efficiency.
