I wouldn't. Drop shipping are usually very slow at fullfilling orders, which will result in very unhappy customers.

Drop shipping is always a bad idea with internet sites that involve feedback. Shippers are either too slow to fill orders in "Internet-time" or they're out of stock. Either way they are nothing but trouble.
Of if they are in fact a good drop-shipped (There MUST be a couple) then there are going to be hundreds of people selling the same thing that company sells. Secret sources don't last long on the Internet.
I sell new merchandise on all the big sites. And you know what? I mostly get it from distributors. But the difference between me and a drop-shipping, is that I put the cash up ahead of time and actually have the merchandise IN-HAND before I list it. If I find something that sells well, I'll buy a dozen of them. But I always have them in-stock first. If you BELIEVE in your product, you'll be willing to make the investment.
Find a real product. Make something if you have to. But forget the "make-money-for-doing-nothing" drop-shipping concept. There are just too many people failing at it everyday and giving honest sellers a bad rep.
