Where would be a good place to go or a website to find sales figures of products?

Google is actually a good resource to find market data, if you are willing to learn the advanced search operators and such and figure out how to use them to your advantage.

Factiva is an easy to use site to find certain market/survey data and other stuff. It is not cheap to use on a regular basis. Sometimes they offer free trials.

Biznat – www.biznat.com – appears to be a respectable resource considering it is free. I have only used it briefly to test it out.

http://tr.im/quickstatistics will take you to a Google Custom Search Engine put together by Criterion Dynamics. The search engine does not work perfectly but does work. It provides an easy way to use Google to search the web for statistics and it does make it a lot easier to search the Census Bureau’s data. http://tr.im/surveys may also be helpful.

If you are looking to find sales of a specific product (by a specific company) annual reports are useful. If you are looking for data re: corporate revenue, you can get a free 7 day trial to D&B’s Selectory database (@ www.selectory.com). Reference USA is also a respectable business database and may be accessible through your local library’s website. Hoovers.com should also work.
