wholesale prices ect

[benjamin_c]

i'm considering bulk buying computer peripherals such as external harddrives, printers ect and i'm wondering what the whole sale pricing will be for them, i have contacted one wholesaler who was unable to tell me prices unless i open an account with them for some reason but i dont want to open an account unless i know theres a reasonable profit margin in it for me, can anyone offer any help? :|

If you really have a good quantity, it's will be much cheaper to buy directly from China.

what kind of prices am i likely to be looking at though, say for instance i'm considering purchasing 100 units as my first order and the highstreet retail price is aprox £50 what would be the trade price?

as for buying in from china, how do i go about this?

i would want the products to be well known brands and not chinese generics.

The majority of reputable suppliers will not give prices until you open an account, it's the way it works.

why is this? :| i don't want to open an account and then relise their prices are too much, i;d like to know prices then open an account.

I should imagine it's so the public and competitors don't find the prices, also a lot will only deal with a registered company.

there are number of companies but best to deal directly with manufacturer like hp, dell, samsung and may be they can lead you to their main supplier of the country.

Thanks
