Computer Component Wholesale

Hi all,

I posted this message of the 'Techie' board but got no responce, so I'm hoping some of you regulars can help?!?

I'm looking for an address / www / directory that I can purchase wholesale computer components from. The places listed on the internet cost you to subscribe and to be honest, I don't really trush something I can't see before I buy...

Thanks
Simon

    If you are looking to buy wholesale to sell on ebay you won't make a profit. Most items on ebay are selling at less than wholesale anyway.

    HI,

    https://www.aria.co.uk allow you to register as a trader which gives you some sort of discount over normal prices.

    The amount of discount you receive can vary from product to product

    Thanks,
    Neil

    I agree with Soolin, if you're planning to buy from wholesalers and sell on EBay, there's no or little profit involved after you put all the work in.

    The only way to make any serious money is to sell high value items and import them directly from abroad in bulk, e.g. from the Far East.

    Thanks everyone, thats a great help.

    The information required is definately not for eBay sales.

    Thanks again.

  • I build and repair pc`s for a living and there arnt really any cheap wholesale pc parts places out there. And the ones which are out there actually cant match the main public computer suppliers such as ebuyer, dabs, komplett etc...

    If you do find anywhere doing stuff cheaper than them, then let me know as i spent about 20k with ebuyer last year alone.
