Hello all and welcome to my thread. Here is where new people can discuss there findings on how to find a good supplier for certain types of Consumer Electronics. I want to specialize in Mp3's, Portable DVD Player's, and Video Game Items. I will put down facts and questions I have so far and hopefully people working together can come to a solution to help business owners start. If you post here please tell us a few things about yourself and company and what you are looking for in the way of information. Please do not advertise on this thread unless I have verified you are legit, which it seems is usually not the case. Below is a little about me my company and the questions I have thus far....

My name is Zack Neward and I have just registered Top Tech Tronics a little while ago. I live in Walnut Creek California by San Francisco and am a banker by trade. I did the basics and signed up with D&H distributors and looked at their prices. THey are not competitive enough to sell from in most cases, especially if you don't have a developed website. I almost fell for a few scams, my peopblem is I have the credit facilities for a large purchase but not the trustworthy contacts. It is tough to find a specialized distributor that has the right price and reliability. I think the $160 Nano 4gb is a lie and myth but I could be wrong, I just know people that purchase millions from apple and only make 15% on Ipods. I don't thinkyou can purchase 20,000 nano 4gb for $145 each but I could be wrong. I have started to find useful sights by registering for CES in Vegas and looking at the distributors who are attending. That is a great lead source people email me for more info, CES can give you access to alot of premium info on suppliers. I know how a distribution chain works but I need to know how someone can sell a zen micro for $60 on ebay, how do they get there products for so cheap. How do you find the OEM and purchase straight from them? What type of Purchase size does it take?

So my Tip: Register for CES in Vegas and use the event planner to find product suppliers and distributors.

My question: How to get competitive pricing for sales on web or e-bay? What makes the successes so different.

Looking to talk to everyone soon.

Don't all rush to the think tank at once. Maybe start by giving your opinion on whether or not you think it's possible to get a Nano 4gb bulk purchase for under $170 each. They say its possible here but it seems to only be fraudsters. I think it's impossible but that doesn't stop me from trying to check.

I don't think you're going to get much advice on this topic here. ResellerRatings isn't about reselling items. It's a site that lets consumers read and write reviews of online stores (resellers), and compare prices on products.

Scott, Where can you find wholesalers that are reliable? Is there a forum for that?

Honestly don't know, sorry. This site is for consumers..
