This is your fifth thread out of eight where you, hrnguyen, bring up unknown webstite and ax if they are real or scams, or if anyone has done any business with them......

I think you are a troll and are being paid for your service. I personally have never heard of any of these abstracted and alien sites..........

frostbitetwice,
Are you then suggesting that this individual is being paid by what seem to be unrelated company's?
Except for the products he is looking to buy I see no such link. In fact I don't even know what products he is looking for.

Do you have any evidence of this? Would you prefer if he went ahead and lost money to a scammer and then asked about them?

I believe he explained what he is doing in this post.

Since hrnguyen admits that none of the previous company's he's asked about are legit. I fail to see what he would be getting paid for.

It looks to me as if hrnguyen is looking for a legit supplier for wholesale where items are purchased in bulk and purchases that can easily run into the 10,000's of dollars. I believe that he is asking for the opinions of more experienced people and being diligent in checking out the company's before he enters into a business relationship with them. Finding a wholesale supplier can be a difficult task and you have to consider a profit margin when choosing one, and yet must also keep your prices competitive. You must also consider that other people are reluctant to give out the names of their suppliers because of possible competition from other resellers.

I'd also point out that the title of this forum is, "Merchant Discussion and Shopping Advice."

With all due respect, Master nomaxin, I can not agree with you.

What a wonderful way to post SPAM by simple axing this question, "Does anyone know if XYZ corporation is legit or a scam."

Furthermore, this site consists of end users (retail consumers) rather wholesalers. The companies he lists are nothing more that resellers and anyone should know that.

Moreover, he has never mentioned what types of products he is seeking. It is not hard to find a distributor..... All one need to do is to call the manufactures themselves and they will gladly tell you. Any industry trade group would do the same.

"Since hrnguyen admits that none of the previous company's he's asked about are legit."

Master nomaxin, I am still looking for the where he admits this........other than fleabay, which we all know is NOT WHOLESALE.

hrngyen, tell us very little about where he is located, what his business model is or what type of part and or volume he needs.

One thread fine, two ok, but five. If you want to buy his BS, fine by me, but I can see through his smoke and mirrors. BTW, this is not the first time hear on RR, this tactic has been used.

That's odd. A search of the 'Store Ratings' here at RR lists around 200 merchants whose names consist of the word 'wholesale'. Granted some only sell at wholesale prices, but some do sell wholesale in bulk. Since we have ratings on wholesalers I see no reason people cannot come here for advice, even though RR seems to focus mostly on retailers.

Examples;
chinavasion_China_Shop_China_Wholesale_MindTech
Cable_Wholesale
Battery_Wholesale_Distributors
Wholesale_Connection
Here's one that is even a Ebay Store;
Priceitwholesale_aka_520_Camera

It does say ResellerRatings.com at the top of the page.

I belong to half a dozen forums in which people ask about merchants. It makes do difference to me if they are looking for a single item or a bulk purchase. It sure doesn't bother the scammers, they'll rip off either buyer just the same.

[frostbitetwice]

I took a random search of these "wholesalers" and they all one thing in common, selling items as small as one unit.... They use of the word "wholesalers" simply a marketing tool and nothing else. My understanding of the distribution chain, in the main, that they sell in bulk and only to authorized retailers.

Please, Master nomaxin, correct me if I am wrong..

wikipedia.org/wiki/Wholesale

Wholesaling is the sale of goods or merchandise to retailers, to industrial, commercial, institutional, or other professional business users, or to other wholesalers and related subordinated services.[1]

According to the United Nations Statistics Division, Wholesale is the resale (sale without transformation) of new and used goods to retailers, to industrial, commercial, institutional or professional users, or to other wholesalers, or involves acting as an agent or broker in buying merchandise for, or selling merchandise, to such persons or companies. Wholesalers frequently physically assemble, sort and grade goods in large lots, break bulk, repack and redistribute in smaller lots.

Many company's (Apple, Rolex, SeaGate, Sony...) have what is known as 'authorized retailers'. Some do not, depends on the merchandise. AFAIK it is not illegal to sell items if you are not a 'authorized retailer'. For example, here is a list of Seagate Technology Authorized Retailers

Select a Seagate US Authorized Retailer:

* Amazon
* Best Buy
* Buy.com
* Circuit City
* CDW
* CompUSA
* DataVision
* Dell
* eCost
* Fry's Electronics
* Insight
* J & R Computer World
* MacMall
* NewEgg
* onSale
* PC Connection
* PC Mall
* Pro Vantage
* RCS
* Ritz Camera
* Target
* Tech Depot
* Tiger Direct
* Wal-Mart
* Zones

Note that CostCo is not on the list. Yet here is a CostCo listing for a SeaGate HDD, here is Radio Shack, and OfficeMax selling them too. Also here are the results for a model of SeaGate HDD using RR's price search engine. Of the 12 merchants listed only one is on the above list, Amazon. Ebay currently has just under 2,000 listings. Where do you think all these people get them?
Granted some manufactures (Apple) try to limit who can sell their products through various means, limits on warranties for one, Many, if not most, manufactures don't.

"above list, Amazon. Ebay currently has just under 2,000 listings. Where do you think all these people get them?"

Master nomaxin, you know as well as I of numerous grey market suppliers... TigerD, is just one of them....

As for RS and Costless, these companies may and more than likely do, either a bulk purchase via the manufacture or through a well established etailer, such egger.

These two companies you mentioned are not materially important to the financial wellbeing of Seagate.

The supply structure maybe different for the computer industry in general, however, normal the nomenclature is as the following: Manufacture, distributor, retailer.

6. Counterfeit and Gray-Market Goods
From prescription medications to music, movies and designer clothing, counterfeit goods are a $250-billion-a-year market, according to Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy. Because vendors can post pictures and descriptions of the real thing, it's tough to tell what you're looking at until the item is in your hands, says Edgar Dworsky, editor of Consumer World. Consumers can't tell unless the seller is brutally honest — and most aren't, says Dworsky. So-called gray-market items complicate things further. These items are legit and legal, but get to the market through unapproved channels, such as third-party wholesalers and resold store overstock. As a result, manufacturers' warranties don't apply

It is a all to difficult to determine who is who on the internet and this forum will more than likely not prove the needed asnwer.
