Got a number for the wholesaler :)
Got the paperwork to become a reseller and get an account with them.
Anybody want to buy some electronics gear.....

Let you know how it goes.

Re: Selling Video Downloads
 

Sounds interesting I wonder how many you would have to buy as a distributor?? 1000 or 10000 to get the same price as Office Works got!!

Re: Selling Video Downloads
 

yep, I know. Was thinking the same. But Officeworks wouldnt be selling for zero markup, so even if I pay 30% more than them they still may be around the $2.50 mark..... we will see. :)

Well done Gerald with regards to contacting the wholesaler.

I've given up on Officeworks of late as a heap of their products are not in store when you go to purchase. Most annoying and inconvenient, not to mention defeating the purpose of having a physical shop.

"You can order them on the Officeworks web site" the sales droid tells me. I then reply with "I can order them from anyone's web site and the prices are cheaper too." to which the sales droid says "Yes. Lots of people have told me that."

Bypassing Officeworks is a really good thing.

Hey Gerald if the price is not right try Manufacturers & Suppliers Directory | Global Sources I used them to get my LCD video books and they enable you to contract manufacture plants direct ...Most seem to have a min order of 100 so it quite practical ... I got my 7" LCD units ready to roll for $30.00 each and the local guy sells them for $60 ....Just find what you want, fill in the enquiry and the factory will email you with details and prices

Thanks Andrew and Chris,
Yes Officeworks dont seem to promote motivated business people. Everyone I spoke to seemed to be reading from a manual and was more interested in what they cant do, rather than what they can....

Tried that site now Chris. See what they come back with. cheers :)

Hi Chris,

Weren't you using Flashbay at some point? They have always been very helpful and reasonable prices plus they will do custom printing etc. Maybe they are not as competitive as they used to be.

My quote from Flashbay-

"Your quote:
250 Wafer Drives USB(2.0)
2 GB, $6.20 AUD per unit ex. GST
4 GB, $6.35 AUD per unit ex. GST"

Nice helpful rep, but even he admitted they were a bit pricey ATM.

I know they are branded, which is great, but not at almost 3 x the cost.

Hi Roger

Not me at all ...I get mine where the price is great. If you look at 100 units you should be able to get direct from China for around US$1.50 or maybe less ....I would put in a couple of enquiries thru Global Sources Gerald and see who offers the best price ....However no sure if you want branded logos or not ..their minimum quantity might go up if you want a customised drive. Be careful of their shipping costs BTW ..they all seem to favour DHL express which is pricey so best to work on the biggest order you can afford otherwise the shipping spoils the price on a small quantity!!!

Hi Gerald,

That does sound expensive even with branding! It's a couple of years since I contacted them and they were a lot more competitive then.
