It is is if you can't buy these name brand products in sizeable quanities.  There are plenty of distributors in the UK but unless you can prove that you have the ability move 50 pcs a week your not going to see much of a profit.  It's simple economics in brand name supply chains.  The more products that can be moved by a distributor and its re-sellers the cheaper that distributor and re-sellers can aquire the products.  Proportionaly its cheaper to ship a container than 10 pcs.

I'm no genius , but Ranger is right. By the way, my head has already exploded. If you can't buy quantity then you wont be able to compete. You need to find creative ways to purchase if your an online auction seller ect.

Another little bit of info I've picked up from racking my brains out on the web. You won't find legit wholesalers by endlessly typing into search engines. These guys are all middle men. Most of your actual wholesalers don't even show up on the web and those who do don't offer much of a profit margin. You have a better shot a trying to contact the manufacturer and possibly getting lucky.

Good luck............. Keep pluggin away....

Actually TTD, they are on the internet.  VAR's, re-sellers, and distributors.  But you need to get creative in finding them on the super highway.   Just a hint for people in the U.S. use an alternative search engine besides Google, MSN, or Yahoo and you will find them.   The reason being the other 3 are predominatley guided by SEO where a few others are not.

Thanks for that bit of info.. That's why I always say to keep plugging away and something will eventually turn up.. I've tried more specific search terms and did come up with a few leads, but again nothing that would really be profitable for a small seller like myself. I will admit that I have used the more popular search engines as you mentioned and I'll take your advice and try a different approach. My biggest snag so far has been profit margin. I have accounts with D&H, Brightpoint, ect. But lets face it, most of us small guys are trying to get their feet wet on Ebay and sorts, and there is just no room for profit. Refurbished is the only way I've been able to make money and so far has been very hard to find a steady supplier. Appreciate the insight... Thanks...

I have found so many scammers peter frommer, goxm , chauncee marks and more. The thing my partner and i did was go straight to the source. We found a nokia dealer. The thing is they cant provide us with all we need. We need euro spec phones in bulk and they are NAM dealers only. 


We have orders monthly for 80-100k N95 8Gb alone. The problem is more then 60% of those are euro orders. There is money to be made in wholesale. I think the reason people stay away from wholesale is they see a $2-$5 phone mark up and they dont see that thats alot when you sell thousands of phones.


Ranger are you in wholesale? Id like to discuss some wholesale things with you. I am in the US as well.

I am having problems finding a legit nokia dealer. Yes i know about brightpoint but the prices they sell the phones for are very high. I currently get them cheaper.


That and the supplier we work with now is smaller so they only buy what they need. So for us to come in and request 10k or something made for someone the customer must prepay all of it up front which no one wants to do. i dont want to post the companies name here since we are the only brokers for them right now.


Ranger i have read many of your posts. You sound like you been doing this for awhile as well. Seems you are one of the few legit people on this site. Look forward to talking with you soon. you can find me at my nickname at Gmail

No cheaper international brands available from China. Please simply check out their Business License before payment!  You can try some Chinese brands later!

You're suggested to contact local officials for help if you want to get your money back. I can help you a lot if your supplier is right located in my city.
