Hello,

I have been recently looking for a list of wholesellers who would do
business with my company.  We sell computers via our website
(cpu-parts.com) and ebay. Business has been doing very well, so much
so that we need to expand our inventory. Our current vendor that we
use is very reaiable but doesn't have a very wide selection of items
to choose from that we can actually sell and make a profit/break even.

What I am looking for is a list of wholesellers/distrbution companies
that are willing to deal with our company. I will provide a list of
things I am looking for in them and also a list of things that you
might need to know about us:

* The wholeseller/distribution company doesn't have to have an
extremely wide selection,  but at least 1 or 2 computers or laptops
(name brand) that we can sell and actually break even or make a
profit. There are alot of sites around now that claim to be wholesale
prices but the truth is that most of them are right around the retail
price and you would loose money to try to sell them. For instance, the
vendor we use now has over 200 different items to choose from (only 13
computers/laptops). Out of thoose 13, we currently sell 3 of them,
because the other 10 are priced too high.

* Does not have to be able to drop ship. This is not a necessity for
us, although it is a plus.

* Must be willing to ship in quanities of 1. We do not like to order 1
computer/laptop at a time. We on avrage sell 1-2 units per day but
make all of our orders  on one day during the week to cut down on
time. Although there have been instances where we have had to order a
unit because of an emergency and we would like to know if we need to
it wouldn't be that much of a hassle.

* As stated above,  sell around 1-2 units a day,  depending on how
busy we are. Once we get more units to sell, we will sell more units,
as long as the prices are right.

* Must have overnight shipping avaiable. We use it pretty often.

* Although we would like to make money, since it requires very little
work to sell a unit we don't build we are willing to sell some units
at cost, so if you find a place that has PC's and Laptops slightly
high but still below retail (50-75 dollars) please list them, because
we can sell them at cost.

* We have really 1 trade reference; the rest of our inventory just
comes from computer shops on the internet,  although we have a couple
of stores we use quite often, we only have one company where we are
actually signed up with in a vendor/reseller contract.

* We will prepay for all of our items via credit card and every once
in a while do a C.O.D but that will be extremely rare, 95% of the time
we will prepay for the item and have it shipped to our office.


* We mainly, well we are a computer company, but if the price is
right, we will sell other electronics as well, espically video game
consoles, blank media, mp3 players, LCD's,  etc.


* We are a real company, and we can provide banking information, 
Federal Tax-ID number and a Resellers ID number if necessary.

The more information I can get the better.
