search for importer of small L.E.D flashing strobes

Hello, I am trying to find out who the importer is of a new fad of
"fashinware" that is being sold on several web sites that are geared
to the club/party going seen.  The are small little "flashing body
strobes" that run off of three AG3 hearing aid batteries.  I have
found numerous site that sell what I would like to purchase. 
Unfortunately..........I have  yet to locate/identify who their
primary wholeseller/importer is.  PLEASE go to the following site to
see description of the product I desire to purchase.  I simply need to
get in touch with WHO/M they are buying these little lights from as I
do not desire to pay retail prices when i am awaer that these little
flashing body strobes cost around .25-.40 cents to make.

please go to the following sites for description!

turbostrobe.com,( great site and OK price BUT they have not responded
to three email request i sent),
flashingflirt.com,glowspace.com,clubthings.com..........This will help
describe exactly what I am trying to find...........Simply not from
them as I want to make contact with the
manufacturer/wholeseller/importer.

you can also search under AG3 batteries.  The actual light is in a
smalll cylindrical metal container that houses the three small AG3
batteries, the top contains the various colored flashing LED's and it
is turned on/off simply by tightening/loosening the top portion thuis
engaing/disengaging the battery connection!

I will pay $75.00 to the firsty researcher that can provide me a list
with contact info of any/all of the companies tha are selling these
"flashing body strobes" to the various sites I have offered to you to
research.

I desire to market these BUT DO NOT wat to pay the mark up any of
tehse people are adding to their initial purchase cost.

thank you for your consideration and I will look forward to someone
tracking down what i have been unable to this far!

best regards!!

Hi there,

The Chinese manufacturer appears to be Chuanz, but unfortunately there
is no mention on their website about who their US distributor is -
this suggests to me that there are many US companies who each import
the product and sell it wholesale.

I searched for flashing body strobes cheaper than $1.25 (the price
mentioned at TurboStrobe), and came up with the following:

Hi R.S Thanks for the work.............

I would appreciate if you could do some more digging in to the Chinese
manufacturer if you will.  I have already verified pricing as low as
.75-.86 cents from fashionflirt.com,  This would also be true if
turbostrobe.com would respond.  These are prices posted on turbo
strobe.com's web site.

the one piece of info you did find that I am really digging for was
the "apparent name" of the Chinese Manufacturer..........Chuanz.

the added web sites that are selling the various lights under or
around a dollar is great BUT, they are still all getting them from
CHUANZ??? or another importer and I need to know how to reach that
importer and how I can buy from them like all of the sites that you
mention!!!

So you are close and I appreciate your work.  In all honesty, I would
really appreciate you completeing the puzzle for me as I still do not
have the exact answer I was looking for which was "how" to get in
touch with the importer so I can inquire about puyrchasing direct from
them or whoever sells to the various sites you
mention............Buying these little lights at around .25 to .40
cents is much better than .75-1.25 if I intend to market these in
large volumes where people will demand lower mark up per piece. 
PLEASE let me know what you can uncover for a point of contact with
CHUANZ or any other "importer" and how OI can reach them to make my
purchase of the flashing strobe L.E.D.s  GREAT work, you are almost to
the answer I seek.  THANKS for your help.........I will wait for your
reply as I do desire to pay you if I can get the exact answer I
started in to this process to find!  best regards DS

Hi again,

Here's the contact details for Chuanz:

Chuanz Light Industrial Mfg.Co.,Ltd   
Address 718 Mechanical No.6 Lane 29 Liming West Rd Wenzhou, Zhejiang,  
Zip Code 325000  
Country China, People's Republic [CN]
Telephone 86-577-88842175  
Fax 86-577-88842176  

Sales Manager: Ms. Jane Ye
E-mail: rz@wz.zj.cn

Info found via Ecrobot and Trade Offer:

http://www.ecrobot.com/
http://www.tradeoffer.com/catalogue/ViewCatalogue.html?idx=4636&page=1

At the Chuanz.com site Robert Skelton mentioned, add the items that
interest you to your "shopping cart" as if you want to order them.
Then choose "view cart". At the bottom of the cart you will see an
"inquiry now" button. That will take you to a form where you can send
a message to the company, with the expected number of strobes you
intend to order, to get additional information.

A bit cumbersome, but it should ultimately get you the wholesale
price.

Well this is my first go at using this system and I did not read past
the initial comment to see the further clarification from "expertlaw"
SORRY!!

I will try this approach to reach the company.  Any further more
direct approach to inquiring about this companies way to sell to me as
a "wholeseller" would be great.........Does this appear to be the main
or only importer where most of these web sites is buying from. 
Hopefully this falls within the content of my original question as I
am hopefully smart enough to see this is a pay for each question as
you go system!!!  that part I understand!!  Thanks for any further
clarification or a more stream lined approach which is truly what I
had hoped for when I posted the question yesterday.

thank you both very much for your research/input.  sincerely, DS
