Dave:

In Australia there is a company called Tech Pacific. They are the largest importer and wholesaler of computers in the country.

You cannot buy from them without an account. You go through a lot of hoops to get an account. And can only keep your account by selling above $X amount of product.

Drop below that mystical dollar amount for a month or two and they won't sell to you any more. And it becomes even harder to get your account back.

They suggest to newcomers, to act as a sub-dealer by buying what is needed from one of their account holders. They will tell you Who the account holders are in your area and what to say to them to get the proper wholesale rate.

This lets you sell single items and do small volume.

But you are not in Australia so you will have to go to the manufacturer.

Two minutes spent on their phone system should reveal the prompts and departments that "dealers" go through. Such as "If you are a dealer requiring parts, press one" kinda thing.

So pick a manufacturer, go to their website and look for a phone number or something to do with dealers. Get in contact with them and ASK them WHO their authorized wholesaler is - tell them you want to sell their computers retail. They will provide you with the contact details you need.

If it's digital cameras. The same applies. Contact the manufacturer and ASK them who their authorized wholesaler/distributor is and then speak with them.

Hope this helps.
