Dear Licensed Computer Reseller

How's your computer resale business doing?
 
Are you STAYING competitive reselling computer hardware?
Or are the mail order dealers eating up your profits?

Having trouble staying competitive when buying QTY 1-3?
Maybe it's not volume buying, but knowing the right
wholesale sources for your resale business.

You're going to need a SOURCE of suppliers who are 
dedicated to giving you the best price breaks - not
some so-called distributor who is really just another
mailorder company selling to end-users at the same
price. If your comparing prices in the back pages of
computer magazines you need to stop!

True wholesale companys generally only sell to licensed
reseller's, NOT endusers. You generally won't find them
advertising through end-user magazine publications.

If you're specializing in any kind of vertical market,
or you are planning to build systems from the mother
board up, it would be best for you to contact smaller
speciality distributors.

Many of the top giant distributors are fine for selling
masses of NAME BRAND network stations to Corporate
America, but when it comes general hardware like hard
drives, video cards, mother boards, memory, cpu's,
keyboards and such it's not as easy to compete with
mail order when ordering from giant distributors.

There are many speciality distributors that offer
better profits to low volume buyiers. Those who only
sell hard drives or multimedia products can help you
better compete.

Looking for a distributor who sells digital mid-tower
5-bay cases with 230 watt power supplies for just
$22.00 each for Qty-1-3?

Where do you get name brand, Qty-1, 2-MB PCI video
cards for under $28.00. or 1-mb for $22.50.

How about Hard drives:

Western Digital 2.5 Gig $197.00
Maxtor 2.1 gig = $177.00
Maxtor 3.06 gig $209.00
Fujitsu 2.1 gig = $178.00
Samsung 2.1 gig = $164.00

Pentium 166MMX WITH Mother Board 512K $339.75
PENTIUM 200MMX WITH mother board 512K $489.00
686+200MHZ mother board 512K $189.50 each.

DIAMOND STEALTH 3D W/4-MB RAM ON BOARD $87.00 each

Triton FIC MB VX/512K/4-simm/MMX support/$84.00 ea.
ASUS 430VX MB 512K $99.00 ea.
QDI 512K JUMPERLESS TX $115.00 ea. AND VX $89.00 ea.

//PLEASE NOTE\\. I'm not selling hardware!

We have a service to resellers looking for better
pricing. Basicly we show you WHERE to buy, so you
can make your own contacts.

The above prices are qty 1-3 Based on June/97 prices.

If you are a large volume buyier buying in case lots,
maybe it's time to find out where your distributor is
buying from. A manufacturer right?  

We put out what's called the "Reseller's Source Kit,"
it's a software directory of manufacturers and
distributors who sell to licensed reseller's. Our 
software also works with your browser software to link
you directly to hundreds websites on the Internet.

This way you can find out all about a wholesale source
and it's policy, instead of just making a cold call
for more information on products you want to resell.

We have sources for EVERY buying level. Our goal is to
help you stay in business and stay competitive.

We even have a section each month of new hardware
products out and we provide the direct manufacturer or
distributors sources so you can make your own contacts.

We started this service in 1991 and have helped hundreds
of licensed reseller's.

Even if your working out of your home, selling through
free classifieds ads or a website, we can help you.
