Mobile *Wholesale* Supplier

Karl The market is tough if you want to compete with the likes of Woolworths and also now I think Boots. They work on micro thin margins and I know the people securing these deals and we are talking thousands. The likes of CPW and Phones 4U by at a rate that makes your eyes water. Let us have rough numbers and what you want to do with them and I can introduce you to some people.

Hello Agree with Adam on that one...i recall reading a post on e bay on exactly the same point and margins being talked off were laughable...maybe Accessories hold better scope?? best wishes...Rich

Non branded accessories can bring a margin of over 500%. To beat the high street players in price, you would be lucky to make £3 a box. They of course are making much more due to the cost price. Also, you will find it hard to go to a distributor, sign up and only take one order when they have have a special offer, they would look to supply you on a regular basis. It may be an idea though to make contact with them and shift the old stock. Phones 4U often has old stock in stores, probably an average of 8 handsets per store that will never be sold. 01782 600 600 is the Caudwell Group head office - ask for Phones 4U stock dept.

Thanks for the advice.. mobiles are off the menu for me. However the non branded accessories sound very tempting, does anyone have a contact i could 'borrow' :-) thanks again Karl McKevitt

Hi Karl, My company is currently developing some database applications for a Mobile Wholesaler. I think I can give you their contacts but I'm waiting on their permission before I do so. I dont think they'll have a problem, but I wont post it here. Drop me an email and I'll repy once I've heard back from my client. Regards Alex.
