Default Found a Supplier!

Hi. everyone who wants to make extra cash. Read this Thread.

I'm not going to give too much info out because there are alot of people who would want this info...hence I take advantage. Sorry but I searched hard for this supplier. I will be the middle man and sell to whoever is looking for a legit supplier.

Most Suppliers that are scammers will only accept Wire Transfer cuz you cant get your money back no matter what you do. (well suppliers with out alot of capital will only accept wire transfer as well...but who the hell is going to trust them).

I found a legit supplier in the USA. I did some background checks on him. His website has been up since March 26 2005. He added a retail store to his website recently....why would a scammer put up a retail store? maybe cuz he isnt a scammer. He has an "about us" link. All the info given is accurate. His business address and name matches the states yellow pages. He is an alumni of the University that he stated he graduated from. The most important info I checked was...He claims on the site that he was a business sales manager at Apple computers. I researched and what do you know he really did work for Apple.

He likes Wire Transfers because they are fast and cheap. HOwever he understands that there is a risk for the buyer (site says use Wire Transfer once trust is gained). ...so He accepts many types of payments. Letter of Credit, Escrow, Official Checks, Paypal. Prices are pretty decent enough to make a good profit.
I ordered 100 ipod Nano 4gb from him. He sent me a pro forma Invoice. I endorsed it.
Went to the bank and arranged a Letter of Credit. Bank sent supplier a completed transfer form and the LC terms to the supplier. The supplier arranged shipment of the merchandize as requested in LC. He then prepared appropriate documents to the bank. Bank reviewed documents and were satisfied taht the documents complied with the terms of the LC. The funds were then transfered to Bank of America and then Bank of america payed supplier the transfered amount.
This guy is legit ... he accepts secure payments. But the down side is...this took quite some time to complete the payment process. I trust him with wire transfer for my next order. It'll be alot faster than the LC.

I will be purchasing more from this supplier after I sell off my 100 nanos. I'm guessing I'll make another purchase in mid november or sooner....before christmas for sure. If you are interested please message me your email and I'll contact you. USA only. I will not do international....don't want to have to deal with customs taxes and tariffs.

Here is my Price List for Ipod Nano 4gb:

5 - $220 per unit
10 - $205 per unit
25 - $190 per unit
50 - $175 per unit
100 - $165 per unit
200 - $150 per unit

Shipping not included in prices. Buyer Pays for shipping. Buyer gives me complete instructions on how he wants it shipped and I'll do it. Buyer pays exact shipping charges not a penny more. Pick up available.
I don't want to do over 200 units per customer. Too much for me to handle and I doubt anyone will want 200+ units.
Prices can be negotiated. As long as I don't lose money.
If I get enough buyers I might do this right away ASAP.

Payment:
I dont have enough capital to make a huge purchase and have it in stock to sell to you. I will need money up front. If you feel comfortable with Wire transfer ... it is cheap and fast. But I will do any secure payment that I can. Personal Checks. Money Orders. Ummm Official checks from Banks...pretty secure...it can be traced. Paypal but paypal fees are crazy! If you pay with pay pal you pay for paypal fees about 3%.


If you dont feel secure with paying Money up front. I will put small orders 5 -10 units on eBay Buy it Now. Very Secure and I've sold things on ebay before and have a 100% rating at 51 transactions. Pay for auction with Money Order. NO paypal unless you pay for Paypal Fee 3%. Once auction is payed for and payment is cleared. It will take about 1-2 weeks to ship to you. I will do all I can to get it to you before christmas to sell.
