Question Games Consoles

I'm new to the games industry but want to start selling PS3's, Wii's etc. I'm drawing a blank at the moment trying to find legitimate suppliers, can anyone help and offer some reliable wholesalers please?

There are a few people selling games consoles in the forums - if you have a look in the wholesale market place section there is one for games, consoles etc..... there are a number of people selling in there.

Willhof has a great piece on branded electronics which is worth a read.

You may want to consider reading this:

If you are still looking for those items, check out the marketplace section where you can find them.

Not been funny Loubylou but you will have to search long and hard to get good prices on Consoles, the profit is veryyy little in my eyes. Maybe selling Accessories would be recommended?

Thanks for that, I think you are right, I can't find any good prices for consoles, the only ones I've found are from China/Hong Kong/USA and I am sceptical as to their validity? All say their products are genuine but until you pay the money and then wait to see if anything materialises you just don't know!

Maybe I should try and find something totally different to sell?

Well from USA they are not necessarily gonna be fake etc. But they will have the NTSC Version whereas we use the PAL, Personally My Ps3 is from Hong Kong from a supplier of TWF no problems whatsoever because they are region free(all games work) and use the 3pin plug.
Search around and see whats best out there! Not just branded stuff sell well.

Maybe I should be looking at Hong Kong suppliers then, presumably NTSC versions don't work in UK? (Sorry for the ignorance)

Hi mate, we also have PS3. However, since we are from Hong Kong, the shipping cost is very high. Thus, unless you can get more unit, otherwise the price is not good for you.
