Why not start here on the forum? Word soon gets around..

i probably will just wondering if there were other places

What you need to consider is that, if you put 500 nanos on here (at the right price) then you would sell them. So you don't need anywhere else, not in the first instance atleast.

Try building up contacts over MSN, and offer your services online. You can also set up a mailing list like Diablo Audio

I never really liked the idea of MSN as a business venue, very useful for talking to a factory in China but if you are dealing with someone in the same country/ time zone then pick up the phone.

I agree. It can be slightly unprofessional, but you can start negotiations on there, and then if a deal looks promising, pick up the phone.

You should however note that most serious wholesale businesses don't actively trade on MSN, this isn't to say that some don't as some do, but just bear in mind that not "every" wholesaler will discuss things with you on MSN. Simply because they are rushed off their feet enough without sitting typing messages out that could be settled in minutes over the phone or in person.

thanks for your help everyone, just in talks with various people at the moment, will probably buy a sellers thingy soon if things go right, but is there a lot of interest in bigger buys eg 200 nano's etc?

It depends on what your MOQ is, just look at JMGames thread to see the response.
