Default Any known Apple wholesalers?

Hello,
I wish to deal with Apple products (ie iPods, iPhones, Mac computers).

I was just wondering if there is any website or company out there willing to sell wholesale for new or refurbished Apple branded products.

If there are any websites or companies. Please post them below.

Thank You.

Search the forum, you will find this answer many many times. The extremely simple answer is though - if you don't have a lot of cash then don't even bother.

I would personally stay away from Apple products. The only way you can get them at a true wholesale price is if you want to purchase a very large lot. I would try to locate a supplier that is Apple Authorized and see what they can do for you. I do know that you can get some good deals on refurbished Apple units.

If you don't have the Apple contract yourself don't even bother. Even at large quantities you will not get breaks. For example, I knew people that purchased 10k iphones at a time and they still barely got breaks, just because these items were so hot that the seller didn't have to discount them at all. The whole "well if I buy more can you cut me a deal?" basically goes out the window with Apple product, as no legit seller will cut you a deal as that would be stupid when they can sell to the highest bidder. Also if you don't already have an Apple source, you will just run into 99% scammers which will make your search for a legit dealer next to impossible.
