1800 iPod Nano 4GBs. This stock is PHYSICAL. AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.

MOQ: 50
Price (USD): $182 -188 depending on the quantity
Shipping term: FOB New York or Houston

We just want to check how many of you are interested in this deal till tomorrow. As soon as enough people show interests, I will submit LOI to ask a POS and supplier’s license copy on Monday.

However, we have two big problems now. The first one is that we don’t have much time to get this deal. Need to move as quickly as we can.

The second problem is about payment options. Because 1800 is the biggest quantity we have dealt with, we don’t know how to receive this big amount of money, about 400k. We don’t have merchant accounts for credit card payments. According to many forum members, PayPal often freezes an account whenever receiving big money. If this deal goes through, how can we solve this payment problem in short time like a week? T/T or wire transfer can be an alternative option, but if I were you, I won’t pay a new seller any money in these two forms. So, we want two or three buyers to do fly & buy with us after signing NCND. But, this way doesn’t figure out our problem completely. Need your brilliant ideas, folks. So, delivery will be done after receiving all payments because we don’t have enough funds to support 1800 units.

### There is another physical stock of iPod Nano 4GB. 5K units are available right now. The unit price is $164. This is also a take-all deal using escrow.com or hellman escrow.

when is the fly and buy? Where to? And how much is the MOQ for a fly and buy?

1. when is the fly and buy?
Not decided yet. As soon as receving all payments, we will arrange the date and time.

2. Where to?
This supplier has two warehouses in New York and Houston. In fact, he has total 10k physical stocks in both warehouses now. Actually, 2k is his MOQ, but we will take 200 units. That's why we posted 1800. So, the location depends on avaialbility when submitting LOI. We are located in Austin; so, Houston is better for us. But, don't know.

3. And how much is the MOQ for a fly and buy?
Two or three buyers who will purchase most in quantity.

I am interested. I am currently setting up a merchant account with my bank. By the end of next week we should not if the account is set-up to take MasterCard, Visa and AMEX. If the account gets set up in time, I am willing to except credit card orders for buyers from this forum plus my own buyers for a quantity of 500 to 1000 units. I am in the Dallas area and Houston would is better for me also. If the Fly & Buy is far enough in the future, hopefully we will be able to set this up. Let me know if this option is ok. If we miss this deadline we should be able to meet the next one.

for UK buyers, will customs/VAT be charged or is it included in the price?

[business007]

Hey, I can probably purchase 200-300 units however, the minimum quantity is 2k, don't you think $182 is still a lot for that quantity? If I'm buying 200-300 I'd expect it around at least in the $170 range.

You wont get a $170 price tag for 200-300, more like 5,000 for that.

[business007]

so do you guys think thats a good price? i can purchase 400-500 max, but I'd like to see physical stock and everything. Money isn't the problem the fact is if this is legit and everything.

It's a good price if you are planning on unloading it on eBay. Ok price if you are trying to wholesale it to others...

If someone knows of a way to creatively extract money from my card, I can take on 500 units. I have an AMEX charge card and it will not decline large transactions as that is my avg spending.
