Hi,

What is the best/cheapest way to pre-order videogames in bulk. Let´s say between 100-500/title.

What is the criteria for actually being able to negotiate directly with the manufacturer, if even possible?

Grateful for any thoughts/recommendations.

You won't get anywhere near the manufacturer, I'm afraid. You need to go through distributors.

Have you looked within Sweden for the main distributors?

Well, overall the prices are probably 20-30% more expensive here than in UK.

Do you know in general what discount you could look at if you spend about 100.000£/month? Comparing to the general pricelists that is.

I did sign up with some large distributors in UK, however at that time I couldn´t buy in large enough quantities to even ask for discounts.

And out of curiosity, what quantities would you need to look at to be able to talk with the manufacturer? 5-10.000 units/title maybe?

Do you mean there are better/less expensive distributors in other European countries or are you talking about Asian distributors?
