Arrow Apple Computers

Can anyone give me a supplier of Apple products? I'm specifically looking for MacBook Pro, MacBook, and iMac computers, but I am interested in the whole line of Apple products (iPod, Mighty Mouse, iWork, etc.).

Thank you in advance for your help.

If your looking for a regular supply of Apple products, the best people to get in touch with are Apple, or one of their authorized resellers. Their products are renown for being hard to source, not to mention there being very little profit.

I think there is quite a bit of profit to be made in this market. Apple products are selling like hot cakes. I personally bought my MacBook Pro for about $300 less than Apple MSRP, meaning the company I bought it for got it for a lot less than MSRP. From an estimate, I believe wholesalers can get Apple MacBook Pros for about $400 - $600 less than MSRP. I can sell these products because I use and love them, but I just need a supplier.

You are not going to find a wholesale source for Apple products in the US. Wasting your time even looking.

As far as estimatiing the dealers cost, that could be an excerise in futility.

And the guy that gave you a deal might not be selling them much longer. Other than genuine promotions, Apple does not like people who cut their prices. They maintain a good grip on their entire distribution network.

Forget Apple. If you truly want to sell them, get a job in one of their stores, they only hire enthusiasts, anyhow.
