Seems to be so much demand for these items everywhere, can any registered sellers on this forum supply these items in UK format?

Hi Steve,

Dont want to be the bearer of bad news but I dont think you will get much luck on here with these. With demand so high some distributors are low on stock or have run out and if someone managed to get hold of a few they could quite easily get full retail price or more straight away to gen public. Had a scan on Ebay and see some going for £100.
Sent 20 of these back to a friend of mine after he run out and last time i spoke to him he had 4 left.
Rock Band is one to go for if you can get it as on retailer forum a couple are having trouble getting these or only been able to get a very small allocation.

Thanks for that, but how can we possibly get a wholesale supply of these - it looks like one of those products that the distributers will list on eBay themselves so that they receive a premium price. Whoever said the famous quote "to get wealthy, you must spread wealth around" must of either been on some funny pills or drank too much absynth :eek:

hi i can supply you with games

only way to do it is with official distributors, they will take orders and send them out when they get them although they allocate them so you couldnt buy all of their stock.
wouldnt get distributors selling them on ebay plus alot on ebay are probably imported in or looking at some prices probably got them in high street on release day hold them for a bit and sell at higher price.

Thread Moved to Wanted Section

* This is a request for a product supply, it is therefore more suited in the "Wanted" section of the forum.

I'm afraid no one will just tell you that information.

you need to be a rgistered business for many

There are various UK distributors of video games in the UK, but you will find very few stock all platforms so you’ll most probably have to register with all of them. Heres just a few:

http://www.kochmedia.co.uk – Distributors of Nintendo products predominantly. Computer software and games in stock too.

http://www.centresoft.co.uk – Distributors of Sony PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3. They also have UMD movies and Blu-Ray’s. If I remember correctly, they also stock budget PC titles but I’m not too sure.

http://www.gem.co.uk – They have the distribution rights of Xbox and Xbox 360 games. As well as having exclusive distribution rights over a number of publishers (Take Two is one of them, so ideal for GTA stock). They’ve loads of other products, too, such as MP3 players and gaming accessories.

You should know none of the above will deal with eBay sellers. So do not mention it, if that’s where you plan to sell. Get a basic store live (Pete would be the person to talk to) and say this is where you’ll be selling your games. It should suffice.

As for being a “registered business”, that’s a legal requirement anyway and carries serious consequences if you choose to try and slip under the radar. Its tax evasion at the end of the day, and it can result in a prison sentence! Many do try and get away with it (there’ll get caught sooner or later), but its best to do things by the book from day 1. No nasty surprises that way!
