ESquire

[kiepie]

Anyone knows why only dealers may buy at ESquire.
Anyone from the public ever got it right to buy directly from them.

Any help please?

P.S Is PCInternational cheaper then ESquire, anyone ever compared?

what a coincidence..I was on their site now and was wondering the same thing. lol but it helps if you have contacts/family in the industry. Now I just gotta find a Rectron reseller. But ya these businesses should sell to the public..just take their prices and add a small markup, I'd prefer actually buying direct from the big guys

It's their business model guys: if you wanna play, you gotta play by their rules. But if you're looking for (usually) "dealer channel" distributors that sell directly to the public I direct your attention to Cyberdyne, Frontier-Electronics and Accomp Systems.

Yeah I've bought from Cyberdyne before...some items have very good prices others the total opposite. You know it's sad when I look at sites like newegg and see how much they pay and they don't even have to leave their house. I know it's more expensive because of import fees blah blah

Three little words: "economy of scale" ..only, that's not all. They (in the States) also have delivery systems: (basically) efficient and (mostly) honest postal service, strongly competitive courier services, etc. By way of example (and I suspect you know this): it's cheaper for us to import something from Amazon than it is to buy locally ..*shrug* it's simple, I'll vote with my wallet until (HAH!) the situation improves.

The situation (and I suspect you know this) is not likely to change an time soon
