Hardware Wholesaler Questions:

[Shpongle]

Hi all,

I have recently completed the registration of a Pty with the aim of getting into the IT reselling game. I am looking for some pointers on getting dealer accounts and want to find out just how sticky these people are at giving terms to new resellers? Would they only operate on a Cod basis for the first few months?

From what I can gather, the most reliable wholesalers are:

Pinnacle Micro, Rectron, Frontosa, Axiz.

If you guys have any experiences with these or any other wholesalers I would really appreciate your advice.

PS: I am operating in the Western Cape.

It is so over traded the suppliers are having to sell to the end user. PCINT i believe started it. They started selling dealer pricing to end user. Esquire knows they can only compete by doing the same.

The suppliers are screwing people who want to get in by selling direct but pcint must be gobbling up the jhb business so either you stick to your principles or you do what needs to be done.

If the IT resller can sell to corporates may be they can make money.
