A question about wholesalers...

Lately I've gotten quite a few people in my local area interested in Supercards and DS homebrew in general. So much so that I've had about 5 people ask me if they can give me the money for me to order them a super card or an R4. This got me thinking, does anyone know where/how I could contact a supplier so I can try and get whole sale price? I know I'd have to order quite a few, but I figured after I sell the initial batch to my friends and people I know in the area I could sell off the rest on an auction site or create a little site to earn a little bit of extra off what I have remaining.

I'd be interested in supercard and R4 products primarily if anyone has an idea, I'd be interested in SD/MicroSDs for the cards as well.

I'm pretty sure you go to the R4 site and go for the email address labelled sales.

Using your damnable logic on me? You win this round Pharaoh... but we shall see who wins round 2!

<_< Feel kind of stupid now, going to the various websites I see all the different sections for sales. That's what I get for asking before looking.

Lol, happens to me all the time.  :)

If you ever get your scheme/Koji Store up and running with reasonable prices i'm sure i'll be in the market again down the road.
*Adam's Sell/Trade List*
GBMicro (U): 20th Ed. - 2GB Ultra MiniSD
NDSLite (U): Jet Black - M3 Simply w/ 1GB Sandisk
Wii (U): 2GB Sandisk (Wii Edition) + Wiikey SD/AR

SuperCardStore

All the cart makers sell direct - minimum order quantity is 50.
Add to that between $1 and $2 shipping per piece - they use Fedex/DHL type services and are not interested in lowering the shipping costs.
Then there is import tax to be paid.  This depends on the attitude of customs (there is a classification for each type of import with a tariff associated - SuperCards should be free of tax) and the value the supplier puts on the goods.

Even if the import is tax free, you will probably still need to pay tax and, if you are a registered business, you can re-claim that tax.

Hope this helps
