Yo folks,

Anyone build PCs for resale? I need to get a couple but have the potential to sell more than just "a few" - just in case.

It'd also be nice if it was someone local I could work with...

Any suggestions?

Are you talking about gaming pc's or just regular home/office pc's?

Just regular; warranties, etc. are good as well...

he does warranty them.

If this is for a business, go with dell. Save yourself a ton of wasted time and warranty headaches.

Yeah, I'd go with a company like dell, IBM, or hp for a buisness... The tools and support they offer are much better than what most small time places can do.

Dell put me out of business in 2001.

PM ME, I have a reseller account with dell and they're about to upgrade it so i should get some nice deals

4/4/2006 11:25:53 AM

^ Yea, I've had a Solutions Direct Provider account with them for years now, but you get better deals from slickdeals, kinda sucks

4/4/2006 12:40:56 PM

SlickDeals > all

4/4/2006 12:47:38 PM

yeah the best slickdeals beat the best dell reseller deals
but the reseller deal is consistently good and sometimes great

Slickdeals is good....BUT..I'd need something consistent. Just in case I do indeed get a few customers. Besides all that, I need to be able to advertise something consistent...even if I never sell them.

well even with a reseller account, prices fluctuate weekly if not daily. Telling someone you can give them x computers for y price is only going to be valid for a week or two at the most with any decent company.

And any company is going to realize this is the case, so don't worry too much about having a consistent price structure.

Understood; I wouldn't expect to have the lowest prices the way I'm going about it anyway, so there will be some room for modification.
