| 591852 | 2007-09-17 01:12:00 | Hi there, I own a small computer business in Tauranga, Dealing mainly with Custom Pc's parts servicing etc . Wouldn't mind expanding into the gaming area also, since high performance pc's go hand in hand with games . Could any one point me in the direction of a Game dealership account, getting wholesale PC games etc . Any one know any more wholesale Part Dealers also, its good to have a variety of parts with variety of prices etc . Cheers guys, any help would be great :D ! |

Software, The price drops on games come hard and fast and the buy price is high, Stocking them is a good way to be stuck with crap you can't sell. The times I looked at it the supply cost was going to be within a dollar or two of what the bigger sellers were retailing them for, and within a month they would have dropped their shelf prices. |

| 591854 | 2007-09-17 01:21:00 | Its a bad idea you know. Its worse than selling parts. I worked for PC Game NZ for a while. He had a hell of a job making a profit out of it. Some he got locally and some direct from overseas. They last 5 minutes and then no-one wants them and with the likes of Gameplanet here and places like Zest its too easy to order online from them. Who are the cheapest. But as I remember EA had a division in NZ, can't remember who else there was - search UBD. |

| 591855 | 2007-09-19 13:30:00 | yeah i see your point, but ive been picking up a lot of business with young people wanting games coming with machines, and i could order in games with machines so effectively they get a package deal, i dont make my money selling parts, most of my money is on installation, i want to be able to having gaming there, as to attract more business, cause im aware there will be little profit . i can get a few wholesale games e . g . the newest version of hitman contracts, new costs me a little under 4 dollars :) which retails at some thing hurrendous, but i wouldnt mind a larger variety of games atm . If anyone knows of how to get game Dealership accouts, where i deal with the manufacturer please let me know . Maybe some contact in EA, Blizzard would be good thought this place might be a good place to put the word out, if not dont worry ill get in touch with the individual companies . Cheers |

| 591856 | 2007-09-19 19:30:00 | ive been picking up a lot of business with young people wanting games coming with machines Really? I've never had a gamer expect games to come bundled. The Graphics card usually does if its at the high end, which it should be if its any use for gaming. Most of them already have or are about to purchase their games elsewhere. I'd tell you but I can't remember...........UBD should have a listing. |

| 591857 | 2007-09-20 01:01:00 | yeah, thats what i originally thought, maybe its the idea of a game bundle with a fresh new machine, thats probably the only reason i could think of why they wouldnt just goto gamesman or trademe etc. who knows lol lol maybe they got sick of downloading the games and having to track down serial numbers just so they can play online sweet thanks for that info |
