Hey all I need ideas on how to get a discounted price for at least 50, or more, Ipods. Please help with your input.

 

If you want to become a reseller, I would suggest contacting Apple and filing to become a reseller. For the most part, this requires that you have a brick and mortar location/store to sell these at. I don't think electronics companies are still authorizing "online" sellers anymore.

If u dont like that route, you can also look for ipod sellers on ebay and buy wholesale from them - if they give you a discount.

hope this helps,

No we were going to give them to our customers that buy the Ipod upgrade for their scions.

 

sweet!!!

 

have you considered apple.com? Right now you can get free engraving..... the $199 Nano 2GB is a great gift BTW!!!

 

Now THAT is a good dealership.
That's really awesome man, great idea.
You'll get a lot of customer loylaty by doing that.

 

Well thats good but apple isn't going to give me a discount. Thanks for the idea though.

Anyone else???

Try the Wholesale Lots on ebay.

Thanks but thats full price. My boss would be ticked.

 

4GB black iPod nanos are awesome.
i'm listening to mine now
so what if im at work!?!!11

 

Have you tried calling apple or a seller of ipods directly? If you explain to them what you are doing, i'm pretty confident you could get a decent discount. Probably something like 20-30% off final pricing.

 

Yep, I tried. The only way is to become a reseller - with this we would be a store. One of the requirements was we would have to purchase $100,000 worth of merchandise per year.

 

Hit up a smaller store in your area (something locally owned, not Target or Wal-Mart or Best Buy). Possibly one that you would consider advertising for in your Scion showroom. Give them a small consideration (think about displaying some of their other car-related products like hands-free phone things or whatever in your display case with a sign that says "these products available at XYZ Electronics on Grand Ave. 555-5555"), and they should be able to give you some kind of consideration.

Good thought, Thanks.

 

What kind of Ipods do you need. What color, Same Model ? and how many more then 50 ?

I can offer a decently discounted price. Just need more information. The more money you spend, the more I can discount. If you can give me an exact scenario I can have a quote for you.

 

I work at a Fred Meyer ( kind of like a upscale super Wal-Mart).... We sell the 2GB nano's for $199, they cost the store $187 each. My point being is that you probably wont find them cheap anywhere...

 

That's awesome, I wished more dealerships were like yours. You can buy iPods through the "Apple Student" website and get 20% off, that's what I did. 4GB Black Nano for $220 shipped + engraving.

 

apparently Ipods are price protected, and you have to meet some very strict guidelines for apple to even consider letting you sell thier products.......sounds weird. Ebay usually has some guy trying to sell large lots of Ipods.......

 

Try Costco!
