Wholesale Video Games
Simply put, if you want to save money buying
or make a little money selling, the wholesale
video games market might just be the place for you. Over
the past couple of decades, the video games industry has
exploded with dozens of different types of games and the
electronics that make them work. Along with this growth in
new games and equipment, many enterprising individuals have
established themselves as distributors and resellers of games
to meet the demand.
Among the significant developments
in this field have been the online and printed guides that
provide a detailed look into the "back rooms" of the wholesale video games
trade. Video games retailers have generally enjoyed a huge
profit from selling the latest, hottest items. What this
brought was a whole other industry in the same hot games
but with the banner of "wholesale video games."
This means there are a couple of different paths in this
business. One of those, of course, is the established wholesale
video games field, in which manufacturer's and associated
distributors supply new games and electronics to retail stores
and authorized resellers. In most cases, these companies
have state sales tax information and business license information
on file, sending and receiving video games in wholesale volume.
As is the case with many industries, the real profit can
be with the original producer of the game and with the retail
shop in the mall or on the corner.
On some searches through the massive
amount of information about wholesale video games you will
find sites that are not filled with tips and tricks but
sites that are intended for more "traditional" commercial
businesses. It is on these sites and with these suppliers
that you will find good, low prices on Sony Playstation,
Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Gamecube and more.
The other path in the wholesale video
games trade is, in one sense, a battle to keep some of
the profits in the hands of the enthusiasts and end users.
So some companies have sprung up in recent years as independent
warehouses, distributors and brokers that search and research
to find sources for the best video games. They then offer
them at low prices, usually with no minimum requirements
or a very low first-order level. Tip: One of the keys to
marketing in this sector of the wholesale video games industry – RSS
feeds and blogs.
Some of the real experienced gamers and suppliers in the
wholesale video games industry are also warning about reselling
scams that promise you'll make thousands of dollars buying
and selling. But these operations often ask that you send
$10 or $20 to get started. Be careful when looking into the
wholesale video games business. Tip: Take your time when
making a decision about who to work with and where to start.
According to most reports, it is possible
to purchase new, still-wrapped games in larger amounts
for just a few pennies on the dollar. This discount can
be 60 percent to 90 percent of retail price. This often
puts wholesale video games cost lower than the wholesale
price paid by "authorized" resellers.
So the opportunity for fun and profit is certainly found
in the wholesale video games business.
