Video Game System Distributors

[polycow]

Planning to open a store in the spring, possibly early summer. Last monday, I went to my local best buy, and waited 12 hours in line for Xbox 360, which i turned around on ebay for a nice profit. There were at least 200 people in line. I know that best buy doesn't profit from game console sales, I used to work for them, but they make a killing on accessories! When I open my store, I am considering selling gaming systems and accessories, maybe.

Wondering if anyone else is?

or

Does anyone know any distributors or manufactors that I can order consoles and accessories from?

Thanks,
PolyCow

if its like in canada, you can order consoles, games and accesories, from your distributor, but in my experiences, selling games and console is a no-no and they dont generate, or little profit, are non-returnable and are usually cheaper in other retail chains, accessories is anoter story, stocking these is a must as they have a huge margin, hope that helps

A while back I got a huge binder from a company called Electro Source that offered everything from consoles to accessories.  The website address is:

Hope this helps.

you cant do it.  Well I should say I checked into xbox they laughed at me and said we only allow the big boys to touch our stuff period.  they said you can sell the accesories but no systems.
