    Default Wholesale Iphones? Anyone know?

    Hey guys, does anyone know if it is possible to buy Iphones in wholesale? For example if I wanted to buy 10 at once for a discounted wholesale price is that possible? Has anyone ever done this? Any information you can provide me would be great. Thanks!!!

    all Apple products are price fixed by Apple. There's no such thing as wholesale with them. Sorry.

    So it's not even possible to find another supplier who may have them available in larger quantities? I guess if I did they would charge almost as much as apple did though... shoot. I was really hoping to be able to buy some iphones in bulk! I figured there was some type of way because you see people on ebay selling 10 iphones at a time or more.

    Sure if you can become an authorized reseller for Apple. AT&T, Best Buy, and you

    Phones must be acquired one of two ways... purchased with a contract or directly from Apple unlocked. Both of these carry heavy price tags (after the cancellation fee, activation fee, first month of service plus taxes) so there's no way to buy "in bulk" as this is a device contingent upon a service contract or a $1000 price tag unlocked retail.

    Hmm well I am guessing it would be pretty difficult to become my own reseller for apple so looks like I am going to have to go another direction with this. I actually may know a guy who knows a guy who is a supplier so maybe I'll strike some luck haha. Thanks for your help guys!

    Shoot... that other guy didn't go through. I guess I am out of luck. I was hoping there was someone around this forum that had some type of supplier connection or anything! Guess I will have to keep looking.

    I found a company in the UK who had a company contract with O2 about a year ago. They bought 32 iPhones with their hardware tokens and where selling them. I got 26 of them at a slightly discounted rate and made quite allot of £££ out of them, but I was very lucky!

    So I take it you do not know of any current companies that I might have that luck with? I am looking to buy around 10, but am having no luck so far lol.
