Hi everyone, I just joined! This is a great site, and I hope we can do some good business together!

I've been selling online mostly through my site ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members**. Have sold on eBay in the past as well, but now there's just too much competition.

Anyway, that's enough about me, please find below my offer.

BRAND NEW - Apple iPod - Nanos and Videos - MOQ 10 - Any colour split
Orders under 100 units shipped from UK
Orders over 100 units shipped from USA or UK, depending on where you are.

The supplier's MOQ is 100 units altogether. My MOQ is 10 units of each model.
If I don't receive enough orders to fulfil the supplier's MOQ, the deal cannot go through, and everyone will be refunded the total invoice value.
EDIT: Update for everyone ...current order stands as follows:
Confirmed Orders (payment cleared): 70 units
Unconfirmed Orders (awaiting payment): 80 units
Orders of 100 units or over will be catered for immediately.
I am paying the supplier through ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** so there is no way your money will be "lost".

Collection
You are welcome to come down to our warehouse and collect the goods, as long as the payment is sent for me to send to the supplier beforehand. In this case, delivery charges do not apply.
This is preferred, as it saves time and money.

Payment methods
Bank transfer (to Natwest account)
Cheque
Cash in registered post.
Currently working on getting a CC merchant account set up :lol:

I can't accept anymore PayPal payments. If I did, then, my account would be frozen.
Payment must be made within 5 business days of filling the order form in; or your order will be cancelled!

Please don't send me PMs asking for alternative payment methods such as "cash on collection" or "escrow.com". These are simply not possible for the reasons outline above.

Please fill out the iPod order form on my website here:

Hi guys,

I live in the UK not far from ara-uk and have spoken to him over the phone.

He is very genuine, and actually said that I should wait until he has Credit Card facilities before ordering with him which I thought was not the action of someone who is out to do people over.

I have also checked his company name on the UK Companies House website (ie the Government register for limited companies) and it all checks out. He answered all my questions without giving me any reason to suspect a scripted set of responses etc. I have been in sales for 8yrs and in my opinion this guy is okay.

Of course always proceed with caution, but if he gets his Credit Card facility I will be the first to go to him (and will subsequently bring my feedback to the forum)

Sincerely,

easyg

Thanks for the comments easyg.

Like I said over the phone, credit card payments, should be available within the next couple of months.

[easyg]

E-mail me on ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** as soon as you get the Credit Card facility - I will take alot, and continue to do so long term if all turns out well on the first shipment.

Speak soon, take it easy,

The prices for 100+ are good but the rest are too close to the selling prices on ebay. Not much profit margin.

There isn't a huge margin in consumer electronics; it's all about volume. If you can make even $5 per unit and you're selling 100 per month, that's a pretty good chunk for not a whole lot of work. Also, if you're only selling on eBay you're really limiting yourself.

People have to understand that if you want to sell on eBay, don't sell iPods...find something else to sell!
It's not that easy to make money!

I'm looking to purchase 50 4GB black Nanos but don't want to wait on production or worry about Customs fees if I import. I've spoken with Ara-UK and he says he has physical stock on-hand at his distributor on the US east coast and can ship immediately. Only problem is that he requires a MOQ of 100 to have them shipped domestically.

Let me know if there is interest in pooling funds from others in the US. You would have to wire the funds to my US bank account, but I assure you I'm not going anywhere. Cost per unit is $183 for the black 4GB Nano. The extra $1 covers the shipping from me to you.

Ara-UK has assured me that these units are 100% geniune with Apple accessories and the Apple international 1-year warranty. These are the same units you would buy at Best Buy.

Post here or send me a PM if you are interested. Ideally someone will step up and claim all 50, but I'm open to requests for as little as 10 units. No payment will be requested until we have a committment for all 50 units.

[GoHogsAR]

Ara-UK wanted to make it clear that these were available as of Friday afternoon, but of course that is subject to change. Once I have a commitment for the other 50 units, I will check availability, and he's still instock then we'll proceed from there.
