Hi, I have been looking for a supplier for books and dvd movies, all the suppliers i've seen so far are middlemen just selling at retail price, some even more than retail. I'm looking to start off with drop shipping first and than move on to bulk after a while. I want a supplier who sells good name brand books to not just the vintage ones, books like, Harry Potter and For Dummies, and i want a supplier who sells good movies too like new releases, and other good movies like, Watchmen and The Hangover, Priest, Harry Potter, Your Highness, movies like that, not just the old 1970's ones. I would appreciate it if someone could give me some advice and recommendations on this, even pm me.

Thank you.

Also i know things like original iphones are hard to get unless you order at least 100k worth directly from Apple and the chances of finding a legit one is probably like 1/100 for everyone you see. Does anyone know a legit place they know to get iphones dropshipped from experience, again i would want to start that way and then bulk later on. I know if you find one for 2-300 it is not original, but what about 4-500, i saw a couple; one for 450 and the other for 540. I also know there are wholesalers who order very large volume form Apple and then sell them wholesale, it's just so hard to find them, but i know there out there. Again any help for the books, dvd movies and iphones will be appreciated.

Thank you.

I doubt there are any companies selling DVDs and books for "more than retail." If by "retail" you mean the prices you see at Amazon, Buy.com and similar places, you have to bear in mind that all of those major retailers tend to sell well below retail -- yet wholesale prices on books tend to run around 55%+shipping, and on DVD new releases even more. I'm not saying there aren't a lot of crap suppliers out there; just cautioning that when it comes to books, video games and media the margins are actually pretty terrible, and you're competing with not only the biggest companies in retail but a massive used market on eBay and Half.com.

All that said, books and DVDs try IngramBook.com and IngramEntertainment.com respectively. Both are major suppliers and will deal with anyone who meets some very basic seller thresholds.

PS. No help at all on iPhones, sorry. I will say that wholesalers do not buy from Apple then resell wholesale -- that is against Apple's trade policies, so anyone claiming to do it is either lying or backdooring Apple's terms of service (and therefore going to get shut out from being able to fulfill Apple orders soon.)
