[plug] Prices

[Shannon Carver]

DMA requires an initial garuantee of $20k in the first year or something
I believe, I don't think it used to be this way previously.  There are a
few other guys around the place.  Zeus in West Perth, and RTV in East
Perth, easy to get accounts with, but I believe they're buying and
reselling from DMA anyway.

We use EDSys (just down the road from DMA in Osbourne Park), primarily
in Perth, but bulk networking orders come from Lan1, Eastern States
company with a local office.  And we've just opened an account recently
with Omega, who seem to be quite large, and were recommended to us by
Ingram Micro (formerly Tech Pacific, well made up from Tech Pacific), as
we couldn't satisfy their signup requirements.  There's no way in hell
we can consistently purchase $xx,000 of hardware for that :P

Hope that helps

Shannon

Are you talking computer hardware wholesalers?

The only one I know of that has monthly quotas is Tech Pacific.
The rest like DMA, Legend, IT Wholesale, Softline, Anyware etc aren't to
fussed. 

With Achieva you need to spend $2g to open your account but I believe
there's no quotas after that.
