Sourcing Suppliers

Starting an online computer hardware store - how to go about the suppliers

[vincevincevince]

We've been an IT firm for quite some time, but haven't been into the online sale of hardware before. We've run sites for people who are however, and we've now got staff and a great ecommerce system all set up ready to open.

The thing is, we don't have suppliers sorted out. We're based in the UK and from what I've managed to find so far, highstreet / other online retailers are cheaper than the wholesale offerings I've managed to find.

So - where does one look to find some good value suppliers?

(I believe it would be against the TOS for you to tell me the supplier name in the thread here - so if you've specifics for me please sticky them)

Mentioning the name of a supplier is not a violation of TOS (unless you're the supplier, or are affiliated with them, or it sounds like a sales pitch). Just don't link to them or post their URL/DN.
