While reading the article from Pascal's High Yard Fee thread, there was an advert for wholesale priced electronics. I finished the article and clicked on the ad and the prices were insanely low. The problem is you had to become one of their distributors to get the prices. I blew it off and filed in the too good to be true and probably a RPITA if it is true.

It got me to thinking though...

Has anyone ever gone this route or is it like an Amway for electronics

and .....How much markup is on a chartplotter. The prices on a Simrad NSS7 were $70 cheaper at this advert site than the GPS Store and both are making a profit. There are a bunch of them out there and all are touting the same thing. Become one of our distributors.....

In this day and age, I wonder why manufacturers aren't going direct to customer sales like SeaVee boats.
 
FWIW, I have access to wholesale accounts through business contacts with a couple of electronics distributors. Most of the time they have the best price but sometimes I can beat them on the Internet. They do have great close out or remanufactured prices though.
