About the author,
"I began working in the computer industry 15 years ago and learned a lot over the years. I opened my first computer consulting firm with a partner in 1989. It quickly grew to five employees before I decided to go out on my own. My next venture was equally successful. This is a very fast paced environment that is constantly changing. I helped three of my employees open their own computer related companies. Although not all the new companies were hardware related, they grew out of this solid foundation.
Due to a health problem I decided in 1998 to retire from the selling of hardware components. But I knew what I had learned could help others open there own business or simply save money on their purchases. I now concentrate on helping a few associates I've come to know and help new people I meet learn this fascinating business. I decided to create this honest, straight forward guide to accomplish these goals. It always surprised me how many people thought only huge discount stores could offer the best prices, yet I beat them most of the time using local and national suppliers.
I think anyone who is not afraid of their abilities and who likes to try something new can achieve success using what I've learned. I was not the most ambitious person in the world and I did reasonably well. I created this guide to help people get through the basic challenges of starting out. You can buy wholesale and you can do it easily. It takes the right contacts and know how to do it properly. I trust I can guide you along the way. Already by offering this information, I have made new friends and acquaintances I would have never met. And they are learning a business that is rewarding and fun. And I believe that's what business is all about."

The site is going through some minor updates. If a link does not work, please try again a little later.
Please note the e-mail address has been updated. Due to a spam attack, caused by spiders that steal one's e-mail address, my Outlook Express became corrupted.
I do apologize as several contact e-mail were lost, and also some e-mail that was sent to me. I have set up a new permanent e-mail address that will open a your e-mail program to send e-mail.50 Professional web templates have been uploaded. These will help with your own web site design. Please note that for some of the templates Adobe Photoshop is required or a program that can work with such files.
You might wonder why templates? One of the keys in starting a computer business is offering great service and closing sales. For example, if you have a client who wishes to purchase a computer to make their own web site for whatever reasons, you can offer them royalty free web templates, helping you close a potential sale.
I have used this technique with much success in the past. It is one of those things that works. Remember, many people sell computer hardware. One of the huge advantages you have over a super store is they cannot offer many products or services a small entrepreneur can. Use this to your advantage at every opportunity
The following templates are being sold as high as $99 each elsewhere.
Yours free with membership! Please note this is a limited time offer.

I am doing a major site upgrade over the next few months to make the site easier to navigate and to add more content, such as web templates to help you build your own commerce sites. Although they won't be fully featured, they should be fairly easy to use web templates. Current members will have access to these.
Also note the checking interface for online payment did not work well and has been removed. Should you require another method to purchase the guide, please feel free to contact me.
The UK section has recently been updated. Now, you can find several new

I've assembled the best of these companies, so you can get started right

it's simply not true. (Some claim there are thousands!).
I have researched and found the top companies in the field, to get you
selling as quickly as possible. No sub-wholesalers who waste your time
trying to cut into your profits.
Some of these companies offer manufacturer rebates only available
to resellers. This alone can pay for the guide and your start-up costs!
