I already did about a month ago.... i made up some bullshit, and requested to buy a sample to test it out... they are only interested if i would be purchasing in large quantities so they didnt even bother just selling me one...

Theres a bunch of importers in LA.... im going to see if i cant get one of them to get one for me...

Ebay is now flooded with about 3-4 vendors with them.

I'm going with a unit identical to the Smiley unit, but he doesn't want 160.00 usd to ship it!!!

Qxing Yayazou just returned my email about that. A $10K buy in gets us 400 MTC 120 combo units. :1

Re: stumbled across vendor where smiley tools buys his welders.
 
thats dirt cheap, thats 25 dollars a unit. if its 400 units

i think you mean 40 units? that would be a buy price of 250 from them, and you mark that up to what 599? and you just effectively doubled your money, and hell yeah youd sell every one in 2 weeks.

hmmmm


loan time??

Re: stumbled across vendor where smiley tools buys his welders.
 
i really am curious as to what the minimum buy in would be.

Re: stumbled across vendor where smiley tools buys his welders.
 
Well, if you find a website that sells them, then drop them an email about it.

You also have no idea how much shipping costs from china to america.
When you order something like in large quantity like a bulk order from any chinese manufacture, the only way to get it over here is by cargo container via boat. That ship will only go to a california port though. So from there, you are stuck with transporting a 20 foot steel container to wherever you are. Unless you have some real financial backing and have plans to actually profit on the units, it's a waste of time to even think about it.

Re: stumbled across vendor where smiley tools buys his welders.
 
well if you lived in cali youd be tit.

im still curious, i bet they are selling those units for under 200 apiece from the factory.

I actually found that website 6 months ago the day before I bought mine from smiley tools. I searched for it just to find the country of origin.

first of all anything weighting alot or big you never get shipped to your house, a business will always be cheaper so it pays to know people, 2nd of all youd just pay a trucking company that hauls containers to do it. its not that complicated.

I don't know what you're talking about. I get 20 foot containers dropped off by USPS daily.

are you kidding? there are like 50 websites out there with chinese wholesalers. I found at least 8 people selling the same welder/plasma cutter just rebranded 20 times.
Good luck finding one that will only ship a few. A guy i talked to on ebay once said he had to buy a shipping container full of ---- at a time; dunno if there is any truth in that statement but still.

Chinese knock off ---- is out there and easy as pie to find but harder to get.

Re: stumbled across vendor where smiley tools buys his welders.
 
Most oversea's companies want a $10K order, even if your just buying go-peds. The only way I've ever come up with to get one at the super low chinese price is to catch them at a trade show and buy their display so they don't have to ship it back after the show.

Good luck finding that $10k to spend on chinese welders so you can battle the other 53,234 resalers on ebay/internet.
