Real distributor of factory unlocked iphones

Hi, So I posted in another forum something similar to what I am asking here. I am posting this as a thread as I would like it to get more recognition in the hopes that someone who actually knows a supplier will contact me. I have a supplier but they cannot meet my companies demands fully so I am looking for a supplier to subsidize what they cannot do. We do not have a ceiling so we can purchase as many units as any company(s) can supply. However please be advised that the legal retail value of a 3GS 32gb iphone is $699. We are looking to purchase both the 3g and 3gs in all sizes and can do no less than 100 units at a time. We can do easily 5,000 units a day so you need not worry if you think we cannot handle purchasing every unit anyone can supply. We will sign a contract to purchase for the next 2 years all phones that whoever we sign a contract with can supply us with. Apple sells the 3gs 32gb iphone factory unlocked at $675 per unit if you purchase one. Now the price goes down from there so please be advised that if you try to charge us $750 per unit for the 32gb we will not bite. We don't mind working with brokers but we will pay only a max of $5 per unit. Also we do need to be able to talk to the company that purchases from the distributor/closest person to Apple as if we do a broker chain everything gets muddled and nothing happens.

So if you know a supplier or distributor and can put us in contact with someone who can supply us with at least 100 units please contact me. Also there are zero factory unlocked units that are US spec so please only contact me if you have real phones to sell.

Have you tried contacting Apple directly? Seems like they would put you in touch with the right supplier if it is not them.

The thing is I am a US based company so Apple won't give me that information as they can't due to their agreement with ATT. That is why it is hard to find another supplier for me. If you know of a way to do it and wish to be compensated please let me know. I am looking into all avenue's right now to find a supplier.

Ethan,
i can probably get 30 pcs every 2-3 days, but the best price i can give is :
Apple iPhone 3GS 32GB Black Never Locked $928
Apple iPhone 3GS 32GB White Never Locked $925
The demans is pretty big and it's really hard to get them nowadays.

You need a real brick and mortar storefront to buy iphones at wholesale prices. Apple will not deal with you if you only have an online store.

Apple's distributors will not deal with you either, not unless you have a real storefront.

Your only alternative to that would be to buy from a middleman and pay more and sell less units. In the long run you will hurt your profit margin - to - time put in to the project, ratio.

Bottom line, find something new to sell, unless you plan on opening a real brick and mortar storefront.
