DJ equipment is first purchased by wholesalers in bulk quantities from the manufacturers themselves. This equipment includes decks, CD players, VCD players, DVD players, MP3 players, sound mixers, equalizers, speakers, headphones, etc. Wholesalers buy the equipments from the manufacturers at wholesale rates. Wholesale rates are a little above the manufacturing costs; the additional amount paid by the wholesalers constitutes the profit of the manufacturer.
Wholesalers generally sell the equipment to distributors and retailers at higher prices. They in turn sell equipments to the customers. Thus, the wholesalers are an important intermediary link in the entire distribution process. The prices at which wholesalers purchase their equipment are much lower than their MRPs when they are available in the markets. Hence, buying DJ equipment from the wholesaler always brings a tidy reduction to the buyer.
But it is not easy to contact wholesalers. Wholesalers do not advertise themselves as they are bound to sell equipment to the retailers. Even if a buyer approaches a wholesaler, there are chances that they will be refused. However, wholesalers may sell a few pieces of equipment by charging a little more than what the retailer would offer. Yet, that would be less than the MRP. Hence, buyers of DJ equipment still save a tidy sum if they buy from the wholesalers at higher than the retail price.
Wholesalers stock their equipment in storehouses until they are sold. Most of the equipment is not yet in the final packaging; this may be a drawback for people buying DJ equipment. Also wholesale equipment would not have dealer’s stamps on their warranties. Wholesalers would also not handle transportation of the equipment.
Wholesalers shirk selling individual pieces of equipment. The correct way to approach a wholesaler is as a professional rather than an amateur. It pays to ask for the equipment with their correct specifications and brand names. It is also advisable to purchase equipment in bulk rather than singly. Sometimes a few DJs combine and purchase a bulk lot from the wholesalers at lower prices; which proves beneficial to all involved.
