Gem Distribution

Gem Was established in 1984 and recent success’ have bought them distribution right for xbox 360 and NCsoft games, And they are the UK leading distributors for Microsoft and Logitech and have an annual turnover of of over £250 million.

Gem Distribution supplies big companies like play.com and many other high street names aswell as mail order catalogues and smaller stores.

Many new e-tailers (and when i say new e-tailers i mean people who want to sell on eBay) start off by looking for products to sell and with no knowlage of the market pick xbox 360′s, they’re popular and not many people have them on eBay, eventually the find out gem distribution is the UK biggest distributor and sell wholesale xbox 360′s so they they think they have hit gold.

Gem Distribution will not sell to anybody who sell’s primarily on auction sites, so if you want to buy some xbox 360′s and bang them on eBay you need to turn the other way, Gem Distribution will only supply to people who online stores or pysical shops.

So what are Gem Distribution’s prices like, no under our account we cannot disclose any of this information but lets just say unless you can sell at reatail price or unless you can afford to buy 100′s of units they won’t be for you. Even selling at full retail price you will only make about £10 for an Xbox, now this is fine to somebody like play.com who will sell 100 a day but on eBay? after fees on £159.99 and paypal fees you are in the red … BIG TIME!

F.A.Q’s

Will Gem Distribution give me a peek at prices before i have an account with them?
NO

Do I have to pay to open an account with Gem?
No

I have a online shop but fancy selling a few things on eBay, would they allow this?
Yes, their terms state that they will not supply to anybody primarily selling on auction sites, as long as you proove to them you have an online store, although as above selling on eBay would still leave you in the red.

What do i need to get an account with Gem Distribution?
Company Letterhead
Proof of Business
Online Web adress or Proof of pysical Store.

In conclusion … Gem Distribution don’t turn over £250m + a year for being a shambles and not supplying to anybody, if you can purchase in big quantities then you can make alot of money from Gem, if eBay is your only pitch then Gem Distribution isn’t for you.
