Altech signs with XFX

what happened with EVGA Altech?

EVGA @ MMT

EVGA is now distributed by Multimedia Technology

Reseller - There goes my profit

I used to make money selling XFX cards, especially the overclocked cards. Now that Altech are distributing it, they'll give the product to every dealer at a cheap price, including online shops. I know for one, I'll stop buying XFX now.

EVGA?? @ MMT

LOL...........If MMT stock levels of EVGA is anything like their XFX then its no real gain for MMT.

Reseller - There goes my profit

Well you definitely won't see any help from Altech with that, especially with the amount of online stores they support

does xfx have stock anyway

stock has been a problem with xfx for a while, mmt always seem to be short on supply for XFX nvidia card, i doubt Altech will help much on that either. Well it just means I have choice to buy XFX when there is limited stoch. MMT warranty is easier to deal with. I'll buy from Altech if MMT doesnt have stock. Australia IT was a joke, they never had stock. Todaytech are just useless. 4 distributors for XFX seems a little extreme, I'd understand if it was just gigabyte or asus.

Stock levels at MMT seem much better than what Altech ever was. They got everything in stock except GTX285. If you're quick, they still might have some EVGA GTX295 left, I just picked mine up today.

That comment was in regards to samsung monitors which someone so nicely added before hand and i know they dont do EVGA anymore.

they cant sell enthusiast products ???

I said Im an enthusiast selling primarily to enthusiast....Laptops arent enthusiast products, I'll leave that to other resellers wanting to making 0.5% margin...Monitors I currently get from MMT, Synnex and Altech..depends who has the better price. CPUs at altech are usually cheaper than other disties so I know i can get good deals if I buy more stuff from the one place....Same as what MMT did for me when i bought more than 3-4 items at a time. As for silverstone being rubbish, well you are entitled to your own opinion. My customers love them and they are considered a niche product which may be out of your depth.

key laptop @ enthusiasts MSI GX series. What happened there

Bang for buck I must admit MSI GX series are good, but hardly a niche product...My customers tend to stay away from MSI due to their reputation with mobos, etc. Support is lot to be desired.

doesnt matter fellow reseller, Altech will always get another brand to price skim and we can still go for short term profit. Most company dealing with Altech will be familiar with the pattern

I wonder how many video cards Altech has ranged, it must be hard on managing them. Kudos to Altech!

Cheap XFX everyone can hold a sec

I can imagine XFX will be cheaper now on, everyone can buy cheap at anytime you want. It won't be too hard buy on-line, but it will be hard to hold on the price for second

MMT normally dont stock up any products. OR we they have more than 50 units on anythiong , they just sell $1 above cost and kill vendors and other distributors. AT the end no one wants to sell that brand because there is no money there.

I can't hold for a second if ALTECH gets XFX, my main profit comes from XFX VGA card. We enjoy nice margin from time to time, now I'm going to end up making $1 for each card I sold. Instead of having turkey this X'mas I'll be sitting home eating instant noodles

Second tier business is clearly more important - you can sell it easier to say "generic" compared to a brand.

so good to see altech employees replying. no commission again this month got you down?

altech are too busy selling

i got 5 of this special bundle i thought it was for me only he said today only for you

They did offered me the same bundle, very hard to resist as I save $5 per bundle. But what am I going to do with the PSU?

be careful , i doubt they will stay warm for long before exploding hard on
