Selling PC's as a business

[RisingSun]

How many people here actually sell the PC's they build and do it as their primary career? How difficult is it to do this? How do you get wholesale prices on computer parts? Newegg must buy their products much cheaper than they sell them. How do you get the prices they pay? Comments? Links? Suggestions?

I do. I work at a small computer store. We don't build our computers unless, someone wants something custom made. We deal with a lot of off-lease computers from IT recycling companies because they're higher quality than consumer computers. We also take computers in trade and refurbish them. If they need a part, we look for it off another machine and if we don't have it, we order it off ebay or Newegg.

As far as the price for parts we pay, we buy all our stuff from Newegg. We also buy some new laptops and desktops from them as well.
