There are several companies with the same or similar names, but I think the one you're referring to has an address in Detroit which is decribed thus if you look on Google

Zestimate®: $147,000

Bedrooms: --
Bathrooms: 2.5
Sqft: 1,911
Lot size: 8,276 sq ft / 0.19 acres
Property type: Single Family
Year built: 1936
Parking type: Garage - Detached
Cooling system: Central
Heating system: Forced air
Fireplace: Yes
Description
This is a 1911 square foot, 2.5 bathroom, single family home. This home is in the Detroit City School District. The nearest schools are Edison Elementary School, Cerveny Middle School and Communication And Media Arts Hs.


The address is clearly residential and doesn't fit with the company name, but perhaps someone is operating as a sole trader from home and seeking to project a corporate image which might be a sign to proceed with caution.

They are located in Ann arbor Michigan I believe. The contact person I have been talking to said that I can arrange to go and look at the products... Do only legit companies do this?

The Ann Arbor address appears to be a hotel suite, perhaps long stay.

All I'm saying is that 'Industries LLC' suggests a large set up, but if they're operating out of a hotel suite - clearly not

we are distributors of Coby electronics. mobile phones, lcd tvs mp3 players,digital cameras, headphones, dvd players ect.


'etc.' perhaps. :wink:

Warehouse perhaps ?

From previous enquiries you've made harvestreading it appears that you're looking for these risky trades and hoping to turn a profit on them, but you're going to come across a high proportion of duds operating this way or something worse.

Business deals in hotel rooms are risky and if there's a comeback, you may be left high and dry.

Okay thanks. Do you know of any reliable suppliers? I have been looking so long!

I'm sure that there are plenty of reputable companies you can select and, of course, the drawback is the cost but if you're going to look on the 'wild side' for bargains you're better off using personal recommendations from people you trust to find bagain deals.

There isn't a lot of scope for purchasing major brand electronics goods below recommended retail price otherwise others would be doing it.
