Quick summary: I'm getting a job at best buy, where the discount for an employee is company cost +5%. So basically, I'm looking for a website/etc that can give me basic prices that companies spend to buy things, especially computer related things... I'm trying to figure out if it would be cheaper to buy online, where you can get much better deals, or to buy at barely above company cost at the albiet more expensive best buy.

Nintendo has recently changed the name of its next generation console from the Nintendo "Revolution" to the Nintendo "Clit". The idea behind it, as Nintendo officials put it anonymously, was "wanting to bring dedicated gamers and the clit together in a way never before imagined possible".

At work our email addresses are first initial then surname, ie John Smith would be jsmith@work.com.au. One person, Craig Little, has the distinction of having 2 initials. He didn't ask for it. The IT administrator just gave it to him that way (so to speak).

I refuse to assist you in a plot to deny the rightful profits to the company that is kind enough to provide you with a pay check so you can feed, clothe, and shelter yourself. :eek: What are you, some kind of an ungrateful communist or something? :mad:

Actually, it's more of a capitalist thing; I'd totally go for the "better buy". *cheesy laugh*

I regularly purchase from Buy.Com. They seem to have the lowest prices w/o being hit by spam/sleeze/being taken advantage of.

It isn't wholesale, but it is w/o much overhead... not quite what you were looking for, but the best I know of.

I wasn't looking for wholesale to buy, I was simply wondering what the cost is, so I can know what kind of discounts I will be getting at best buy.
