can apple sue me if I sold ipod nanos for $230? - GoFuckYourself.com

pood · 10-20-2005, 12:37 AM

I'm getting shipments of ipod nanos in a couple weeks...do you guys think apple will sue me if I sell them for $230 which is $20 under the MSRP?

could any company sue if I'm underselling everyone?

kenny · 10-20-2005, 12:40 AM

I see people do it all the time on ebay.

broke · 10-20-2005, 12:41 AM

Unless you signed an agreement that stipulates a minimum sale price, you could sell them at a loss if you so desired.

LiveDose · 10-20-2005, 12:41 AM

MSRP

Manufacturers SUGGESTED Retail Price...

pood · 10-20-2005, 12:43 AM

great.

I'm selling on ebay and off ebay..

I save about $10 if I sell it on my site.

So anyone want apple Nanos?

comes with 1-year apple certified warranty too.

For a low price of $230 + shipping.

Hopefully get them in by beginning of november

KMR Stitch · 10-20-2005, 12:43 AM

Yes you CAN.

When the Paintball gun "ION" came out it was not to be sold under 299.00 Those who did got there vendros licence taken and fines. But it also stated it wasn't to be sold under 299.00

So, Do whatever =)

You'll be going to jail, buddy.

detoxed · 10-20-2005, 02:31 AM

So why are you selling them at a loss?

Or how much are you paying?

Answer one of those please.

I'm not selling them at a loss or I wouldn't be selling them.

But the margins are getting smaller now htough.

2 weeks ago they went over $300 a pop on ebay because every single apple store sold out of them...including apple.com

gornyhuy · 10-20-2005, 11:56 AM

What kind of a discount are you getting buying in bulk/wholesale?

gangbangjoe · 10-20-2005, 11:57 AM

lol
they cant sue you even if you give them out for free

you bought them - you can do what you want with them

Young · 10-20-2005, 12:00 PM

Nano shortages were planned/faked....however you want to call it.

Get some IPod Videos then I'll take a couple off your hands.

I guess since I'm a small timer, it wouldn't matter too much

the reason I was asking the question was because I remember reading an article where stores were sueing another company because they were undercutting everyone and killing sales.

I'm not gonna tell you my wholesale costs :X

I will say though that if you get over 5000 units you can buy them for $135/unit. That'll give you guys an idea on how big Apples margin is...its probably a lot lower i bet

I will in a month I hope, but around that time the xbox 360s wil lbe out and I planning to get some of those...all depends on how much cash I got

Sparks · 10-20-2005, 12:10 PM

You can't get in trouble with a company for selling under cost unless there is something in your contract or agreement about it.

In 2001 we battled this out with Mattel. My argument was if Wal-Mart could sell under toys under cost why couldn't I? Mattel is run by a bunch of assholes, so that was a lose lose situation....

You should be fine though!

GigoloJustin · 10-20-2005, 12:11 PM

aren't they only 199.99 every where?

Markit · 10-20-2005, 12:12 PM

$199.99 is for the 2gb version
$249.99 is for the 4gb version

funny thing, the wholesale cost for the 2gb is only $10 cheapier than the 4gb

uno · 10-20-2005, 01:24 PM

These weren't the defective recalled units were they?

nope. even if they were defective apple will replace it for free.

EroticySteve · 10-20-2005, 01:42 PM

A retailer does often have contractual obligations to the manufacturer on how they can sell the items.

You see this often on electronics, particularly popular ones, however, this can border the line of price fixing.
