So far I think eBuyer is probably the cheapest site I've come across for most computer bits and pieces, I need to open up some trade accounts with a few suppliers so I was wondering if anyone knew of any companies that had prices similar to eBuyer?
eBuyer don't actually offer any trade prices apparently, not unless you are buying in massive bulk quantities.
Got a VAT number etc. so that ain't a problem for certain companies that won't deal with people unless they are registered.

Funny you should mention them adiohead, I sent them across an application form this morning 
I spoke to them on the phone yesterday, the guy I spoke to told me their trade prices are cheaper than what's on the website but wouldn't say how much.

I have a feeling I won't be buying stuff from them now. Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. 
I'm sure they are fine if you are buying off their website and don't actually need to talk to a human.

I only really use eBuyer, always seem cheap enough.
Have a look at the geek shop sticky, could even help Ian line his pockets (support the site) then too

I have a trade account with CCL. Mainly order stuff through there, they're not the cheapest (by the matter of pence), but I use them due to the fact they're quite a big operation / used to actually go into the shop in Bradford. Havn't ordered much with them for a while.
For small things, I get from China now.

They were called ccl-computers years ago, started using them then, probably around 2002.
