I think this person should try organising a bulk buy themselves first!

The sheer popularity of these bulk buys show that people (us) want
the toys. Nearly *250* Fujitsu tablets were ordered as an example,
some 40-odd Rio's perhaps, no idea how many memory sticks and
stylii for the Fujitsu's, umpteen accesspoints/wireless LAN cards
(pictures exist to demonstrate the sheer quantity).

If somebody puts in the time to organise something to get things
that are wanted, I have absolutely no problem with a profit being
made to cover their time & effort - as lots is put in negoitating,
organising, handling funds, packaging etc.

If there are savings to be made, bulk buys make sense. Somebody
has to organise it. Time isn't free.
