Chris J asked:


We’re told it’s better for the environment if we switch TVs, DVD players, Hi-Fi systems etc off at the plug socket rather than setting them to standby. Can doing this (perhaps several times a day) damage the electrical components inside them?

I am NOT interested in big ticket or bulky consumer goods like TV, DVD Recorder, high-end HiFi etc, but I’m looking something unsual and uncommon like Two-Way Radio, transmitter, electronic thermometer, battery chargers, LED torches, computer parts, and electronic components etc. Some second hand goods would be nice too.

If you know a district called Sham Shui Po in Hong Kong, you know exactly that I mean!

Thanks in advance!

Roupen N asked:


I’m looking for sources of close-outs and excess inventory liquidations of consumer electronics goods in the U.S. In particular, looking for sources that move top tier and second tier consumer electronic brands in lots (few hundred, low thousands). Basically, I’m looking for sources that supply the likes of woot.com B-).

I’d like to understand how this part of the supply chain works; who these suppliers are; and what typical business terms are.

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
I can google and find things like liquidation.com ;-) What I am looking for is a contact at the WHOLESALE level.
