I have been selling computers for about 3 years now. Many of the newer ones I have sold were refurbished from Dell. It was the only way to compete with stores like Wal-Mart and Best Buy. Offering a name brand computer at a low price, I could compete with stores like Wal-Mart and Best Buy.
All of a sudden I quit getting tax free status, and then I was told I had to become a Partner and join this partner channel to resell for Dell and keep my tax free status.
Come to find out, by joining this Channel, I agree not to sell on the home user level and only to small business.
Dell will no longer allow me to sell on the retail level. Now! Only big companies like Wal-Mart or Best Buy can sell to home users.
I make a living servicing the home user and I have now been cut off from being able to resell to home users.
Dell is forcing small businesses out of business while catering to big the companies.
You would think, given the shape the economy is in, Dell would welcome the extra sales.
