i think the best thing to do is place a listing of the products that you DO have - instead of what MIGHT be available with what the community is interested in ...
list what you have - and the community will be able to decide whether it is worth purchasing ...

Then his post would consist of nothing, his current stock is 0.
He's saying he's about to place a large bulk order for work and in doing so getting a pretty good discount. As part of that he's offering to pile on a few extra items for community members here to bandwagon onto his bulk discount saving us money and he gets to pay back his work and pocket a little extra himself.
'The negative side is that I can only handle a few different model (those my employer chose to buy), although many of each one.'
this is what im talking about ...
what he is saying is that his EMPLOYER is the decision maker AND that his EMPLOYER already has in mind what they are willing to bulk purchase ...
this means regardless of what we suggest - it will be the EMPLOYER that will have the list of products they choose to stock ...
hence - we need to know what they are ...
its a good thing for the public - and his own pocket - but we need to have an idea of WHAT they are stocking ... not what we would LIKE them to stock ...

"we need to know what they are ...", yeah, of course it would be better to offer a list of products, and I might be able to that - and even more ("give me a list of products on newegg and I'll check if I can get it all and to what discount")...
However, at the moment, all I know I'm getting great prices on the latest HDDs, GPUs and laptops. By the present thread I hopefully will get an idea of the interest. If two members want a couple of HDDs, I wont pursue with this as I will make more or less nothing on it. Would the interest be high, I can go to the next step and offer an order list. I can't buy 50 new MacBook Air and just hope they get sold.
Also, I probably used the term "employer" in the wrong way. It's me who choses which items will be ordered and how many, not my employer. I have been given a budget, but
I'm the sole decision maker on what is required to buy - and given the discounts I was able to get, I simply can buy more than needed without notice.
My employer is a very passive one, hence the beginning of this answer: It might get even better than what I can promise today if interest is evident.
So far no one has shown an interest to get new stuff with the discount I can offer, though, and then that's fine. However, now we have a discussion of how this thread was formulated, perhaps making interested members confused. I urge you to stop that. What I at the moment want an answer of is:
Item:
Grade of interest:
Number of items:Item refers to large HDDs (Seagate & WB), laptops (Apple & Asus/HP) and GPUs (nVidia 970-980ti & the newest AMDs). Please, use 1 to 3 grading, where 3 means you would definitely buy, 2 probably buy, 1 possible buy.
Thanks
