It is a breaker. I see people reselling them for $30 so obviously they get them for less. How / where?

Generally to get wholesale prices, you need to buy in bulk.

You could also stop by your local electrical distributor and see if they have them cheaper.

It is possible that they get them from a liquidation sale where goods are sold for pennies on the dollar. Alternatively, the items may be refurbished or reconditioned items.

How do I buy in bulk and save? No one has any discount beyond a purchase of quantity 10.

There you go, Quantity of 10 gets you bulk pricing after the discount. . . . can you use 10 breakers right away? If not, pay retail for what you need and bank the rest…

I do recall Amazon offers some electronics in bulk that you can buy in singles. I bought a micro SD card USB adaptor for .35 cents not too long ago from there.

Googling around, I found a siemens wholesaler who has a $250 minimum.

You could also get a wholesale contract with siemens and buy bulk there…

@grumpyfish: Who is this wholesaler? $250 is nothing

These folks: http://www.icplus.net/index.aspx

But I’m not sure they have your part—might be able to special order it.

Thank you. I asked them for a price quote.
