How to be a computer seller?

Do you want to sell it in online or offline?

Actually first I just want to sell privately. I do a lot of selling in my local area private sales and it's nice! If I could get my hands on some good PC parts like drives and memory sticks, cpus for discounted prices I could just sell them locally in private sales for decent profit.

Preferably offline in person but online is acceptable too

What’s wrong with registering a business? You are doing legit work, keep all the paperwork ready and register your business first, then approach the suppliers.

Do you have to meet any requirements to get a registered business license? I mean, do you need to make X amount of sales per month or can I make $100 a month in sales and still be a registered business?

Its have a lot issues , I used to import from Singapore and sell it on Pakistan , when the trend was high , literally was into to much profit !

you can buy each part from wholesale market , get them assembled and sell it.

where are these wholesale markets for non-business registered people? I'd imagine they would only be permitting businesses to buy from them unless you mean Aliexpress and chinese merchants like that.

My folks used to run a convenience store. We used to go shopping at wholesalers (giant warehouses that sold stock/product/items from boxes) but only registered businesses could shop there and not just the public. It was a basically like a giant costco and you shop for whatever you want to sell in your store at marked up price.

I guess I'm thinking of that for computers but if it were that easy, I suppose everyone would just buy their computers and parts at the wholesalers themselves and not from a computer retailer / walmart / circuit city / best buy or whatever the computer store names are these days.

I also want to add the point I'm trying to get at is (without being offensive or rude I hope), these computer retailers basically don't do anything other than buy the stuff at a cheaper price and resell it for higher price. For computer technicians/repairs that's a different story and a legit skill and expertise that takes a lot of training and years of experience. But I mean just for stores that sell computers and parts .....what are they doing that the average joe blow couldn't do themselves? Nothing. They don't have any particular skills or talents that allow them to sell computers and make a living out of it and the rest of us can't? They don't make the computer parts, they do not engineer or program or manufacture or design etc. They just order parts for cheap and resell for profit in a bricks and mortar shop OR online computer store. That's what I want to do LOL. I realize I can say the same thing for just about any other product niche for example like shoe stores. All they do is order these nikes for cheaper price and resell it huge profits but they don't make the shoes, manufacture them or anything. Somehow the ones who are selling just have the inside info on where to buy it for cheap and resell for profits.

I have already been selling for years in a different niche where I just buy it for cheaper somewhere else and resell it for higher. But I want to do this in the computer niche.

You can check on ebay for cheaper ones
