Hey Rich....
how do third party sites offer such huge discounts on phones (i.e. wirefly)...just wondering how they cover the rebates they offer and how they make profit...
...
Most are offered an activation bounty of X dollars per rate plan and features... Most often the third parties will sacrifice the cost on a phone to get the activation bounty. If you are referring to the websites...well....that's e-commerce: so salespeople to pay, no storefront to maintain, no utility payments.....you get the idea.
It's all a balance of cost-profit ratios at work. Most are not referbished or "factory rejects," as most states require this to be advertised if they are. They are bought at wholesale prices from different vendors and what not. Fun game to try to play though!

Simple - they apply their commission directly to the discounts and rebates. As an online business, their costs are much lower, so they don't need to keep as much of commissions to be profitable.

Precisely! The Wireless Oracle has spoken. 😛
