Like old video game stores like DK Oldies and all these people that advertise the latest iPhone 14 Pro or the 13 for like 1/4 of the price

Mostly online. Like scouring ebay and other 2nd hand markets. Some shops buy from customers, I know there’s a chain in Japan that buys from people bringing stuff in, but they’ve got a huge stock.
New tech thats cheap is harder to pin down. Depending on the shop, could be a bunch of things going on. They can buy broken items and repair them, or buy bulk amounts of returned items, and make a saving on them. Or buy them from countries where they cost less to begin with
