Post: Buying appliances in bulk

This is for a four-unit - so I need four of everything.  I'm working this from my buddy, so this is probably a one-time buy.

Worth calling Home Depot or Lowes and asking for some sort of discount on four?

I need to buy four stainless steel ranges, microwaves, dishwashers and refrigerators.  Anyone have best practices on best place to buy 4 x everything?  I'm in DC area - sans counsel I'm going with Best Buy.

I'm working to define my business plan, and the more I learn and think about it, the more it appears to me that leveraging the practices of wholesalers (direct-mail, flyers, email) to strengthen the numbers of a buy-and-hold strategy makes sense. I recognize this wouldn't work if one were trying to buy one or two places, but if you're trying to buy a (relatively) larger number of units, does this not make sense? For those far more experienced than me: is it worth the time and effort this involves to make the savings, or are the deals wholesalers offer strong enough that it's worth it to just pay the premium?
