Many sites and resellers offer discounts for bulk buys nowadays - but in my honest opinion i think you're going about it the wrong way. My mate is a 'pc doctor' and he doesn't carry around RAM with him in case the customer has too little. Instead, he talks to them about it and then orders it as and when its needed, as its actually always likely to be a virus or walware causing the problem.
He says that 80% of the time its a virus, 5 % of the time incorrectly fitted hardware or drivers / conflicts, 5 % hardware failure (such as a disk drive failing).
Most of the time it comes down to advising the customer that they need more RAM and making a small profit for supplying and fitting it. It never fails to have the odd bit of kit handy for getting someone up and runing there and then - but 9 times out of ten you'll have to take the PC away for a closer look.

Keep an eye out for generic labeled stuff, actual shop names.
If ur order is going to be that high, actually email the retailer.
Ur not going to punish the ram, or seek to squeeze extra clocks out of it, or sell it as something it's not.
They'll mostly come from a company like Elpidya, just unbadged, unlabeled.
