Yeah, they totally sell new parts. I'm not sure what you mean by wholesale, when I think wholesale, I think bulk. I bought a bunch of OEM hard drives and optical drives from Computer Heaven a few months ago. Their main business is repair service, but I was impressed by their selection of parts, stuff I could definitely use in a pinch: ATX power supply cable adapters/extenders, a huge selection of cables of various length and gender combinations, VGA, DVI, USB, etc. CMOS batteries, toolkits, yada yada.
And since I thought "wholesale" was ambiguous, I'll go ahead and say that by "OEM," I mean a new drive in an antistatic bag with no other packaging. But Formosa's worth a shot as well.
