<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1976518, member: 26302"]I disagree sir. My company manufactures food. If you walk in off the street and ask to buy a small amount of one product, we will not sell to you.

Because you are not a wholesale customer, we cannot build a business selling to you, the quantity you buy is insignificant to us. </p><p><br /></p><p>Same with coin dealers. I know many coin dealers who buy and sell tens of thousands each and every year to some other dealers, the other dealer reciprocates and they pay each other quickly. THOSE are the relationships that merit wholesale pricing. A retail purchaser picking and choosing through inventory to buy one coin at a time whenever the collector feels like spending money......that is a retail transaction. The dealer spends an awful lot of money carrying inventory for you to peruse though, going to shows to make it convenient for YOU to see him, etc etc. A collector does not DESERVE the wholesale price, since he is not providing the sales format of a wholesale customer. You are saying you want retail service but wholesale pricing. If you asked me to sell you at wholesale a small, retail quantity of what we make I will boot you to the door and ask you to never return.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
