It's actually quite simple. We purchase wholesale and sell retail, like many, many other businesses.

In our shop, when I discover that a wholesaler is selling retail directly to the public, we stop dealing with them. They are literally removed from our purchasing system and their catalogs returned. That is because one, they are now my competitor; and two, I won't get the professional attention I need to have from my wholesale supplier. But mainly, I know that they have sacrificed their business model to make a quick buck.
