Wholesalers v Retailers

[slippy]

The internet is a wonderful place where you can buy almost anything. Some wholesalers are getting in on the act and selling their items direct.

My Question:- Should wholesalers be allowed to sell direct to the public?

 

 

The more people vote on this the better.

Should wholesalers be aloud

 

I think most wholesalers are generally quiet

[kobblers]

depends what they're selling

 

if they're suffering a downturn in their trading then perhaps it would be better for all of us if they sold goods to the public to keep themselves afloat.

As one of the largest trophy wholesalers,we at Glenway beleive that, our job is to supply retail shops.The retail shops finish our product and sell to the end user.Simple as that

Hi Tim,

 

Nice to see you on here.

 

Stick to what you are good at. If you try to sell to the public you will only hurt your customers which isn't clever.

No, wholesalers should stick to trade sales only. In fact, I think they should push any potential sales they get on their sites to resellers they know in the area that they deal with.

it's quite a tricky one.

the wholesaler has spent a lot of time and money making the site to increase there businesses, (i am in process of doing a site for myself) and if jo public in bonny scotland see's a product on the net that he cant get locally - then why not?

the internet has a thing called ebay and everyone is selling on there,

i have a wholesaler who sells me walking sticks (cheaper than all our shoe wholesalers) who sells them on the internet as well as to me, but he sells them for more than anyone can buy them from me -
