    Gerry, you've succinctly summed up what wholesale means. But terms
    of business have changed and the internet has speeded up those
    changes. Certain ethical considerations and courtesies that went
    along with wholesale sales have largely disappeared.  Many are in it
    for the short term gain and will sell to anyone who has the purchase
    price. Wholesale used to denote a certain relationship between
    seller and buyer.  I buy wholesale gems from a dealer who also will
    sell to my customers.  This is what I would consider unethical. But
    rather than dwell on what used to be we must deal with the present
    reality.
