    If something is sold and sales tax is collected, it is sold retail.
    If it 	is sold without collecting sales tax, it is a wholesale sale,
    assuming the buyer has a legal resale licence. I have no idea what
    "below wholesale" means, unless you buy something from a 	dealer, and
    he sells the same thing to someone without a sales licence for less
    than what he sold it to you for, including sales tax. I have gone to
    gem shows and paid $60 for something, and found another dealer
    selling the exact same thing for $30. The $30 item was not below
    wholsale, it was that dealers wholesale price. If it was sold at a
    price below what you paid for it, it is a signal that you need a
    better source, you are buying small quantities and not getting price
    breaks, or you are not asking if they can do better. Always, always,
    always ask if they can do better. Or tell them what you have paid
    before, and can they match it.
