    Hello Michael and who are you? 

    It's a good thing you didn't post this message on rec.crafts.jewelry
    because I know a couple posters on that forum who'd be all over you
    for that bright idea.  Excuse me for being candid to the point of
    blunt, but what you are suggesting is illegal, I think, and
    unethical, I'm certain.  One of the realities of being in business is
    that the public is free to try and get a better price on your product
    if anyone else has the right to market it.  If you have a problem
    competing with the manufacturer in the retail market, then you
    shouldn't be doing business with someone who doesn't honor your right
    to expect not to have your vendor wholesale to the public.  You need
    to learn more about the legalities of retail, as well as the ethics
    of doing business in this country, before you end up in court with
    someone suing the pants off you.
