    Hi - I'm coming late into this conversation...  but I usually give
    the stores my wholesale price and they can do whatever they want
    from there.  I will ask to see my pieces every so often, I get them
    back to look over them, and then I'll send them back, and I have a
    simple contract that includes that if they go bankrupt my pieces are
    not their inventory, that they must ship overnight and inform me that
    they are shipping, and how soon I want to be paid and notified after
    a sale has been made as well as asking them to give me the name of
    their insurance company and signing for the replacement price
    (wholesale price) for any lost or injured pieces; I have been lucky
    so far, and had some really wonderful galleries sell some great
    pieces.  I have a primarily wholesale business and that wholesale
    price is all I expect to make, unless I do a retail show - I also
    like using my wholesale prices because if they sell an item, they
    usually, eventually, will buy the same item and that way they know
    my wholesale price structure and their customers know the retail
    price structure and it is an easy transition. 

Best, Jennifer
