    This isn't the issue at all in this discussion. I'm not price driven
    at all but I still understand the need to have a supplier who is
    dealing with the trade and not at a basically retail level. Non
    professionals simply should not have access to some of the wholesale
    discounts that professionals are able to access. And quite frankly I
    find the argument about software design to be completely specious.
    You design software, you don't make a product that has material
    cost. The hardware producers in the computer business (like Apple or
    Sony) don't wholesale their product to the general public. Why should
    jewelry supply houses?
