The gauntlet...so true and aggravating! I also had one vendor tell me their opening order was $5000. That's fine if it's working for them - but until I know how they do business (ie. shipping speed, back-orders, etc.) there is no way I am handing that man $5000. It's a shame too because over time I probably would have purchased a LOT of items from them.<br /><br />Agree...agree...agree!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765803292224530204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223697.post-78051734614210034692013-08-16T11:49:06.954-05:002013-08-16T11:49:06.954-05:00Good article!

Too many wholesalers commit " sales suicide" by doing exactly what you describe.
