Your #3 rule....

What do you say one should do if that low-life full service dealer had a product for sale, packaged how it is needed, no strings attached, and is lower priced than what one assumes comes from "wholesale" dealers? Not sure how to define "wholesale". 

I think many of us have seen "wholesale" prices higher than some retailers. In the line of chem retail dealers, I doubt any sell loss-leader products either. I'm not discrediting any forms of input suppliers, just looking for your guidance. Does one farm by rule #3 without diversion?
