Selling wholesale to the general population would put most companies out of buisness relying on the once in a wile home builder to purchase 1 maybe 2 items in his or her lifetime. The reason dealers get wholesale pricing is because they order in volume and repeatedly week in and week out. They create a form of advertising for your product. Think of how many Jegs, Summit, Year1, Classic Industries etc... books are sitting around all over the country. Yes alot are in bathrooms but they still sell, and at the end of the day people that never knew about your product will find about it.
I said "slightly higher than wholesale prices". The dealers order not just to sit on the product,but for the end user, the actual customer,who could have ordered the product directly from you,in the end there are no rumors or and you have happy customers.Of course some dealers are builders,but most tanks will end up on customer's cars.
