We know that the more hands an itempasses through on the way to us, the more it'sgoing to cost. Everybody involved in the processhas to mark the item up in order to cover theirexpenses and give themselves a little profit.Any layers that can be trimmed in the processof getting an item or service to the consumerlowers the final cost to the consumer. That'swhy I am a member of "Sam's Club." I can buymany items I use every day at near wholesaleprices. I am a member of many other buyingclubs for the same reason.I'm sure many of you look at the cost of goodsand services on-line and wonder if you can 'treduce the price by getting them wholesale too.You wonder if you can't cut out the middleman.The answer to that question is often yes, butthe path is filled with dangers.What is keeping you - and me - from buying morethings wholesale on-line?

I know this because I've been contacted by big web hosting wholesalers. However, this is notan area I want to venture into at this time. Anacceptable reason for me right now is that I don'twant to get involved in the technical end of things.I have a friend in the hosting business and he thinks it's a nightmare at times. All of thecustomer service calls for his bargain hostingdrives him crazy.If you are observant, you soon notice that youreally could probably become a supplier ratherthan a consumer for just about any product orservice that you regularly consume.
