External link
I've removed the following external link from this article, though I believe it could be a useful external link when the article is further developed. The problem is that this article attracts a great deal of spam in its external links. If this external link can be integrated into the article as a footnote, that would be very helpful. --Busy Stubber 02:22, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * U.S. Census Bureau Monthly Wholesale Trade data

Reference #5 (http://taxhistory.tax.org/Civilization/Documents/Sales/hst6646/6646-1.htm) is a report prepared for the US Congress in 1942!!! How current does information have to be to be accurate? Does this tell us anything about wholesale tax conditions today? At least something like "historically" should be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.201.180.15 (talk) 21:43, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

The definition of wholesale
I guess the way it is described here is just one way to define wholesale. In my opinion "sale in quantities" is the essence.

how can I find the better directory for wholesale? Any help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fred954 (talk • contribs) 13:34, 20 September 2007
 * Wikipedia isn't a directory. Try the Yellow Pages for local wholesalers or Google for all wholesalers. You might want to narrow your search in Google by geography and desired product. Best of luck! --Busy Stubber 00:42, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Could the definition be wrong? Take BJ's wholesale club for example. They DO sell directly to consumers, they don't supply other stores with their merchandise, yet they call it a wholesale club. The snare (talk) 19:48, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

List Confusion
Whenever I download a list from the business library such as Dun and Bradstreet or Reference USA of "wholesalers" 70% of the firms end up being "manufacturers" and I end up wasting a lot of time. Has the definition changed recently? 209.225.141.253 (talk) 16:41, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

consumer standards

 * In general, it is the sale of goods to anyone other than a standard consumer.

Should "standard consumer" be defined? —Tamfang (talk) 07:28, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
