I disagree with Ryan and agree with Jamie.

Retailers have the business contact to get bulk purchases. Individuals have 
far fewer. Wholesalers are likely not going to deal with retailers.

I don't think your issue should be with retailers/businesses. Rather it should 
be with non-bulk offers - either one offs (or only a few items) or overpriced 
wrt ordinary.

Even so, that is just a matter of definition - is it part of the TIB or part 
of something else?
