Is this a wholesale or retail event?
Our events are open to the public and tend to be retail oriented. As such, prices marked by vendors should always be retail. There are qualified wholesale buyers who attend, but as there is no pre-registration/credentials checked at the door, it is up to each INDIVIDUAL vendor to (a) chose whether or not they wish to conduct wholesale transactions, (b) check the buyer's credentials to confirm that they are licensed for wholesale transactions, and (c) set their own minimums for such transactions.
VENDORS: It is illegal to engage in a wholesale transaction without charging sales tax (in states where there is a sales tax) with anyone who is not properly licensed.
BUYERS: All must respect vendor policies and not expect such pricing if not properly qualified.
