What the hell are you talking about? He just told you he got a better deal
from a reseller, do you deny this? If they can get a better discount from
dec than you can, it's certainly possible for them to sell to you for less than
dec will. Can you understand the possibility that it costs dec more to sell to
individual customers than to these wholesalers? Everytime you go into a store,
do you complain to them about what a ripoff it is and, how you could get
such a better deal buying direct from the manufacturer/grower/whatever?
