This ties in slightly with my post above.
Wholesalers know where their volume is sold. Guys like Lawrence will never sell the volume Jimbows or Cabelas do.
The last thing these big wholesalers want is companies selling their wares to go under, so they support them however they can.
Same mentality as OEM's getting way better pricing than an end user; OEM's making a profit will push their suppliers wares for them and in return, the supplier takes care of and protects their high volume re-sellers.
