Many small businesses find that their "trade" prices are often only

Many years ago a major aerial manufacturer lost a lot of their trade
business because they were selling to the DIY sheds at much cheaper
prices than they were selling to aerial riggers. The trade simply
switched to other brands en masse.

Says it all about many trades. They just go for the best deal, not the
best product.

As with boilers.

I take it you think the price a maker sells something to various different
customers should be controlled by law?
