Wholesale implies a large quantity of goods, they sell in quantity
(the quantity may be over some time, say a year). <br>
<br>
A 'Trade' shop implies specialist goods and specialist knowledge,
not things that are present in supermarkets. <br>
An Electronics trade shop will know what a 12 puff capacitor is and
have several types available, high Q please. <br>
A Plumbers trade shop will have several types of stop cocks
available... etc. <br>
<br>
A trade shop may accept walk in customers .. but give them retail
prices where as a trade person would get trade price. <br>
Some trades are protected by law and a trade shop may refuse sales
based on that .. usually safety related. <br>
