I like the Idea but not to sure if it would work, I know in my line of business there is a certin pattern that should be followed, Manufacture to distributer, then distributer to end user.
In my opinion the manufactures should not be selling to anybody but a distributer, if we cut out the middle man it means peoples jobs are taken away from them. I know we would be getting the goods for less, but in my opinion it should follow the proper chain.
just my 2 cents
