Wholesale
Business Context
Used in commerce, 'wholesale' often refers to business-to-business sales, not to general public.

Price Implication
'Wholesale price' means the cost is usually lower than retail due to the large quantity.

Not For End-User
'Wholesale' items are typically purchased for resale or business use, not by the final consumer.

Retail stores buy products at wholesale prices before adding a markup.
