Our's must be the only business where the middle man sets the
buying price.
 Normally the seller sets the price, but in our case we are told what
price 'they' will pay, regardless of quality or quantity.
        Until that trend is changed low prices will be the norm. Perhaps
the time has come to cut the ties to 'them'.
