Purpose of this Business

It may be asked, what is the purpose of this site? Why not just buy directly from the manufacturer?

Well, to be honest, I considered doing that very thing. So, I asked about prices of various products. The prices were much higher than I had hoped. So, I asked how much they would cost if I bought in bulk. The prices were much more reasonable. Of course, I have no need for multiple of these products. So, first thing I thought to do was to see if someone else was selling these things cheaper because they bought in bulk. Quite honestly, I was surprised to find that there was no such service already set up. So, since this service I want to take advantage of doesn't exist, I decided to go ahead and create it myself. It's a product I can really feel passionate about, and an opportunity to provide this to others for the same price I would want myself.

Now the question becomes... Am I alone in this desire, or is this actually something others would appreciate?
