wholesale prices
Before retail markup
Wholesale prices are what retailers or distributors pay for goods in bulk before marking them up for consumers.
The term appears in economic reporting as an indicator of inflation trends: Wholesale prices rose 3% last quarter.
Wholesale prices are lower than retail prices because they exclude the retailer's margin.
