Am I the only person who works with lampwork beads who faces this problem?

It's interesting, my show partner and I had a run-in with some small store
owners over the weekend. We both had our beads priced for wholesale since it
was primarily a wholesale show. I was willing to take a deeper discount for
a reasonable quantity, and said so (30% off $300 purchase). These ladies
were very unhappy with this and quite vocal about it, saying we were
obviously unwilling to work with them. Well, yes, we were. I'm not
cutthroating my own income to make their store sales easier. Nobody else
complained, and I came home to 3 large orders, so obviously I'm doing
something right. I do appreciate their position, but I think they had
difficulty in even perceiving mine. I politely told them I had beads in
several stores already, sold at the same prices. If their local market can't
handle that, there's not much I can do about it.
