Bulk ordering has always been an accepted way to pay less in unit costs, but it helps move the risk from the manufacturer/wholesaler to the buyer. If you want to take the inventory risk, then you charge the customers for doing so, and the wholesaler cuts you a deal for reducing their risk in a concomitant way.

You pay a ~10% commission and a bit more on shipping, but it still comes out to much much less money, if you're okay with waiting a week or two.
