Wholesale Help

[michellyaqua12.livejournal.com]

This is not a selling post, but I have a question about stuff related to selling, and wasn't sure where else to ask.

I make and sell jewelry. Someone recently contacted me asking about wholesale prices. They are interested in buying my jewelry to resell, and want to know if I can give them some kind of percentage discount if they buy a certain amount, or something.

I don't really know that much about wholesale and how it works. Could someone explain? What kind of discounts are typical? I don't want to sell myself short.

I'm also kind of confused about the point of wholesale, because it sounds like I basically lose out on money while they in turn make money from reselling my stuff? Do you do it for exposure?

Any info/advice you have would be appreciated.
