>> 2 dram vial $15 or 3 for $40

This is what the people don't understand.......

Hey Nancy,

 

Thanks for providing a good example of why folks should be careful.

The below is typical of a Health Food store.

>>IDEA at all what they are selling .. they know nothing about the

>>have to compete with these folks .. like it or not.

 

And .. how can we compete with folks who make so many nice promises ..

as we see below? They left off .. won't rust, bust or collect dust and

if'n you sniff our oils you will be transmitted to a Paradise where all

smells like Fields of Ambrosia. ;-)

 

>>Anyway .. for retail sales .. me and all the other professional dealers

Competing with the prices below is not a problem when our buyers are

knowledgeable .. but it might be for those who think small sizes and

outrageous prices are a sign of high quality.

 

> (We carry Over 30 Essential Oils) Each are 100 % pure

 

Yea .. especially the Banana and Cucumber. ;-) No such EO exist.

 

Almond is NOT an essential oil .. its a fixed oil.
