Buying at Wholesale Prices

Over the years, the term "wholesale distributor" has become murky, widely misused, and misunderstood...especially in the appliance business. As New England's largest wholesale appliance distributor, Blodgett buys appliances by the truckload, and sells them to retail dealers for resale to consumers. Two factoids: first, because of this role we have the largest appliance inventory of anyone in Vermont; second, we are the only true appliance wholesaler in the state. So, when we decide to sell appliances to the public, consumers have a chance to buy appliances for at, or even below the prices we charge to dealers. Because our role is wholesale distribution, we normally do NOT sell directly to consumers, and have not done so for more than 10 years. Right now, however, we have an accumulation of closeouts, overstocks, and scratch and dent appliances and high definition TV's that we need to sell. As a result, this week, through Sunday, consumers have a chance to pay true wholesale prices on a variety of merchandise. Look for the link on Wholesale Direct on our website to see more information!
