What part of "Profit loss" do you not understand?

Unless you have a situation like I mentioned (stockpiling out of production parts) a reseller is NOT going to want to pay shipping twice. That eats up a lot of their profits. (like alluded to in my second post)

When you buy a BAT part from SP, CTA, CC, DP, PF or whomever the part is drop shipped from BAT to the purchaser. Thus saving paying shipping an extra time and losing profit. That is the entire idea to "reselling"
No on hand inventory overhead and not having to roll twice the shipping cost into the selling price. Which in this case is a fixed price by BAT so that means less shop profit.

Therefore the chance of finding "BAT springs" sitting on a reseller's shelf is miniscule. Which was the point of my first post.
