why shouldn't consumers be allowed would be a better question. I think if someone knows what they want and have the time and doesn't want to pay retail prices it's ok by me.What I hate is companies who put there phone # on the back of products and when the customer wants another bottle they call and get it after I have taken the time to sell their product to the customer in the first place!Any time this happens I immediately stop buying that product and sell what I have in stock for cost and can easily sell something else because there are soooo many fab products out there I won't let one manufacturer use my hard learned sales skills!

Online lotion sales should be completely banned.It should be a private market, you should only be able to buy tanning lotions in salons.

I thought this was a short-lived, but interesting blast from the past.

I believe the manufacturers and distributors owe it to the salons not to undercut us. I think the product should be dated. New products especially should not be available online - old product - well who wouldn't want to dump it cheap? Better yet - lower the prices for all of us so we can sell more at better prices and there is no need for internet diversion. The major players especially should be supporting those of us who support them.
