Phrase wholesale
Text In this podcast, the phrase "wholesale" means to buy a product from a company in large quantity and at a lower price, usually with the plan to sell it again to someone else at a higher, or "retail," price: "If I can buy these MP3 players at a good wholesale price, I plan to sell them in my store." The person or company who sells wholesale is called the "wholesaler." "Wholesale" can also be used as an adjective to mean to do something on a large scale or to do something completely: "It's hard to believe the wholesale destruction caused by the storm unless you see it for yourself." Or, "That company plans to move all of the families out of this neighborhood wholesale so that they can build a shopping mall."
