If there are a variety of wholesalers and retailers in my area who are selling the same products that I need. How should I go about getting the cheapest one? Should I write a letter to each company explaining to them my business purpose and ask them for what their lowest prices are for the certain products that I may need? Should I also tell them that I'm sending letters to the other companies in the area and make it a battle to see which company gets my business? If you understand what I'm trying to say, what are your comments on the idea?

Advice PLEASE!
