So it was understood that the OP was asking about the scenario wherein the LBS already had something in stock prior to a wholesale price drop (as opposed to buying it at after a wholesale price drop)? If you'll ponder it a bit more, wouldn't the OP have already had his answer if that was the case?

Look, it was a poorly worded answer at best and contradictory at worst. If it were, as you say, delineated (to describe or portray something precisely), we wouldn't be having this off-shoot convo. Whatever. I'm done and the answer is still the same: it depends.
