Ditto (again)
Not saying it would happen, but eventually you will get the "I saw this plant at the garden center for $X.XX" and your price is $X.XX + 10% or whatever or it might be less even with a markup if you're getting wholesale from a nursery. Like Raj said, you won't see the forest for the trees.
