A) Most businesses sell items direct, or through the store (If you go to walmart.com its the catalog price, if you go to the store you are paying a little more to help pay for the store).

So the Catalog price would be what you sell the item for at a lower price (while still making money) because you don't have to pay for the store to run, the store price is a mark up from Catalog price (making even bigger profits) and helping pay for the store.

B) Yes you would write EIGHT so that someone cant say of that looked like a 9...that's how I make my 4s or something like that.

If you are making a bid, I would talk to the people who run the company and say hey look, Ill go 3% lower on your lowest bid (depending on how bad you need the business). That's what a vendor did to me, I honestly didn't care who we went with and if I could save that extra 3% (these are Cylinders for the trucks that cost about 1400 each and we would buy about 6 or 7 a month) I would take it.
