## Definition

a person or company that buys products from a manufacturer and then sells them to customers. They usually add a small price to the original cost to make a profit.

For teachers: an entity that purchases goods from a manufacturer or distributor and subsequently sells them to end consumers. Often involves the addition of a markup to the original wholesale price.

## Examples

- The local electronics store is an official reseller of the brand.
- After the factory closed, several independent resellers continued to sell the remaining stock at a discount.
- While the manufacturer focuses on production, the reseller handles the logistics of distribution and customer service, ensuring the product reaches a wider demographic across the country.
