Sure, Vendors/Retailers who buy more will get first dibs on premium grades and possibly exclusivity, but they are generally available to all...sad, but whoever spends the most money wins in this instance.

I agree here 100%. I had a discusion with a wholesale buyer who went to Bali to pick out an order. He said there were corals there that make anything we get here look pale and uncolored. The real good corals all go to Japan. They have the market there that is willing to pay 4 times what we pay here. Therefore they get first pick.
