- I love shopping at factory outlets. I can cut out the middleman and buy directly from the manufacturer at big discounts.
- The key to this shop's success has been our ability to eliminate the middleman and pass the savings on to the customer.
- Investors can now trade online, making a middleman - the broker - unnecessary.
- A wholesaler is a distributor that acts as a middleman between the manufacturer and the retailer. The retailer acts as a middleman between the manufacturer and the consumer, and his direct supplier is the wholesaler.*
