Sandy

That is how Walmart got as big as they are.

They buy in BULK.

I bought some corn seed at Menard's and their price was reduced from what the packet price was.
Buy in bulk, you get huge discounts, which is how major chains defeat small independent stores as they can then set the profit margin at what ever level they want.
If you wish put -- red sweet corn seed -- into your search engine and you will find what is out there at the moment.
If you search far enough there is information, often, of a seeds history.

It could be a deal Burpee set-up to clear out old seed stock but for any company to risk illegally selling another/s seed, is simply not worth the risk.
