Explanation:
It depends a bit what 'trade' these people are in!

Usually, 'trade' here means 'wholesaler price', and by definition, probably implies some kind of purchase in bulk. However, if these 'trade prices' are for the purchase of one-off or small volumes, and are being offered to retailers (rather than professional end-users), you might find that 'prix détaillant' is more appropriate.

In the UK at least, some suppliers provide a catalogue showing RETAIL prices (so you can safely show it to customers!), and the retailer in question simply knows what discount off those prices they are entitled to.

But of course, as I said, it all depends on the exact context, and if this is a dealer/retailer situation, for example.

In any case, it's something of a commercial 'stock phrase', and I guess it sort of implies "so don't try asking us for any further discount!"

Prix marchand = Prix auquel un article a toutes les chances de bien se vendre tout en apportant une marge convenable.

disagree  Tony M: No, that term, as defined above, is not what this means. It is short for 'price to the trade'

  -> Right, Tony M., mea culpa!

neutral  Marie-Andree Dionne: Il ne faut pas toujours se fier au LGDT, ils sont parfois dans le champ. Ici, prix marchand aurait dû être compris comme prix au marchand
