Default Parts Wholesalers

I'm currently ****ed off with wholesale-type parts shops. I'm trying to price up/order about a thousand bucks worth of gauges and other bits and pieces. I phone shop after shop, offering to start a cash account, but they say "are you in the trade?" to which I reply "no" and then they say "well, we don't sell to the public" and give me Autobarn's number.

How bloody hard is it? It's not like I'm trying to get wholesale on an oil filter for a Camry here, I'm ordering a decent amount of stuff, I've got the part numbers ready to go, and I spend an absolute -load of money on parts every year - probably more than a lot of people who have accounts with them.

Does anyone have a way around this, or is it just that shops don't want sales?
