It's just common sense. I wouldn't sell my top quality to a competitor when I can hold on to it--store it--and wait for my competitor to go out of business-because I am not supplying him/her and then get a portion of his/her customer base when they go out of business.
It depends on whether your business model is more concerned with making a profit (selling to competition), or providing insurance to make sure your current patients have inventory (not selling and sitting on current inventory).
