What the wholesaler makes on a deal doesn't change what it's worth to me.To me it is starting to sound like the point of this post is to sell wholesaling and justify large wholesale profits....Using your example - if a wholesaler purchased a property for $100k and sold it to me for $500k I would first wonder what the major problems are that I didn't see!!
