[Typo3-shop] Some questions about tt_products

If you mean they log in into the front end as fe_users then this is 
possible already. You have to combine it with the front end user login 
extension (see bananaguard example in the manual).

There are several possibilities to make a discount for dealers. But the 
discount field makes it easier. The second possibility is to use the 
price2 field for dealers. And maybe there is an other possibility which 
I did not explore yet.

It is only possible to enter one price for one product. You can apply 
different attributes but only one price and maybe a discount price.
This is because of the database records, where you only have a  price 
   	varchar(20) which can hold only one price. But you can misuse the 
accessory field to hold an addition to the price e.g. for a frame of a 
picture. So you can combine this to have 2 prices for one product.
