Price fixing is widely done in electronics. The method used is that a franchised disti selling at an unauthorised price gets the franchise pulled. I have this directly from people in the business. It is the oldest trick in the book. Price maintenance is everywhere :) |

The cause was exactly price fixing and collusion. Jon |
