Wow, you should powdercoat his face. How exactly did he pull that on you, anyway?

I extend courtesy 30 day billing to business accounts, or at least I used to.

I always thought that guy was cheesy. He would ask a question about mods and then answer himslef under his company name poor tactics if you are trying to get your companies name out there plus you had to register to see prices on his website, F@Ck him. He got banned from here.

Yes, Edge Products has what they call their MVP (Maximum Value Program). And yes, in order to sell Edge Products the dealer must be approved by Edge for inclusion in the MVP. Advertising or selling any Edge product below the MVP price is considered a violation of the program policy and can lead to termination of approved dealer status.

MSD Ignition
Superchips
Edge Products
Racepak

All of the above "MSD" companies use the same program.

Aloha

in other words they want to sell for the same price across the broad and vendors can't compete with each other becuase its the same price every where.

Greedy!

It's called a MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) program and is very common in consumer retail. It is illegal for a manufacturer to dictate a selling price to the retailer, so what they do instead is make available co-op advertising funds and other support. However, the co-op funds and spiffs are available only if you sell the product at MSRP or above a certain minimum price.

Manufacturers do this to protect their retail channel (otherwise, low-overhead Internet sellers would destroy people with showrooms and other expensive overhead) as well as their margins.
