Hi,
 
If price fixing is an agreement between business competitors to sell the same product or service at the same price what is an agreement between manufacturers like Dyson and Miele that may mandate the specific pricing of their product by vendors?
 
Thanks,

Thanks Carmine.

Hi Carmine,
 
I'm not prone to deal with brick-and-mortar based vendors these days as much as I am inclined to shop online. (Statistics say that's sort of a guy thing) however I've noticed online that pricing for most Miele product is standard.  As an instance, if you search for the "Red Velvet" you usually come up with the same price vendor to vendor.  Relief may come if shipping is free and sales tax is not required.
 
I have only found the Capricorn at a better price of eight-hundred-and-something dollars in comparison to over the $1,000 you find it for at online vendorships.  As for buying at local established vendors, in my area these people are hard-pressed by overhead.  Rental of business is sky high and they unfortunately cannot offer attractive pricing.
 
Regards,

Thanks O.T.  I forgotten about Riccar but that's what I'm talking about.

And if you don't order/sell a minimum number in a certain period of time, you're out.
