- This is not new. I believe Oakley also does this with their sunglasses.
- And I often wonder why one never see's the VCR Plus for less than $59.

- In the local K-Mart there was a display set up where they wanted people
- to sign a petition in support of a bill in Congress that would make
- this price fixing illegal. K-Mart feels that they should be able to sell
- a product for whatever price they think they can afford to sell it at.
-
- I would tend to agree. If anybody's interested I'll see if I can't
- find the bill number.
-
- Otherwise I'm sure there is a more appropriate newsgroup for such
- discussion...
