Docbop Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Companies have been doing this for years. Fender and Gibson both monitor authorized dealers that's why gray market dealer give better prices. Apple is one of the worst companies at controlling street prices and part of the reason they started Apple store and limit which models and config's third part dealer can sell.

El Lobo Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 If they're breaking the law, they should be prosecuted. If they're not breaking the law, they should not be prosecuted. "These cases follow the £4.5 million fine dished out to Fender Europe for breaking competition law by preventing online discounting of its guitars. Fender admitted acting illegally and co-operated with the CMA in return for a reduced fine. Casio was fined £3.7 million for similar actions in the digital piano and keyboard market."
