Most price control companies do bother me. They force retailers not to sell at "discount" princes. Some only do that for advertised prices and you can get the "real" price "in the basket".Screamin Scott wrote: It doesn't bother me that much either...The answer lies in the quality though. Even though something is a "Knock off" doesn't mean it is of inferior quality...If the quality is there & the price is less, I'll buy it. (as a matter of fact I have one of these Q straps & it is good quality merchandise). My peeve is when you have a manufacturer who sets price controls on their goods so that no one can sell it for any less than what they deem it to sell for. Sony & Apple are notorious for this...That's why I have a PC & not a Mac. That & also proprietary batteries & accessories as well. They want to corner markets & control pricing for utmost profit.
