Default RE: Bowtech price policy??

For a manufacturer to enforce a suggested retail price is an anit-trust violation. Most manufacturers know this and will not admit that they are santioning or cutting off a dealer for not abiding by the MSRP. Rather, they will slow down orders or deliveries or have product out of stock when the particular dealer attempts to order. In otherwords, they will attempt to enforce the MSRP but will do it in such a way as to make it harder to prove a violation of the law. In any event, few retailers or customers have the clout or resources to duke it out with a manufacturer. As a result, many smaller retailers abide their manufacturer's wishes, and we the consumers pay more than we ought to. A number or retailers will frequently try to get around this by selling accessories at a discount. I'd shop around--I'm sure you will find a retailer to cut you a break on accessories or give you a discount for multiple purchases.
