Re: SWFA no Nightforce scopes
What the hell- If I buy Nightforce scopes wholesale for $1000 each, and choose to sell them at $1001 each, that's MY decision. Having NF tell me I have to sell them at $1500 each is price fixing. Call it MAP if you will, it's price fixing. As referenced above, dealers who sell below MAP (Mininum ADVERTISED Price) are punished by NF and lose their dealerships.
If you call a sheep's tail a leg, who many legs does a sheep have? The answer is still "Four" since calling a tail a leg does not make it a lag.
If you call price fixing MAP, is it still price fixing? The ultimate payee for this policy is us, the consumers. It eliminates competition between vendors, and we all pay more (MAP) than a truly free marketplace would charge.
We all lose, Nightforce wins. How's that for a way to support your market? Add in their crappy CS, with multi-month delays for reticle changes or scopes, and I'm done with them. They're still good scopes, and I might pick up a couple more used ones, but the whole "IF you can find one of our scopes, you HAVE to pay what WE decide" is bullshit.
