As a reference ... we've been selling Oneway products on Ebay for a
while. You can check out our current listings (and feedback) on my
Ebay store at http://stores.ebay.com/Going-Bunkers. Oneway has told us
our Ebay prices are too low (they have asked us to sign a MAP policy)
so we will soon have to stop our Ebay listings.


Isn't that an illegal restraint of fair trade in the U.S.?


I thought so too, it sounded a bit like price fixing, which is illegal
in the US, but a bit of research reveals that an MAP is an agreement to
a minimum *advertised* price only. As long as you advertise at that
price you can sell at whatever price you want.
