Our priority is to make a good product at a good price. We maintain a good relationship with our vendors and when we get calls from vendors complaining about each other, its frustrating. Both parties are aware of our pricing policiy which is VERY specific.
Yes manufacturers generally have the right to dictate to their retailers that they must sell their products at a certain price point -- or lose the ability to obtain more products from the manufacturer. This is used to preserve brand image, especially with exclusive products, which can suffer if vendors start a pricing war over the products. If that occurs, consumers will perceive the product as less valuable than the manufacturer wants it to be.

Here, RPI wants its scoop to sell at a certain price point. Nothing wrong with that.
