Sweet, Maryland is eliminating MAP pricing next month!

[The Fake Shemp]

I wonder if we'll see immediate markdowns. Everyone come here and get items heavily marked down!

wat?

I had to google "Maryland MAP pricing."

Minimum pricing established by a manufacturer, basically. Maryland is saying manufacturers cannot set a price that retailers must not undercut. I guess "suggested retail pricing" still applies, as long as it is not a required minimum.

Basically, most retailers buy stuff at a discount and sign a contract that says they cannot sell said item below a certain price. Maryland has now said that's illegal, so retailers can mark down stuff as low as they want.

Black Friday!

Why's it always gotta be black? That's racist.


Er, typo.

That image brings back painful memories.

Or, should I say, the unfortunate hotlinking of that image.
