This is not real hard to understand. Manufactures sell to distributors that have agreed not to sell there products over the internet. Those greedy distributors sell to internet sites that are not authorized to sell the products that the distributor has sold them. They do this so they can make a quick buck by selling lots of products at lower margin rather than fewer products at a higher margin. The manufacturer gets upset because his product that he feels is worth $290.00 is being sold for $225.00 - Now his product isnt worth $290.00 any more it's worth $225.00. So now he tries to find out what distributors have been transhipping there products to internet sites, cuts them off and that makes the products harder to find.
