[QUOTE="melvimbe, post: 1795457, member: 35314"] Nah, MSRP has a different meaning, or impact, depending on the particular market. Your Nike shoes example is probably more about fashion than function. A huge discount is an indication that it's out of fashion and therefore less desirable even though they maintain the same function at a cheaper price. The price is intentionally inflated so that it can be viewed as a luxary item and more desirably....until it's out of fashion and they are happy to just get rid of it. (I personally wouldn't buy Nike at any price because of their woke BS). There are also many products these days where the MSRP is essentially the only price you can find, and the manufacturer doesn't allow the product to be sold at any other price. Only sales are manufacture approved sales, and the retailer gets a set cut of sales no matter what. Your garden center example likely doesn't even have a real MSRP, since the tress don't have a set manufacturer who sets retail prices. The center is just using s sales gimmick to satisfy customers desire to get a good deal...knowing that there customers may not know or care, that the sale price is the everyday price. Typical autos are completely different. MSRP is mostly just a number automakers throw out to the media for comparison purposes. Dealers are under no obligation to sell at, below, or above the MSRP are almost always going to price it according to the current market over anything else. And autos are much more on the functional side than something like shoes, though certainly not immune to fashion motivations. [/QUOTE]
