You said it.  They sometimes price war with each other.

Because it pisses off the dealer network.

  How about just posting the realistic prices on the website? Why is that not 
the solution?

    I agree, most people won't expect to pay MSRP, and it does give you some 
idea what the price is going to be. but I can see it scaring some people off if 
it's set too high... you probably don't want to put a $99 MSRP on something 
that all the dealers sell for $29.

      Agreed. As long as you mark it as MSRP, most people will understand that 
price is generally higher than what they will pay a vendor. Especially if 
ordering in higher quantities.

      I'd prefer ballpark pricing than none at all.

      The question this morning, is when you go to a website like mine, and you 
see prices that are List/MSRP with a hint that dealers will give you a 
discount, is that better or worse than no prices at all?

      MSRP are inflated a bit, do they scare people away.  Would it be better 
without any prices?

      I know I often skip places without any prices but I also know that I am 
pretty bad at extrapolating my experiences into what the "average" customer 
would do.
