Most of you noticed the fact that all Grado products are price-fixed - as in - if the retailer sales it at a lower price he becomes an unauthorized dealer and doesn't recieve shipments from the company.
This happened once, with "Powermax" - they even wrote an article regarding this situation (They sold Grados for a really low price.. SR80 for 64$ instead of 95$ etc.) Actually, they lost their authorization because of us head-fi'ers, advertising their price - which reached Grado eventually.
I find price fixing very lame, tbh. It also eliminates competition.
