Why do you care about the no-middleman-guarantee?

To understand why the no-middleman-guarantee is so important, we need to begin with a little math.

Let's begin by saying the cost to manufacture a high quality home theater subwoofer is $200. The manufacturer needs to pay cover his costs of shipping, marketing, storage, fulfillment, and various other bills in hopes to make a little money. He sets a wholesale price of $250 dollars. A retailer pays the manufacturer $250 and agrees to sell the product in their store. The retailer must cover the cost of shipping, marketing, storage, fulfillment and various other bills all while making a little profit. The retailer sets the retail price at $314.99. The retailer wants the customer to believe he got a great deal, so he asks the manufacturer to set the suggested retail price above the price the retailer intends to sell the product for. The manufacturer creates a web store and 'sells' the product at $399.99. The manufacturer does not intend to sell much product at this price, but the higher price creates the illusion that the customer is buying at a discount from the retailer.
