If you sell for too high of price you're gouging, if you sell for too low of price you're unfairly competing, and if you sell for the same price as your competitors you're colluding.

That's about it. I don't know about your area but down here in the Carolinas, Coke and Pepsi have solved that problem. They take turns having sales, one week it's Pepsi, the next it's Coke. Each week one bribes the grocery store chain for product placement and has a sale. Next week, the other does it. If you can drink either one or neither, you're fine.

Since the situation changes every week and at no time is one priced the same as the other, problem solved.

Can I use that phrase for a Conservative T-shirt? (It won't fit on a bumper sticker!)
