Quote - Penguinisto, I think it is that the stores don't have the contractual right to lower the price without approval from the merchant and they don't want to go to the trouble of looking the merchants up to ask.

Ah, but that can be scripted too (or even put into policy, like the RMP Warehouse thingy of not so long ago). Neither could be retroactive, though. OTOH, they could certainly do it for their own products... MySQL is kinda nifty for picking out in-house stuff and avoiding the PA stuff :) /P
