[Jukebox-list] MPG

[Don Tutt]

Ooops Ron,
Sorry. I miss-used the term "price war". In fact all the guzzeleen vendors 
hereabouts jack their price at the same  time to the same exact price. Ditto 
when they offer occasional price reductions.... all land at the same price. 
Seems like they are in cahoots and seems like a few years ago we had anti 
monoply laws that protected us from this "no competition" scenario.
This isn't the forum to kick this stuff around, but I appreciate Jay letting 
the thread run a bit.  Been interesting seeing what y'all are dealing with 
in the cost of transporting jukes and parts to and fro.
Don
