Okay, not once have I seen an accurate statement about Kimber's sales policy. Prior to becoming a Master Dealer I purchased from a distributor.
As a Master Dealer, Kimber does nothing to protect my sales territory. I have to compete directly with the guy down the street who is a larger business with multiple locations. That business is a member of a buying group, and buying groups have two advantages over me.
One, they are able to purchase Kimbers cheaper than me. Two, they are not restricted as to MAP, minimum advertised price.
The Kimber price sheet shows Dealer, Master Dealer and Retail pricing. I paid approximately dealer price through the distributor, and never attempted to buy at that price through Kimber. I have no idea if one is able to.
The so called basement bandit cannot hurt me on Kimber products. The buying group can.
