You can find out so much using this site. By searching xenon I found out that Brad Haddin will be using it.

Using what model?
and does he use the actual bat?

But they can decide whether or not to supply and what to supply. Not to mention payment conditions.

That's true and seems to be quite relevant at the moment with several "exclusive" ranges hitting the market.
The market will tend to dictate in the end though as a supplier won't want to miss out on sales if a particular retailer begins to show big growth even if originally they were reluctant to supply

It used to happen a lot in the fishing tackle trade. Actually getting the big brands (probably equivalent of GN GM etc.) to supply could be a problem. If you didn't have those it was very difficult to get a foothold as a retailer.

A good example in retail today is the discount sector in grocery, originally hardly any of the brands wanted to supply them as they were worried it would damage their brands. Now pretty much all the major brands supply the discount sector as it's just too big to ignore.

I'd imagine this is the issue. Other retailers complain and the supplier sides with them over a new retailer. Even if the supplier just left it alone they'd find a rise on gross sales because of it.

Cricketer, you 're pretty much describing what happened with budget airlines with that comment. The fuss and dirty games relating to easyjet when it launched was astonishing, and look at what has happened since.

The reason people make a fuss over selling something that appears to be exactly the same at significantly lower consumer end price is that eventually the whole market suffers a squeeze and you have to innovate to increase your profit. Don't remember the details, but this is another aspect of economics that ginger business was talking about.

What is wrong with squeezing the market? If I am a one man shop then I don't need to charge as much as another with 3 employees. Assuming everything is equal other than price then I don't see why people are so against a Genuine!! Free market economy where people don't force price setting.

That's why I sell �400 bats for �200 .... No overheads. I could sell them for �400 because that's what the batmaker charges but that would be greedy, insane and I have no reputation in the market
