Wow whats the deal with AEM?

The reason they do it is not so we have to pay more, its to make it a fair market, if one company gets a 40% discount and another only gets 20% then that second company could never match the first companies sale price. If all companies have to charge full price then its a more fair market for all vendors.

Like has been mentioned though this is mainly to cover advertised pricing. PMs and email work for "sales" though, just dontt make mention of the pricing anywhere on a public forum and they wont pay much attention.

Also I would start by editing your first psot, or deleting this thread all together.

AEM is very picky. There are several companies that operate that way. Like AEM explained to me - They usually don't look for people going under MAP, its your competion that turns you in to them.

I agree, this thread should go bye bye.

I agree...delete this thread because any vendor can request AEM to investigate the prices you're selling their products for.

The price is set so that "fly by night" shops don't sell it at pennies over their cost and then go out of business because they didn't make enough money to keep their doors open, while the legit "brick and mortar" shops lose out on sales and then don't make enough money to keep their doors open. Then AEM has no one to help sell their products and they go out of business. Sell shit for nothing helps nobody. The buyer no longer has a shop that can provide customer service or a manufacturer to uphold a warranty and now all the tuning shops are out of business and you are stuck with a tin can in your driveway.

Makes sense but i would like to have the option of bundling it within a package deal. Ive gotten approval from 100 other manufacturers.

lol well that basically sums it up. this should be posted on AEM'S dealer login page followed by a kick in the ass lol. So in conclusion we can only say we can MATCH a competitors price (which should be the jobber price)
