Take the bicycle industry for instance...right now you can buy parts from pricepoint.com for cheaper than the local shops pay our local distributors. Please tell me, how is this the retailers fault?

The auto industry is a different story...

The distributors know what the retailers are asking for their products and are going to set their prices relative to that. Unless the retailers adjust their prices first, then why would the distributors?
