Most manufacturers do not sell below list price.  If they did, they would be
undercutting their own supply network.  The exception would ber factory
outlet stores, where you can buy seconds and overstocks.  The "Outlet Malls"
you see here and there tend to not be true factory stores, but rather retail
outlets of the manufacturers.
