It was known by many people that Jonathan Adkins of Adkins Performance works for Vertical Doors Inc. in Corona.

Now Jonathan has been masking his Identity as "Drift Girl" and other screen names to sell his Vertical Doors for a price under retail. While other Vendors are forced to sell at retail.

I'm a vendor myself. I don't sell these doors but from my perspective, I would think other Vendors trying to sell Vertical Doors would have an opinion about this.

What do you think?

Donny,
Please keep that mess where it is.

To answer the question - is it fair? To the alias question: That would be a question for the owner/operators of the board. Does the board allow aliases? Does the board allow multiple accounts? If so, then, strictly speaking, yes, it is fair.
To the pricing question: This, too, is not an uncommon business practice, and unless it creates a monopoly situation (meaning, there is no other option), then yes, technically, it, too is fair. Are the other vendors being forced to sell the product? Nope - they could drop the line, or pick up another option instead.
Now, fairness aside, is it a good business model? As long as it works.

The article keeps yammering on about how there are no new models of smart. Why on earth should we need to have something that looks different each year when what we have is excellent? The big three have always depended on people believing that they…

http://autos.aol.com/article/smart-fortwo-buy-again/ the first part of the article is woefully wrong and a clear manipulation of raw data.. But the rest of the article is painfully on the right track.
