Default Garmin heavy-handed pricing model

@authen.yellow.readfreenews.net:

Don't forget that Garmin is very Microsoft-like in its pricing...A
vendor (Pacific Coast Avionics, I think?) said that they are mandated to
sell at whatever price Garmin sets and can't waiver from that. If they
do and Garmin finds out, then that retailer will no longer be able to
sell Garmin products.


Isn't that price fixing? And isn't that illegal?

Obviously it's happening, so there must be some loophole.
