Deals on saltwater test kits

All you can do is keep watching the sellers websites and see if they have a sale. Many items by the big manufacturers have MAP pricing which doesn't allow a seller to put their products on sale without manufacturer approval.... naively a price gouging and fixing scheme disguised under the concept to "maintain product name integrity." I can see this for items to maintain resale value, but with our profession, it's just highway robbery!

I try not to support companies who require MAP pricing on dustributors!

I'm seeing that everywhere now. Some of these supply companies offer 10% off coupons but they don't work on anything useful because they all have MAP in place. What's the point?!
