Agreed. But whether the retailer chooses to offer it may be affected by external factors, like the producer.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not accustomed to discounts - I just like it when I find them. It just makes me PO'd when the publisher won't let me use it. But the discount doesn't go away - I can still use it on other books from the retailer that is offering it. The discount offered by the retailer is limited by the publisher.
I understand being PO'd. There's just a limit to how PO'd I get over stuff like that.

So what do you then do? Do you have a hard and fast rule that you won't buy books that aren't discounted, or are there titles you want badly enough that you'll pay the higher price?
