That's not positive reinforcement, that's letting them know you can be bought off. You're telling them "it's ok for you to fix prices, stifle competition, limit buying freedom, etc...as long as you keep your price point at level x."
Choosing your price point is not a boycott, it's simple market forces at work.
Boycotting is a matter of principle, hurting them in the pocketbook to get them to change a business practice. A sanction.
"We want your product, We would pay your price for your product, but a large bunch of us will do without your product and make you and you shareholders feel it, until you change practice x."
