I think it's kind of disingenuous to maintain that agency pricing hurts small and medium sized retailers . On the contrary, those are the ones who are most in favor of agency pricing. They see Amazon's biggest advantage as its ability to undercut their prices while remaining in business because they make their money selling other stuff. No more talk please of why small retailers would do better going up against Amazon without agency pricing. THEY don't see it that way and never have.
