Apple used to be really strict on retailers giving discounts back in the 1990s. I remember one retailer in Austin that I went to I think called Computer City that Apple took away their license to sell anything from Apple because they gave holiday discounts. Some retailers tried getting around that policy by using Apple's approved price but giving away for free a printer or some other accessory. Apple got pissed over that policy too.
