Since the same retail channels, for physical products. are open to all, not necessarily.

Can they do that? And would it apply to mail order and internet booksellers, or just to brick and mortar stores?
If they do have the authority, I would like for price haggling to be outlawed on all products. Same price for all comers. I know this won't happen, because, I suspect, the great majority of new car buyers think they are above-average price negotiators.
