Re: [spiers] Gray Market

Why not do this? It is perfectly legal, and it is done quite often. So
widespread is the practice
that big biz has used congress to block some parts of it... whereas once
Mercedes benz and
BMWs were often imported and sold this way, now the law allows you to bring in
one car per
lifetime, rather wrecking the game. No company overseas can grant exclusive
rights under
law in USA, they can only prommise not to sell to anyone else. Of course anyone
can buy the
exclusive product through a third party in say Germany, and get around the
exclusive. This is
covered in the book.
