Subj: Re: [kl] Buffet Pricefixing??

Hello,
I checked with music shopes in Israel - they never heard from Buffet about pricefixing.
Maybe it is possible to do it in the US and Europe - but do you think that it will be possible
in other countries - Chaina for example?

Walter, you wrote that the prices of oboes and flutes are much higher - but they need one instrument and we need at least two...
