    Yes probably, you said that the German government is at the root of the problem? Can you PM me with more info? Monopoly is simply exclusive distribution rights. Nothing sinister per se just creates an environment where there are no real competitors.

    I know what monopoly means thanks.

    I want you to explain the wholesaler monopoly you're complaining about.

    The Germany issue is well known. Have a look into it.

    Will do thanks, that's exactly what I mean when I say monopoly of wholesalers but not a complaint just an observation we would have much less to chose from if they did not exist. They spend millions importing goods for us to enjoy. But sadly if they so decide they can also stifle a brand.

    Certainly, but why would they do that?

    They would a) lose revenue and b)lose the "monopoly.

    It would not make commercial sense to "stifle a brand" intentionally.

    I have no doubt that certain importers fuck up brands, but I think they do it though incompetence, negligence or not enough give 'o fuck.

    Well, I don't have any vendettas against anyone so I am not here to name names and call people out on their BS. Companies are run by people and people make decisions based on wants as I did getting a Walther - Not every decision is based in logic or has to makes financial sense it just has to satisfy the want.
