	Actually, the scoop is that, when Commodore sold directly
to the student/faculty and the dealer was just an intermediary,
you were buying from CBM and so CBM set the price. Now, you are
buying direct from the dealer and it would be illegal for
Commodore to require them to sell at a certain price. So they can
do as they wish.
