Suppose I were running a discount mail-order camera store
and I didn't want to traffic in the 'grey market.'
I would run the usual ads in the usual places and sell
the usual stuff.

Now suppose an inquiry came in: "How much is an XYZ lens
with USA warranty?"  This person is presumably willing to
pay a premium over my posted prices for something that
he doesn't know I am actually offering anyway.

Do I yield to the temptation to quote him a higher price?
