To summarize and please correct me if I am wrong. MAP is used to secure a price for a product that is not worth said price?</div></div>
Stefan, I read it the same way: "the product isn't worth the money". And if I really care for resale value I should stay away from it.

I agree.
Which is why I'm making a personal decision to stay away from Premier Reticle products, and probably from ATI stuff as well.
I couldn't afford S&B (and didn't like their reticles too much anyway) - so I got Vortex (and now it multiplied
). So far both Scott who sold me the scopes and Vortex have treated me perfectly. They've been loyal to me (how many manufacturers now would say "we've redesigned/improved the ocular - so we're offering to upgrade yours for free, even though the original one works OK"?). I'll be loyal to them.
Oh, and some "Stumps" (excerpts from Stumpp website):

The commitment to manufacturers is genuine: When G.B. Stumpp & Associates represents a product line, the firm personifies the manufacturer at every level of sales contact, communicating product information, company policies, and general good will.</span>
