Does anyone know if there is any written or unwritten rule about how two competing Ricoh companies are supposed to compete against each other?

I was in a deal and worked it for 3 weeks and beat out Canon, but then Ricoh direct got involved and not only beat my price, but destroyed it and now if I chooose to get it, if I can even get there, there is no money to be made.

THANKS

There is a code of ethics between Ikon, Savin, Gestetner, Ricoh US and I believe Dealers.

We have been told, to DMAP Register every account during the sales cycle. This way, the others have to back off.

I know this is not alot of info, but I am sure one of us has to have something in writing.
Thanks for the info. That is just it. I have them registered DMAP already.
Is it possible that the other Ricoh dealer thinks they can get to that price and has not checked to see if they can get them registered, or do they have access to some incredible pricing that I cannot get???
I mean their pricing is right at DMAP cost. It is ridiculous
It all depends on the financial strength and the volume of boxes moved that will determine what the dealer buys at.

I have had to be very creative on some sales to make a few dollars and push the envelope of what Ricoh offers and how it is done,

I will not reveal them on this site, because one of my competitors is a member on this site (I can't give all my secrets away). Howevef youme an email, I can hopefully help you.
