Um, could you identify which item under 2 or 3 would describe a
sales discussion?
Saleguy: "Buy my product. I'll sell it to you for US$xxx."
Potential customer: "OK, but only if you guarantee me that that's
your best price to any customer for the next 6 moths."
Salesguy: "OK."
By way of offering a single example, I'm only choosing the first bullet
of #2. Getting this sort of "price fixing" guarantee isn't actually all
that unusual for critical sales contracts.
