Who dictates what price something is sold at? I was half temped to buy a TV the was £499 at richer sounds or £530 at John Lewis but with a 5 year guarantee, I checked the price just before Christmas. I have glanced at it every week since.

IT is now £599 at richer sounds with supposedly £50 off, however it is this price everywhere, Argos, John Lewis, Currys etc. Is it just a coincidence that they have all put their prices up to the exact amount at the exact same time or do they discuss things with each other first.

Maybe the manufacturer put up the price, or the FX rate used to pay the supplier has gone against them?
