Good to know.  Thanks, Rivka.  I was actually a little surprised when I was told, on my first day at market, that I had to raise my prices on this-n-that because the market manager didn't want me to undersell another vendor.  Given that it was my first day, there was quite a learning curve involved and I got the impression that was standard practice.  I'd be curious to know if that was something really unusual, or if others have had that experience (or one like it).  I can definitely remove the text, or at least modify it so that it better reflects national conditions.

Kathryn, I'd delete that line. In many areas setting minimum prices is illegal.

4)  Many markets will also set informal minimum pricing standards, such that one vendor cannot come in with a glut of product, and undersell other vendors with the same product.
