Additionally, there may be the  criminal aspect of price fixing/gouging
to deal with. This is not a role,  nor in my opinion should it be, for  the
SBE.

Is this price fixin'?   or the price of fixin' ?   I'm  fixin to raise my 
fixin' rates,  I've been too cheap for years.    My wife even says I'm cheap.
 
In fact I have a stations solid state module in my shop that owes me over  
$200.00 for some service work.  I was supposed to repair it but when I  started 
having trouble collecting, I just kept it.  On the third past due  notice,  I 
made it clear I was going to sell it on ebay if not paid.
 
Their new engineer called me and told me he explained that it would be  
cheaper for them to pay the bill than buy a replacement module.
 
Still no resolution.
