I would suspect it is probably to compete with other brands such as Ameda
and Bailey - whose prices run quite a bit lower and has nothing at all to do
with any other motive. It also stands to reason (the WalMart theory) that
the more you buy from a vendor, the better price you get. While this puts
some smaller vendors in a bad position as far as being able to compete goes,
the smaller vendor offers service rather than economy - and that has
generally been the historical case in all things retail.

Subject: Medela's price policy
Maybe someone should pose the question: what is Medela's motive?
Is it to support mothers by contributing a piece of equipment that,
appropriately used, can be of great use for some families?
Or, is it to sell as many pumps as possible?
This is a valid question, if the company offers its products at cut-rate on
the internet, but not to the professionals who use them in their treatment
of BF problems.
