Fair trade laws were repealed by '75, and it took a while for pricing to diverge and become as highly variable as today.

Not sure whether anyone is doing it, but an early presumed advantage of internet commerce was that the seller could set a different price for each customer depending on the seller's knowledge of the customer's preferences, socioeconomic status, and other parameters. The global electronic village as the global electronic bazaar!
