I'm trying to figure out just what the hell the story is here, and all I can come up with is Todd C. Frankel doesn't want us freely buying ammo. [More]
This is fairly common business practice. Several competing grocery store chains operating in a geographic area may share an owner, but they all sell soda pop and chips at different prices. The Internet facilitates owning virtual online "storefronts" with fulfillment from a common warehouse or from multiple warehouses that minimize holding and shipping costs. Many online sites never actually carry some items in inventory, but the items are drop-shipped from the manufacturer once you place the order and pay online.
BTW, when you buy a Dodge or a Chrysler automobile, they may both be manufactured in the same factory. Is this deceptive business practice? Lexus and Toyota are brands from the same company, as is Acura and Honda. Ford is part owner of Mazda, so some pf their vehicles are made in the same factory but with different trim and surprisingly, receiving differing quality evaluations by customers.
