I experienced it first at grey dealers. They have a hot watch that was priced reasonably, but the caveat is I have to buy some other watches of theirs from a prevetted selection. And also with some retail brands like Hermes, where you need to buy a certain quota of goods before you will have access to their bags.
They are just tactics to drive sales, for the purpose of not appearing to gouge customers. May be the brands don't allow the retail owners to do huge markup in their contracts and this is the work around. For me, same dog, different fleas.
