From an accountant's perspective, any price lower than full MSRP is giveaway (i.e. lost profit).
There is a limit to what any retail business can afford to give away, even if it does help to shift older stock.
It will be interesting to see whether Anderton's Seen A Better Price? feature returns to their website at the beginning of the 2020/21 financial year.
Also, I have seen with a lot of online firms they are starting to want people to buy on total service they offer rather than the lowest price. So the stuff in stock, well packaged, smart delivery options good support. All of which costs to do. My friend has in the last 18 months realigned his online business to incorporate higher standards across the whole user experience rather than chase the lowest price and has seen 30% growth and margins improve. In the end, online has to grow up and not rushing out the price matching argument may be the start of that trend.

Anyone can stand firm and not offer a discount...................and good luck to them too
I quite understand that all business entities have their own reasons/margins and relative overheads that enable their price policy but if a stock carrying retailer as opposed to what is basically just a drop - shipper are not jumping to get in a race to the bottom then that's hardly surprising.
