So the faithful can come and gawk without competitors wooing the faithful
away to something better or CHEAPER?

We have a boat dealer here who plays the same game. He NEVER displays at
boat shows with his competitors, but has a "special showing" the same
weekend the boatshow is going on. That way he doesn't have to answer
embarrassing questions about why his boats are so much more money or have
less quality or the "Why don't you have this?" questions.

It's a different marketing plan to sell overpriced equipment without
discounts.
