PRICE FIXING: Actions, generally by a several large corporations that
dominate in a single market, to escape market discipline by setting prices
for goods or services at an agreed-on level.
In order for it to be price fixing, on your 'unique' product, there would
have to be no possible way of anyone competing for the market you sell your
product to. That is, I couldn't come along and sell a similar item that
does the same function and sell it for less. I would bet money that very
few products would fall under that category.
