Talk:Average wholesale price

Comment
I saw that this article has not citing, but I had previously read the same text from this article: http://www.nhpf.org/pdfs_ib/IB775_AWP_6-7-02.pdf. I am new to Wikipedia and do not know how to correct the article. I figure if I leave the citation address, someone who knows could help out and fix the main article.

AWP and Sticker Price
The obvious problem with the car "sticker price" analogy is that the cars "sticker price" is a retail price whereas AWP is a wholesale price representation. This is a bad analogy created and propagated by those with an incorrect understanding of the real economics involved. This analogy should be abandoned. --156Wiki (talk) 19:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't know how to edit the page properly, but after the acronym, the last sentence about AAWP isn't correct. AAWP is a proprietary benchmark published by Medi-Span (http://www.medispan.com/payers-pricerx.aspx), which is owned by Wolters Kluwer (http://www.medi-span.com/about-us.aspx).

I disagree with the previous user's comment about sticker price, since AWP is almost always used as a benchmark for US *retail* pricing, less applicable discounts. I don't know what would constitute a sufficient citation to demonstrate this though - expert testimony from one of the AWP class action lawsuits? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.230.162.220 (talk) 04:17, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
