A straightforward two-stage game is evolved to form amount and retail service affray under two positions, one where retail Dealership function under exclusivity and one where retail Dealership can deal both products. It is shown that welfare is higher under exclusivity in circulation when the move cost without exclusivity passes that under exclusivity and intra-product and in-store affray are intense. Our outcome call for a comprehensive investigation of the antitrust remedy of exclusive considering when interrelated with the provision of retail service and show, for a class of demonstrations, that more affray may be detrimental to welfare.

In alignment to exploit this benefit, retail Dealership require to better utilize their salespeople.
