I disagree. I believe the unintended consequence could be counterfeit products in the supply chain.

Haha, D) Decrease in profits? Yeah, right. That's what they want you to think! This is all about maximizing those sweet, sweet profits, my friends.

I agree with you, Tamekia. Selling at different prices can lead to gray market products.

I'd have to go with B). Gray market is just the fancy term for 'people buying cheap overseas and reselling it at home'. Happens all the time with this kind of pricing strategy.

A) Counterfeit products is a good guess too. When you have that kind of pricing disparity, it creates incentives for counterfeiters to get in on the action.

B) Gray market products in the supply chain seems like the most likely answer here. Selling at different prices in different countries is just begging for gray market goods to pop up.
