Would they like to pay out $100 for every item out there in the retail
chain, or $110 for only the customers who buy "one" during the rebate
period, you mean?
On your last comment, I have always wondered why a manufacture would
offer a rebate on a product that is not available on the market. The
only thing I can think is to drive up a false demand so the retailer
will order them when they become available, but that seems rather
Machiavellian.

That sounds like complete bollocks. Would a manufacturer prefer to
process 2 million claims from end-users, or 10,000 claims from retailers?
There are pros and cons to rebates just as there are to about
anything, but if you are going to buy the item anyway, a rebate is a
nice bonus.
Whenever I try buying anything, the biggest bonus is if it's actually
in stock...
