ok,, I consider it WRONG to go back to dealer a.. You asked them fair and square to give a bid. Both dealers had an equal chance. Both dealers spent time and money..
Now you decide you dont like dealer b and ask dealer a to match it.
If a lots of worlds this could be illegal, assuming your a business as well and supposidlly doing fair trade, no bias, no religious, race, or origin involved.. No family, cousins brothers, buddies or friends. All very much illegal in some cases, especially if your a government, city, county, big business, doing gov contracts etc. It could get you in violation of serveral laws,, collusion, price fixing, and others.
Yes, your probably just an individual and may not be subject to the same rules as big business, and goverments.. And your bids did not come in the way you wanted.
But in business ethics, you should honor the low bid if it meets your requirements as bid. I cannot tell you what to do, but next time dont ask for bids if your not going to honor them. I have been on both sides and have had my bids, designs, and material lists handed off the competition to match and beat by a dollar when in fact I was low bid. However as the huge utility, we seldom pursued it as that large customer would be forever an enemy, and we looked at them as potential customers forever. However on a lot of the government/city/ school district bids, there were plenty of folks caught, and prosecuted due to bid rigging to a friend or ironically a relative. Business law and business ethics were unheard of in the smaller and rural communities and it repeated itself every couple of years in the same areas. We finally quit bidding any of the close border areas, as we were tired of doing the design and then having them give it away to a relative. Even had then try to get my subs to come on board with their "brother". Our subs always refused as they would or could lose a much bigger business with us if they violated any laws. Back to you.. if your asking what you should do, the answer is clear.
