    A price setting game is considered. The set of mixed strategy Nash equilibria are such that at least two players choose marginal cost with probability one. In a special case where only finitely many prices are feasible, there is a unique Nash equilibrium with the property that the strategies are not weakly dominated. Here each player chooses the smallest price greater than marginal cost.
