Is it permissible to pre-determine the profit margin for a commercial party and stipulate that they sell at a specific price without considering the profit of others?

It is not permissible for the seller to obligate the buyer to a specific price below which he will not sell; because that contradicts the essence of the contract, which entails transferring ownership of the sold item to the buyer and allowing him to dispose of it as he wishes, and to sell it at the price he desires, not the seller.
