I remember hearing an interview on ABC radio a few years ago with a Dairy farmer from near Murray Bridge (SA)

Seems he put his dairy farm on the market which came with a Coles contract.
He was approached by a rep from Coles with a price that was way under what he wanted.

When he refused he was told that if he didn't take them up on the offer the contract might not be there for the next owner.
Now exactly extortion but awfully close, as he said that without the contract it would be much harder to sell the property.
