The members of the major league sports are in an oligopsony. There are many young men (particularly men) who would like to play professional Basketball, football and Baseball, but there are only a few major league teams on which they can play. Although the major league baseball teams have "farm" clubs, these too are limited in number.

Oligopsony, like oligopoly is also a matter of definition. If I live in New Nowhere, Kansas then there are no teams for which I can play without serious dislocation. On the other hand, if I live on the east coast, between Washington, DC and Boston then I am facing an oligopsonistic market.

In agriculture, farmers faced with oligopolistic buyers sometimes get together to form collective selling organizations (co-ops) to limit competition among themselves.
