Anyone ever notice most of the products on Amazon have their price and also a regular "list" price. Then they tell you how much you are saving off of list. Where the heck do they get these prices? For example, the Delta 22-580 planer they have for $349. List price $788? Who has ever payed this? How about the DeWalt DW735 planer for $499. List price $860? I don't think so. My favorite, the Hitachi M12V router. Amazon has it for $159, which is waaaay below the list price of $541! Wow a 70% savings, they are practically giving it away! I know they just make this up, but what's the point of doing this in the internet age? Who's fooled by it? Maybe the same ones who are waiting for their lump sum from the Nigerian prince?
