So many retailers and online vendors carry Festool products and everyone of them sells for the same price.Same with Leigh jigs and accessories.Same with Akeda but in this case there's only one vendor and thatvendor sells the jig at a higher price than 'suggested retail'.What has happened to competitive pricing on these products?

It's called MAP. Minimum Advertised Pricing. Since I am involved with a retail company, I am quite familiar with it. We are free to sell below MAP, but the mfg is free to not sell us any more product.

Why is it that.....

Quite true but it appears that was not the case here. Sounds more likely that the guy got screwed on the price of a car and is trying to justify it.
