It's not price fixing, it's called "minimum advertised price".

Dealers can sell it for whatever they want, they just can't advertise
below a set price. I have two local guys who routinely discount
Delta, Jet, Powermatic, etc... You just have to walk in to see the
price. Some dealers are also negotiable.

It's also why some tool and electronics dealers ask you to call or
email for the price. Sometimes it's not just a come on, it's part of
the dealer agreement.
