You are right, the "list" should usually equate to the MSRP, but in
Amazon's case, I think they are making up a price even higher than
that. I don't think Delta would put out an MSRP of 800 bucks for a
portable planer. I could be wrong though...

For what it's worth, Amazon says they don't just make it up:

"Except where noted otherwise, the List Price displayed for products on
our website represents the full retail price listed on the product
itself, suggested by the manufacturer or supplier, or estimated in
accordance with standard industry practice. The List Price is a
comparative price estimate and may or may not represent the prevailing
price in every area on any particular day."
