It's not price fixing because a single individual company can't price fix within itself. It would be price fixing if that quote went out to all JD dealers in the state and/or country, and they could see that price and would all quote you the same thing. What is anti-trust/anti competitive are 'in territory' discounts. You would likely know more about this than me, but my understanding of it is that Deere corporate assigns a territory to each dealer, which is what you would expect. Thing is, selling to a customer in 'your' territory gets you, and only you, discounts of several K (say 5K). To meet your quote, another dealer would have beat your quote by 5K, and to beat your quote, their quote would have to be more than 5001 less than your dealer. If crap like that ever went on in the automotive marketplace, the fallout would be unimaginable. Fines would go right out of sight. If Deere owned all the stores, then price fixing couldn't exist, because like I said, a company can't be anti competitive within itself. Same would go for GM, Ford, etc. Luckily for the consumer, that doesn't tend to happen.
