Why would they do that?, that would scare
away potential buyers from even putting
them in their shopping carts in the first
place, no?

Seems Adorama is showing something close to list prices on their web
page now. Add an item to the shopping cart to see the real selling
price.
Back when it was all still 800 numbers and mail-order, the U.S. had some
kind of "fair trade" laws that supposedly prevented big mail-order
retailers from advertising prices below MSRP, so they wouldn't undercut
local merchants.
It actually benefited manufacturers more than local merchants.
I wonder if camera manufacturers are putting pressure on the big
internet dealers because their prices are again hurting local dealers,
which in turn would ultimately cost the manufacturers.
