I just looked and the Trion is unchanged at $310.
Unless it's going down in Canada, and not in the US?

Anyone know if the generic Tanos sortainers prices will also go up at places like mysystainer.com, etc?

I'm guessing that's a typo either in the old price list or the new one!

Really not bad, IMHO. Most of them are in the 2-5% range, which really is in line with a cost of living adjustment and/or inflation, but probably based on more reality than our mythically mysterious (and largely BS) CPI formula.
The most striking and surprising to me is the Sortainers. But, whatev. No one tells us why the milk at the grocery store is over $4.00.. and Taco Bell tacos sure aren’t $0.49 anymore. And those don’t even have to travel from the otherside of the planet, nor last years and years and years (unless you count the ‘love handles’).

While I have absolutely no proof or evidence that this is true, the marketing strategy for Festool for Q1 2011 is pretty awesome. In February they sell Recon Tools, and in March they add a little price increase. So people on the fence about a particular tool, would likely jump all over the Recon Deal to save 10 or 20% plus savings over what the price increase would be. Then, I for one know that after putting a request for a Recon Tool, I was likely going to buy the tool new if I didnt win a Recon, only because I had hoped to get one and looked forward to it so much, I had convinced myself there was no way I could live without it. And people that didn't buy the Recon's, they may be likely to just buy a new tool they are on the fence about due to the price increases. Then they roll out a few new tools that everyone's going crazy about March 1. Then there is JLC Live Providence at the end of March, where I have to assume they generate a large number of sales.
Just seems to me like an awesome marketing strategy to help boost sales in the 1st Quarter of 2011. Whether it was intended that way or not, it worked on me!!
And just for the record, this is in NO WAY suggesting that Festool did something deceptive or mis-leading or anything like that, just seems like a very well thought out chronological order of events.
