Price fixing is widely done in electronics.

The method used is that a franchised disti selling at an unauthorised price gets the franchise pulled. I have this directly from people in the business. It is the oldest trick in the book.

Price maintenance is everywhere :)

Yes, and recently I got a BIIIG check from the resistor indirect class action suit, and a smaller check from the capacitor suit.  The cause was exactly price fixing and collusion.

Very funny.

Resistors and capacitors are doing just fine. 0805 are back to 0.001 GBP.

FPGA prices, OTOH, are still almost twice what they should be. :(

I've heard on the grapevine that demand for FPGAs is way up after Russian invasion of Ukraine.  Lots more missile systems, thermal cameras, radars etc.
