Educate me on (hidden) prices

There are also certain guidelines from the manufacturer that control what a distributor can charge for the product. They keep their own pricing private so that the manufacturer cannot see what they are charging. I know this is the case sometimes, probably not the WHOLE reason though.

Yep, it depends on the particular part manufacturer. Some manufacturers don't want prices being advertised that are below MSRP, others don't care. You'll see some adds here with the discounted prices shown, and some without.
