I am looking to purchase a good bit of Festool products and was wondering if bundle pricing is available? Or, maybe what I am looking to purchase is available in some sort of kit form? I figure if i'm going to spend a small fortune, saving a few $$ would be nice.

Here is what I am looking to purchase

Kapex - 575306
Domino - 576423
Domino connector range KV-SYS D8 - 576797
Tenons Assortment - 576794
Rotex - 576028
Rotex handle - 495188
Abrasive Set SYS STF D150 GR - 577110
Base TSB/1-MW 1000 - 203457
CT CYCLONE CT-VA-20 - 204083
Screwdriver and drill bit set TID 18 HPC I-Set TPC 18/4 - 576996

Suction hose D36x3,5m-AS/CTR - 204924
Boom Arm Set CT-ASA/SB 26/WHR Set - 203151

Would love to see the Kapex saw and stand combo discount come back so I could pick up a new one

Not saying this is right, but there used to be a few online dealers that did not charge sales tax on out of state purchases.

Not only is the percentage of sales tax different from state to state, but also what is and what is not taxed.   For example, in Ohio if I use a fork truck to move pallets from the loading dock to the factory floor, the purchase of the fork truck is not taxed.  If I use the same fork truck to move from loading dock to a warehouse, the purchase is taxed. 

In the same state of Ohio, if i replace a starter on my car I and there is a core fee if I do not take in the old starter, I am charged sales tax for that core charge.  If I take the old starter in the next day, I do NOT get refunded the sales tax.  To avoid sales tax the starter has to be returned when I pick up the new starter.   

Every state is different, and the law is very complicated.  The laws are written by lobbyists that have never ran a company that actually produces things, they just know how to apply the leeches. 

That's very true, but they have missed one very important one. I can't believe that someone hasn't figured out the thing about aluminum can/plastic bottle deposits. They don't require any kind of proof of where they were purchased, yet they still "refund" the money.

Depends.

California just charged a group of people for doing that to the tune of $7.6M  across the Arizona border:

I heard about that the other day. That's a huge exploitation of the system and bound to be detected.
I learned about this about 20 years ago, while going to NASCAR races. We would bring beer and soda cans from Ohio and take them to Michigan (where a 10cent deposit is paid) The known custom was to throw them on the ground near the trash cans, which made it easier to collect them, rather than digging in the trash.
Events like this, which would draw 200k people, absolutely had to skew the percentage of pay-out vs actually paid-in, for a few weeks.
Someone going to the extent of multi-millions of dollars is just asking for trouble. It has to be legal to turn in cans that you didn't buy, but at some point it becomes fraud of some kind.

When I was a kid, all bottled drinks came in returnable glass. A 5 cent deposit was paid at the time of purchase. Cans were a non-issue at that time, recycling was years in the future. Most cans were steel anyway and no one ever talks about recycling that.
Glass was replaced by plastic and sizes started growing too. Two-liter bottles took soda out of the single-serving game too.
Back in the 80s, aluminum cans were recycled on a "by the pound" basis. Cans paid a different rate than other types of aluminum.
We haven't had a deposit scheme in Ohio, since the glass days, and that was driven by the bottlers. They wanted to re-fill them, not melt them down and make them into something else.

I've often wondered how the "recycle" cycle is more efficient and conservative than the "return, wash and refill" cycle. I never quite understood how the bottlers moved away from re-use bottles.

I spent a couple years in Germany and bouncing around the EU. Out there, the grocery stores have machines to return glass adn plastic bottles. Once processed, it will spit out a slip with a credit to use at the store.

The machines performed a quick wash and sorted the material. Quite interesting to see.
