AMD 5000 Series CPUs Advertising False/Misleading Regular Price
Hey Microcenter Peeps,
First, I love this store, and not trying to be a jerk, but what on earth are you doing advertising a false/misleading regular price on Ryzen 5000 series CPUs, when we know they're selling at MSRP? A 5900X has never, and will never, be priced at $799 in a MicroCenter store. I'm really hoping this is just a situation where an intern had a bad idea they forgot to run by the boss. FTC guides against deceptive pricing 16 CFR § 233.1 may not have teeth, but there are a lot of state laws this practice could clash with too. This kind of pricing "mistake" has cost retailers some pretty large settlements. Just trying to help.

You people that live close are so lucky. I went to get a 5900x or 5950x which they said were in stock, and it is a 2 hour drive for me. All they had were 5800x's. I hate that we cannot reserve one to go pick up

Checked back and this issue seems to be resolved. Thank you!

@Brad_Isnard Happy to help! Again, thanks for the feedback.
