Micro Center pricing

They can just keep the cards as far as I'm concerned. Scalpers, miners, mfg. costs....whatever, not paying $2000 for a video card, I just won't buy new games that require them.

If you're unhappy about it, blame Trump. He thought trade wars were easy to win.

MRSP ! ... Is this how the tariffs work ?
I didn't know the MRSP went up ... my bad!

So, everyone world wide has to pay our tariffs ?
That can't be right ...

This isn't tariff related ... it's something else ....

Is that their worldwide MSRP or just for the US? Since tariffs aren't a line item on receipts, I could see them rolling the cost directly into the US MSRP.

That’s a US site thing, whole world doesn’t get pricing in dollars.
Yes that is how tariffs work.
If we sell a jar for $20.00 and a $10.00 tariff gets applied our choices are either to eat the tariff ourselves or pass it along and make the jar cost $30, maybe something in between but regardless either the consumer pays more or we earn less.

Or we can just burn down MC like on May 28th and just call it a peaceful Portland protest?
