Okay so the title pretty much explains everything. We will see in a couple of days that MSRP of Nvidia products are just an illusion.

Stocking very few amount of FE cards and in some countries it’s only AIBs so MSRP that Nvidia offers is not real but a tactic to undermine its partners and customers.

It is a problem. But it can usually be avoided with some patience. We'll see if it's worse this generation. I don't think the 5080 and lower will have the performance to justify long term MSRP fiction.

Nvidia usually lies about its MSRP. Because they hold so much power that AIB can't do anything about

By contrast AMD has to set realistic (high) MSRPs

NVIDIA’s tight GeForce RTX 50 margins put pressure on board partners: ‘MSRP feels like charity’​
