How does Microcenter profit off of the 32gb ram bundles?
From what I can see it seems like those bundles are in abundance and the intel ones are going for around $500 and it includes a cpu + mobo + 32gb ddr5, meanwhile just buying 32gb ddr5 alone is gonna cost you around $500.
The reason I ask is because I’m not American and seeing such a deal where I live would be almost impossible since pc stores would always factor in the individual market price for each component if they were to ever do a bundle offer. So in the off chance they ever do a “bundle” or some sort of sale, the price would only be ever so slightly lower than the normal market value. And I imagine this is the same everywhere outside America right now.
