Saw this deal and had to pick it up for $118:

Asked a friend to pick it up instore at Fairfax VA location, the sales rep was like I'm not aware this was on sale and handed him a new one but then rep is like let me go into the back and check it out.... pulled out a refurb version and said actually the $118 is just for the refurb model. As you can see nowhere on the online site did it say $118 for was the refurb, but you can find the letters "RF" in the SKU online but this was only after the salesman pointed it out to him.
That's total BS, you can't advertise a price on something online and get the customer in your store, and then be like "yaa.. about that deal.. you see the number 9 at the end of the serial.. that actually means refurb so here ya go".. That's a classic bait and switch.
Now my friend is a mild mannered guy and didn't question it but had I been there I woulda thrown a hissy-fit. That's BS some people drive a long way to get to a Microcenter. Gonna consider making the trip myself and trying to get that price on a new mobo. Am I in the right on this?
