When you know that the link isn't valid for an item that was never being sold for that price, then you could potentially be prosecuted for fraud.You still didn't answer my question. How does a valid link become fraud? If it was in stock at microcenter I would have went and paid $67 for a 290.
It was never in stock at MC for $67, it was never sold for that price, and the only way to present it to a cashier at any other store was to deliberately not choose a store from the drop down box, take a paper print out of the item so that it appeared to be sold somewhere, and hope that the cashier wouldn't try to verify it on another computer where the link wouldn't be accessible.
Pay attention to my explanation above your post here: the listing isn't accessible through the MC website. It's an internal page that is being cached by Google. You only knew about it because a thread like this posted it, but try to find it through their website and it's not possible. That's why people were saying to take it in on their phones or print it out on paper...so the cashier couldn't verify what everyone in this thread knows to be true--the item doesn't exist for sale at that price (or any price at all, the item is an old stock product that is no longer for sale).
