Procurement Lead Advisory: Don't Feed the Reseller Bots
Before paying inflated eBay/StockX premiums, check brick-and-mortar & regional authorized channels like
Central Computers, Micro Center, B&H Photo, and CDW Commercial.
Authorized channels maintain strict anti-scalping purchase quotas and MSRP backorders.
