Could the shortage be getting better?

I had to swing down to my local Microcenter yesterday and while I was browsing around the store I noticed something odd... Inventory. They must have had a few dozen 5090's on the shelf in various configurations/board partners (for comparison, the last time I was there a few months ago they had 1 available for purchase and it was a AIO liquid cooled model that was absolutely off the charts expensive). They also had a few prebuilts on the floor with 5090's in them. Granted, this is one market one store, but.. IDK, perhaps some hopium.... But for anyone who wants a 5090, Microcenter in Charlotte has a bunch of them in the mid 4K range for price. Yes, that price is ridiculous, I know.

They also had 2 Pro 6000's 96GB in the store, on "sale" for 14K a pop. In case anyone is looking to spend used car money on a card. ;) I'd never seen a 96GB 6000 at my local store before available for sale.
