It might be what's called a loss-leader - they don't make any money on it, perhaps even sell at a slight loss in order to get you in the door in the first place. The the rest of the gear is at regular price, if not higher

I could be wrong, of course - just a possibility I mentioned because I know some companies do that.

Could be that they import the CPUs directly.

Ive seen places that only give a 1 year warrantee on AMD cpus instead of the 3 year standard one.

Imported directly, lower import tariffs, buy in large quantities? Or what maxxis and Thrall suggested.

Sahara offer the full 3 year warranty on their boxed AMD's. The tray's however only come with a 1 year warranty.

Does anyone know who else imports XFX besides AXIZ?

AXIZ never has stock of anything these days. Most of the time I don't mind paying the 10% premium to go somewhere else where I don't have to wait a week or two for availability.
