FYI, I'm guessing your inclusion of the words "price error" in your OP is triggering price mistake alerts for many, myself included. Might be too late to do anything about it.

Wondering the same. Does it consist of buying the combo, returning the motherboard and buying an open box one?

The combo has cpu, mobo and ram. Add the exact cpu & ram, and an open box mobo to cart, and magic happens.
Does it discount equal only the difference between a new and open box mobo or is it more factors?

I added exact CPU, RAM, and an open box of this same motherboard.
The price in cart turned to:
CPU: Intel 12600KF $72.66
RAM: Gskill 16gb $2.47
Mobo: MSI Z790-P Pro $167.96
Subtotal: $243.09
Costing more than the $232.99 for this deal with everything new.

Adding the mobo new and removing the open-box one, it came to:
CPU: $72.66
RAM: $2.47
Mobo: $139.86
Subtotal: $214.99

Is there a different trick or it only applies in-store?
