So there have been a number of deals for a 5070 Ti, 9800X3D, 32GB, 2TB system for ~$1900 so what this build has is the 5080 and 64GB of RAM. It seems like decent RAM too (DDR5-6000 from the spec sheet) but together that's like ~$350 more than the $1900 5070Ti deals and this is refurbished, not new. It certainly was never a $4000 PC at any point so that price is completely made up.

Yeah, it was never $4000, but $4100 as it's original price: https://www.microcenter.com/produ...D=_product
Why don't you check the prices of similar builds and specs, first? It's not even about the original price, but that, for $2500, this is a good enough deal, if not great.
the MSI Aegis at Costco with a 9900X, 32GB, 2TB, 5080 is $2599 and that's NEW, admittedly that's a little bit of apples and oranges but this price seems high for a refurb IMO.

There is no comparison between 9900X and 9800X3D, the former doesn't hold a candle to the latter.
Userbenchmark indicates a whopping 4% difference, but by all means please keep coping, it's hilarious.
Userbenchmark is an awful comparison for components besides what the advertised specs of a component is and entirely unreliable for benchmarking for more than a few years now (plenty of articles if you're interested through a quick Google search).
9800x3d is better solely for gaming, for example it can get upwards of 20-30fps more in 4k gaming in the same setup. The 9900x is definitely better for non-gaming usage however.
