This is actually a common thing and has been around for awhile. I see it on amazon mostly. Seen it on Microcenter's website a number of times as well. Newegg was big on doing it when they were more PC focused and not a chinese website. Was more prominent in the early 2000s as there were more competing online stores back then.
