I don't get it.  As I understand it tariffs are paid by the whoever brought the product into the country.  That would be a VAR or distributor. Are you saying that the VAR is raising prices and lying about the reason?  If that was the case you could just get the same old price from a different VAR or distributor, so they wouldn't gain anything by lying about it.

'splain how the scam works.

    I’m in the process of buying a couple Supermicro servers, and I’m
    told that due to tariffs, prices have already gone up around 10%
    and will be going up another 15% on or about June 1.

    Are others running into the same thing?  It sounds like I need to
    place my order now. That’s not a trivial increase.

    We’ve also received tariff notifications from tower steel vendors,
    power supply vendors, cable vendors, and we saw Cambium increase
    prices a few months ago.  Some of these like the steel and cable
    you just eat, but potentially everything we buy except bandwidth
    may be going up.  I wonder if bandwidth suppliers will figure out
    a way to jack up prices claiming tariffs!
