I've never seen it anywhere except Woodcraft and Rockler (damned
expensive stuff). All we have for lumberyards are the BORGs and
blue-boxes. I still have to visit the hardwood dealers. They're only
open during normal business hours so it's difficult to get there.

I am paying about $22.50 per 5'x5' sheet of 1/2" And that is the high

The 1/2" Doug Fir MDO plywood I bought at Lowes a few months ago has
dropped from $79 to $71 (or $73 or $66, depending on location). If I go back to the same store, it would be $71, but they are out of stock.
However, according to the first image, the size has increased from 4' x 8' to 7.989' x 8' so I guess it's a good deal. Just not sure how I'm going to get it
home. ;-)

When I sent the chat rep the link and explained the error, the first response back was "What is your zip code?"
I told him that he doesn't need my zip code. "The image with the incorrect information is on lowes.com. Did you try the link that I sent you?"
The next response: He sent me back the link that I sent him! No words,
just the link.
Geeeez, why does this have to be so hard!
So I asked him "Why are you sending me the link that I just sent to
you? What do you expect me to do with it?"
Next response: "Please give a minute."
Next response: "Thank you for your feedback."
Chat session ends.
It was such a satisfying experience. ;-)

Actually, it is quite likely that he _did_ need your zip code; both
Lowes and Home depot will display content based on zip code (either explicitly provided by the user or by geolocating the browser IP address).
Particularly, the pricing will differ based on the zip code, as
will availability of the item.

I've notived Home Depot doing that. They typically think I want to got
to the store that's about 4th furthest away from me, instead of one of
the two local ones. I use the Lowes website less (because the local
store is closer than any Home Depot, so I'm more likely to just drive
there and look).
It also would not surprise me if certain items are not available at all
in certain areas. For me, California regulations may make them want to
hide items they can't or won't want to sell in this state. I know there
are a lot of portable generators which other websites will have notes >declaring "Not for sale in California."
For lumber I can imagine distribution is regional and the selection
and prices may vary a lot between Alabama and where ever the call
center is located.

OK Correction!!! That price just went up to about $65.
The 1/2" Doug Fir MDO plywood I bought at Lowes a few months ago has >>>>> dropped from $79 to $71 (or $73 or $66, depending on location). If I go back

However, according to the first image, the size has increased from 4' x 8' to
7.989' x 8' so I guess it's a good deal. Just not sure how I'm going to get it
home. ;-)

(I sent lowes.com a message, so maybe that will be changed soon)
Those that place the ads and or information on the web site probably
know diddly about lumber sizing.
Or make "minimum wage" and aren't too interested in doing anything
right.
I don't think pay has anything to do with it. An idiot gets paid too
much regardless of how much he is making.
You get what you pay for (in theory, anyway).
There are signs in almost every store, restaurant, and littering the
highway around here. I tell my wife that they just aren't paying
enough or are shit employers. The restaurant we go for Sunday brunch
hires all the time (mostly kids for bussing or as runners) but never
has a problem with having enough wait staff on the floor. He treats
his people right. The place is full => tips are good => service is
good => place is full. The owner doesn't screw with success.
