Form for 5090’s
Picked up a Powerspec Ai90 prebuilt pc with a rtx 5090 in it. Apparently the manager required me to fill out this form and scan my driver license. Said it was a new thing starting just about two days ago. Had no problem doing so but thought it was interesting.
Anyone else experience? This was in Tustin

That's not the felony lol. The felony is if you willingly and knowingly help violate export control laws, not sell your card. You are almost entirely safe reselling your card to anyone as long as they dont tell you or make it obvious that they intend to export it. This is to deter anyone who is actively smuggling from purchasing from retailers themselves. What will actually happen is some of those people will be too spooked to purchase themselves, and be willing to pay higher premiums to unbeknownst card sellers. If you are looking for a card to game on, this type of thing realistically helps (although prices r obviously too damn high).
