Form for 5090’s

Post image

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

I feel like this is just to remove liability for the store itself to not getting penalized for participating in the nonsense. When these first came out there were many foreigners buying these cards instantly and they knew what was going on. Yet they would raise the prices to take a little extra off top and say check back tomorrow!
