Looks like you will have to pinky promise you won't export your RTX 5090 if you buy a gaming PC from Micro Center now
With price gouging and some buyers exporting graphics cards to China, Micro Center is reportedly making customers swear they won't do the same. And with a signed declaration, it's maybe a bit more airtight than a pinky promise.
AI Summary
Micro Center is now requiring customers to sign an anti‑export declaration that pledges they will not ship graphics cards abroad. The policy was revealed by Reddit user Krothic, who purchased a Powerspec Ai90 prebuilt PC containing an RTX 5099 from the Tustin, California store. According to the store manager, the declaration was implemented only a few days earlier. The form replaces informal “pinky promises” with a signed pledge to curb price‑gouging and overseas resale.
