Thanks to boats, scalepers, and even more boats, companies have been implementing strange ways to enter GPUs into the hands of fans over the past few months. We have seen the opportunity to buy the card ‘win’ Lot lottery, we have seen that the customers return the GPU to defeat the scalping market, and we have seen that the customer is buying the RTX 50 Series GPU through the discard. However, it seems that a store in Japan has implemented a very specific and extremely incredible method of controlling it as to how its GPU is being used.
As reported Videovards (And attributed to a post on Webu), a Japanese shop has taken potential users to inform them that they will not sell RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs to those who want to leave Japan.
In an electronics store in Osaka, a memo was seen below the mark for Zotac RTX 5090, which, when translated almost Trasspress with Google, says “RTX 5090/RTX 5080 is sold only to users for use in Japan.
In the electronics store, Zotak RTX is sold at 5090 2 452,800, which is about $ 3,170. This price includes sales tax, though individuals with foreign passports can apply for tax -free purchases on many retailers while paying more than 5,000 ($ 30).
Some tourists can choose to buy their GPUs due to lack of sales tax and take advantage of DIPs in the price of yen. Exterior. , Many tourists in this store are picking up cards to bring or sell home, as it is cheaper (or more easily available to pick up from home).
However, no information has been given about how this policy can be implemented. This is not explained by the tourists, so a test will not work enough, and it is likely to ask for proof of a store’s accommodation before allowing someone to buy something. Before it is mentioned that a Japanese resident can potentially buy a card for a potential buyer and give it to them outside the store – you know, as the teenager is walking his arm to drink alcohol to impress his friends.
RTX 30 Series Cards, UK Electronic Sellers, Overclinks UK, have stopped sales to the United States due to high demand, and recent rates have also stopped sales of the RTX50 series sent to the United States, but you can still buy a card in the UK and you will still want to buy a card in the UK. This new policy in Japan is quite different because it is about preventing consumers from buying in the physical shop.
According to the video, some Japanese stores chose to deny consumers wanting to buy GPUs without sales tax, but tourists still bought cards at a full price. Some tourists are reportedly aware that it is cheaper for Japan to fly and buy cards in their home country, even with sales tax involved at a cost.
Nevertheless, the store is probably putting a metaphorical line in the sand here, even if it seems very difficult to implement in any real way.
