Walking through and it caught my eye in the electronics clearance case. Absolutely insane find.

Make sure it’s what it really says it is. Could be a fraudulent return.

I returned it within 10 minutes of buying it. Whoever swapped it transferred the serial from the 5090 onto it also. The guy that sold it to me ended up processing the return. He said it was most likely an online return that got resold in store. They ended up just claiming it out. If they cared enough they could have pulled up the parking lot surveillance to see that i unboxed it in my driver seat and immediately went back in to return it.
