Question on Amazon - vnila - 12-31-2018
Hello!
Amazon has a warning, "Serial Number Scan -This product has a serial number that uniquely identifies the item. When your order ships, Amazon will scan the serial number and add it to the history of the order. Should the item go missing before it arrives, Amazon may register the serial number with loss and theft databases to prevent fraudulent use or resale of the item. There is no action required from you and the serial number will only be used to prevent fraudulent activity associated with the missing item."
Should I be worried of this? Wanted to get a GPU.

How are you planning to do it? , Your plan will depend on whether to worry or not, but really i think what they are doing with for example a GPU is saying "Don't send us back a broken one, we'll know" or in the case of stuff like a phone/xbox/ps4 , they'll brick it with the online services.

Given It's a GPU, you have nothing to worry about.
As opposed to a phone, It will not render the Item futile. You can still sell It- you just need to be selective "where".
