I’m not a scalper so idk what is normal, but I wouldn’t think it would be smart to buy something $300 over face value in an attempt to resell it for more? Especially hardware that is already long in the tooth internally. Aaaand from Valve who typically has consistently restocked these over time.
Idk though maybe there is a market for $1300 SD OLED resellers 🤷♂️

Used Decks were priced very far above MSRP on Facebook Marketplace a couple weeks ago. I assume that means that the demand is there.

That’s awful. I wish valve would limit it to one per account and just be done with it.

Anything to create scarcity in the market. If they can buy high and sell it to some idiot that pays higher, thats all they care about.

If you search the old ones on ebay, the scalpers all have photos with a room full of steamdeck boxes
