I will be traveling for work more now so I am looking to get a steam deck for on the go. I was looking to save some money and pick up a used one or a refurbished one. People are posting them for more then what they cost new on fb market place and they aren’t going that much cheaper on eBay. So why are people selling/ buying for this. I know what they are posted for does not mean they sold for that much but a few add have been taken down so presumably they sold. Am I missing something or are people not willing to wait 2 weeks to get one. I am in Canada if that matters.
Scalpers basically. They probably do go on sale for cheaper on places like ebay sometimes but they will quickly be bought up to be resold at a higher price.
I would just buy a new one if you can’t find a used one for like half the price. I would just buy new anyways so you have the warranty and there isnt any wear to the device. There is no way to really know how well its been taken care of.
