you’d be surprised how many people were still trying to sell a deck for like 800 dollars when they had become available all the time instead of having to wait
Literally no one. It’s the same people in the Analogue Pocket subreddit warning of the boogie man, all these scalpers buying up inventory and stealing your girlfriend. People don’t seem to under the difference between listing or asking a price versus selling it for that price.
My dumbass coworker for some reason kept refusing to go through steam for it so he got a scalped copy, he fucked up the battery, didn’t go through steam to rma and so he wants to get a new one. Can’t help stupid
It’s not even really grey market. I don’t think valve cares if people buy decks and ship them to Australia to sell. Just like Tim tams can be bought in a ton of countries despite only being sold in Australia (I think). As long as someone else is doing the logistics, they don’t care where it gets resold.
Who the hell has been scalping widely available Steam Decks?

It’s like when people were buying nft’s expecting them to be like bit coins

They aren’t wildly available. Stock in Australia is purely from grey imports because Valve refuses to sell them here.
Same for Singapore. It’s funny how Asus and Lenovo are selling their handheld here but not Steam.

Right? The system is great for what it is. But it’s not like it was a PS5 at release.
Not widely available here in Australia. Import from third party only. Valve couldn’t give a fuck about most markets outside the US. :(
