I’m selling my steam deck and a potential buyer wants my serial number to look it up. Is there any inherent danger with giving him that information or am I good to give it to him to ease his mind. I’m guessing it’s about making sure it’s not stolen lol
What would a potential buyer even do with the serial number?
Verify the property is not reported stolen .
“Dear Steam Support, im buying xy used Steam Deck please confirm It Is a genuine device serial Number for xy device also would Like to know when it was bought. Thanks” Depending on how forthcoming the support is he may even get confirmation if the steam deck was linked to the account Information probably provided by the seller depending on data privacy regulations.
No need to be paranoid. I would do it like this to confirm seller ain’t ripping you off before even considering paying in advance.
