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

    When you sell that item to a pawn shop the first thing they do is check the serial number to verify it isn’t in some registry for stolen property.

    In most states receiving stolen property , even unknowingly, Carrie’s a pretty steep fine / jail sentence and will live on your criminal record. Hard thing to explain away even if you do everything right.
