    My math may be off but they are barely making any money and in at least one case they are losing money. I saw a listing for SteamDeck Oled Limited Edition for as low as $837. Subtract eBay’s 13% fee which would be about $109 and that comes out to $728. That’s about $2 less than what I paid with taxes.

    Thing is as of 2023 if you sell more than 600$ on Ebay, you will be required to fill out a 1099k so the government can get their 15.9% tax on the income after Ebay gets their 13% on the sale. So at 1099$, they are making 863.28 on a deck that costs at least 720 after tax. That is not worth the effort, nor is it moral to charge someone almost double to make 140$.

    People want to flip it and make money over people really want it, new bots accounts won’t be able to buy it to the limits to get one.
