    I usually buy used things from a local “craigslist clone” which offers a refund if You have proof that You got scammed. Once I ordered a used OnePlus 7 Pro, it wasn’t even suspiciously cheap or anything. Seller claimed everything was working and had all the accessories in the box. When it finally arrived, first thing I noticed was the missing charger, after that when I powered on the phone, the screen had a black spot and camera looked like something spilled on the phone and got inside on the sensor itself.

    I usually ask for a lot of information and additional pictures before buying anything and none of these things existed in the pictures he sent me. After sending the video etc to the website and returning the phone to the scammer, I asked him how did he remove the black spot or camera damage from the pictures. Turns out he used his friends phone which was an identical model and just sent me pictures of that. And the ones where IMEI and serial number were showing, he just took a screenshot and sent it to the other phone.

    But I also had bad experience with normal stores too. Once I ordered a S22 Ultra, brand new from a huge store. They sent me one in a box that was already opened and the phone looked like someone used it for a year and returned it. Ton of scratches and oily finger smudges and even the type c to type c cable was missing.

    Then I got a 45 Watt charger, also from a big store and it showed up in a plastic transparent bag without any original box at all. But it looked flawlessly so I kept it since I got it during a pretty nice sale anyway.

    And both of these items arrived in a sealed warehouse packaging. So the delivery guy couldn’t have done anything to them.

    Even though my country has 14 day return law, they won’t accept the item if it’s damaged. And how can I prove them that it wasn’t me who scratched up the phone? That’s why recording a video is the best thing You can do.

    OLED Experience is amazing so far.

    People are stuck in Packaged Items since launch even though they have ordered few minutes after the launch.

    Some are getting units with faulty buttons.

    Others are getting units with grainy displays or dead Pixels.

    And if those two above are too severe, You will have to send it back and wait another two weeks for a new Steam Deck!

    Let’s just hope that it’s just the “loud minority” having those issues and per 5-10k Steam Decks only a few have issues.

    Also good luck to Packaged Items peeps! Be strong, the suffering is almost over. Mine finally moved yesterday.

    I swear, If I see ONE MORE post shitting on etched or glossy screen. People have different preferences, different environments, Valve knows this and that’s why they make two models. Buy whatever You prefer, don’t feel bad about it and don’t shit on others because they chose a different model than You did. And if You feel unsatisfied with Your purchase the day You get Your Steam Deck, You have 14 days to test it in every lighting and environment possible and change Your decision.

    The guy on the other side of Reddit won’t be using Your Steam Deck. Only You will.

    Switch OLED has a 60Hz 720p 7 inch panel while Steam Deck OLED has a 90Hz 800p 7.4 inch panel. It’s a completely different panel.

    Most people will get their Steam Decks on Monday-Tuesday but from what I’ve seen on YouTube so far, it seems that Steam Deck panel looks slightly better than the one that Switch has.
