You couldn’t mark it up. Scalpers have taken to eBay with their Steam Deck reservations, marking up the PC handheld despite Valve’s anti-scalping efforts. There are multiple listings of the Steam Deck on eBay, all charging more than Valve’s asking price. Some listings have the hardware up for sale for over £1000. A video breakdown of the Valve Steam Deck reveal. Valve made the Steam Deck available to reserve last night with some smart restrictions aimed at combating scalpers (although some of these restrictions ran into technical issues as Valve was inundated with high demand). To combat scalpers, Valve charges a £4 „reserve now“ fee, and only people who bought something on Steam prior to June 2021 are able to pre-order the console during its first 48 hours of availability. As we’ve reported, Valve has now adjusted the availability of the Steam Deck. Try to pay for a reservation today, and you’ll be faced with a Q1 2022 expected order availability for the £349 64GB model, a Q2 2022 expected order availability for the £459 256GB version, and a Q3 2022 expected order availability for the £569 512GB model.
