And the controllers alone are $300 USD on eBay also

I think scalpers in general might face hard times going forward. The demand isn't there at that price. I think all game machines going forward will struggle with sales because of it. GTA6 will not meet expectation because people can't afford the machines they planned to buy when they got cheaper

Who and why are ppl buying? I rather wait or buy elsewhere. Sure its steam but,... They will restock at some point probably

The people buying from them are just as stupid tbh.

Tell me about it

Every single presale or preorder listing on Ebay is violating their TOS and can be reported.

The cheek to add a delivery fee as well.

I know it's unlikely to happen, but would love to see this type of scalping made illegal.

well, just leave them with their inventory. they'll have to get rid of them sooner or later. it's a matter of attrition now.

I was honestly on the fence about dropping more than a stack on another gaming PC, so it was kind of a relief to be wait listed. I hope these boxed steam machines sit on scalper shelves until their estate sales.

There needs to be laws regarding resale of newly released goods, this has been ridiculous, and isn't getting any better. Maddening is an understatement.

They exist because they have customers. So, please, don't give them a single penny. Just wait...

Seriously How on Earth do they get them?
