    🙄 anyone paying $3000 is just a rube with too much money, lol.

    It looks like a nice machine, don’t get me wrong, but you can do better elsewhere if willing to spend that much $$$.

    It is against eBay’s TOS to sell an item not physically in possession.

    Report every single one of these as a violation

    There really aren’t that many listings on eBay for it. I think Valve largely handled the pre-order system with wisdom. Verified accounts with previous purchases, no more than 1 per household, and a raffle for the literal pre-order slot.

    What’s telling is how many are actually sold, which by my count is 11. That’s pretty damn low.

    Are these the prices on completed transactions, or are they just idiots making a listing with that price?
