Valve tried its best with the Steam Machine launch, but not even a randomized queue and limit of one device per buyer has stopped the mini gaming PC from falling victim to scalpers. Several of those lucky enough to obtain a Steam Machine reservation slot have already taken to the likes of Ebay to resell their units for prices as high as double that of the device itself. In one example, a 2TB Steam Machine with a controller is listed for $2,899.99, just over double its official $1,428 price. With many considering the Steam Machine price to already be far higher than they hoped, these listings put further strain buyers that can't wait for the next restock.
