Pressured by the lack of memory and other PC parts because AI is the worst thing to happen to humanity, Valve set the price of its Steam Machine at $1049 for the 512GB version, causing many excited fans to throw a fit on social media. However, it would appear that this price seems fine to a large number of customers, given that the device has sold out in many places around the world.
But further proof of the Steam Machine’s popularity is scalpers, who’ve been raiding eBay and other markets with the device, selling it for two or three times over its original price. As VideoCardz spotted, there are Steam Machines being sold for $2,899 on eBay, with the seller probably thinking they were justified since they offered a controller to boot.
