I can put my next turd up for 10k preorder on ebay. Doesn’t mean anyone is actually buying it. Unlike the shitstain that is tomshardware I actually checked and I count 4 sold units in my region, all for around 2000€ and around 25 on the US site for between $1500 and $2500. Funnily enough, some of the listings seem to be just a screenshot of the preorder form for around the same price as the actual unit. The rest of them include some form of email screenshot as “proof”, which means nothing since they are barely personalised and don’t include any actual ID or information that could be verified with Valve. I’m not losing my mind over those numbers, but it’s still hilarious how stupid some potential buyers are.
