Search Steam controller on ebay. Set minimum price for msrp.
There are hundreds.
I hope valve finds them and cancels their orders and bans everything about them.
Scalpers are scum.

So I checked this out, because a few people have said there are a ton of listings on ebay.
On ebay.de, searching for “Steam Controller 2026” in the EU there are three results, along with a bunch of old controllers and unrelated stuff. ebay.com has less than 20 results (plus a bunch of unrelated stuff again).
Where do people see all these?
Just searching for “Steam Controller,” not changing any other filters I get 500+ results and 2k+ results, but almost all of these are the old controllers, other 3rd party controllers, Steam Links, accessories, etc. Do people just take those numbers and think there really are so many scalpers?

When I just search exactly just steam controller, then filter price to over 100 usd, there’s several hundred results, some of which are the original one, but the vast majority are not.
Try ebay.com, rather than .de? A lot of the listings I saw were from Australia.

It’s basically the same.
Just searching “Steam Controller,” minimum price $100, item location worldwide, sending to some zip code in Los Angeles (originally it was set to Germany) like 400+ listings, but less than 25 of the new controllers. All the others are the old ones, those Hori licensed Steam controllers, Steam Links, 3rd party controllers, flight sim stuff, etc. (I stopped scrolling after page 4, since the new controllers stopped very quickly).
Shipping from Australia makes sense (which I also see), since there seems to have been not as big of an interested there. I saw posts mentioning how they casually grabbed one, hours after launch with no fuss there.

Yeah same. Just checked again, nowhere near as many listings. Maybe it was all one person and they got banned
