    Base model is now $789, while the Steam Machine starts at $1,049. Not really much of a surprise…

      There’s people who bought steam decks for £350 who can sell them now used for a profit after using them for only a couple years. Who needs gold?

        Selling is such a damn hassle.

        I have a OLED and an LCD. I would happily sell the LCD one, but where? Craigslist is a ghostown, my principles would never let me use facebook (for marketplace) and ebay is a big cut and shipping sucks.

        So here it sits, like brand new doing nothing.

        If you are not using it, sure. Otherwise it’d be pretty stupid.
