I’m selling my steam deck and a potential buyer wants my serial number to look it up. Is there any inherent danger with giving him that information or am I good to give it to him to ease his mind. I’m guessing it’s about making sure it’s not stolen lol

    This is done all the time for consoles when people are looking for a specific hardware revision.

    Fear-mongering about him reporting it stolen is way over the top. This guy probably wants to make sure it either isn’t stolen, wants a specific hardware revision, or wants to make sure you haven’t upgraded any of the components (eg selling the base-model with an upgraded SSD as the higher model).
