Valve honestly did an amazing job with the waves of Limited Edition releases. I’ve seen the average price on eBay drop from $1100 to $800/750 in the past hour.

    I think it’s fine to sell one unit overseas, but if you do, don’t be crazy. I think a 20-30% mark up is reasonable, especially if it’s an LE to say the UK or Australia where it’s hard to get them.

    Don’t think steam decks are even available to Australia outside of the Grey markets x x.

    10% goes to eBay in taxes.

    I reckon international shipping would be customs cost (tax) + about 70-80$

      To make it worth it should be a profit of $150 IMO.

      I paid $720 after sales tax for my LE.

      I’d have to sell it for $950 and charge shipping cost to make $100 profit. That’s roughly 11% margin, and 30% markup would only be $882, that would be $44 gained at 5% margin.

      I’m keeping mine but just as an example.
