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.

They lasted 40 minutes before they sold out. Anyone willing to pay over retail had more than enough time to buy one themselves.
Actually all the devices were temporarily sold out, why that is, either a glitch in the system, or they basically periodically threw orders out which did mass ordering of devices instead of blocking it upfront.
Either way good to see that the scalpers get shafted!
One lesson I last learned last time if you are in for a Valve sales rush, you need patience and good nerves, they really play every unknown trick in the book to get bots of their heels worked out this time as well, by simply retrying until it worked. Also paypal is the worst paying system for such a case, they seemed to have limited their transactions because valve gave them the “overload”, next time I will know that and pay directly via CC upfront instead of trying to pay over paypal!
