If you really want to fuck with the Steam Deck scalpers, bid on the items, drive the prices up as high as they'll go, I'm talking tens of thousands of local money units if you can.

Then, when the auction is over, wait...

If the seller emails you asking for payment, tell them you'll only pay in cash and get their address... then, wait some more.

After about a week, mark the item as paid and leave positive feedback. The seller now has to pay a fuck ton of ebay fees for their sold item and if eBay follow up with you, just confirm to them you went to the sellers house and paid for the item in cash and the scalper is royally screwed.

You can even dress it up a little by emailing the scalper just before you leave the feedback and saying it was nice to meet them and thank them for being so friendly and easy transaction etc, eBay will likely read your messages so go ham, really lay it on thick and eBay will think they're just trying to get out of paying the fees.

No fucking mercy for scalpers.
