- Scalpers are attempting to resell Valve's Steam Frame for up to $2,000, targeting buyers stuck on the device's waitlist, per UploadVR.
- The community is actively pushing back against the scalping and scamming activity, a counter-effort highlighted by IGN's coverage of the same story.
Why it matters: For waitlisted Steam Frame buyers, the scalper activity means facing asking prices up to $2,000 — a steep premium over retail — though the community-organized pushback could blunt scalper margins and keep units accessible to actual enthusiasts.
