The initial model was sold on the Bukhari deck on EBAY for $ 2000
This is a strange thing. On EBY it seems that someone has spent $ 2000 on A. Steam The initial model sold on the auction site for $ 3000.
As mentioned before SteamdeckhqMonitor the Reddit Gary_the_memethine user, a list on the eBay website, entitled: “Early Valve Engineering 34 Orange Steam Deck 256GB, tested, please read!” The list seems to be lost now in the extensive and old network rooms on EBY, But you can still find it through sites that use the Digital Deacting House applications interface.
It seems that the device, which looks like a steam surface of retail but with circular track platforms and blue incentives, is listed for $ 3000 or the best offer. Then on April 8, someone bought the device for $ 2000, which is before the seller. At the present time, this is all we know. I have contacted Valve and the person who claims to have sold the primary steam surface model on EBAY to see if I can learn more about the device or how it was obtained. I have not heard yet from both sides.

Looking at the published images to Reddit by user Gary_the_memachineA tyro -steam surface has been marked with a poster on its back saying “Engineering 34.” The front and back of the device is formed differently from the steam surface of retail and the upgraded OLED model. It seems that it lacks the right control stick. Oh, and the poster mention on his back that this alleged initial model is not intended to sell it. Obus!
Steamdeckhq Other reports indicate that the seller claimed that the initial model does not contain an installed operating system and a subscriber of the device’s introduction to the device with more information about it.
Perhaps this is a complex fake. This is possible. But I believe that a preliminary model of a real Bukhari deck was sold online and I was curious about how Valve feels about it.
