Scalpers are already reselling the new Steam Controller

Today, Valve released the new Steam Controller in North America, Asia, and Europe. The controller was revealed to be $99, if you are lucky enough to get one right away. It didn’t take long for scalpers to get their hands on them, as they are already reselling them on eBay.

Listings have been seen with prices over $250 and $300 in some cases. Not only have there been listings for the Steam Controller at insane prices, but people have been purchasing them at insane prices.

Nintendeal shared a screenshot on Twitter of a few sales that were $250 each:

It’s hard to get a pre-order in right now for the Steam Controller. The official Valve listing is currently out of stock.

As shown in the screenshot below, there are even more listings starting at unbelievable prices:

Scalpers have been a big topic in 2026. It starts with the Pokémon Trading Card Game scene, where it’s almost impossible to place orders for sets. Retailers have tried to combat it, but it almost feels impossible at this point. Valve has not indicated if there will be more Steam Controllers going up for sale anytime soon. For the sake of scalpers, we can only hope that more will be coming up soon.

In other news, GameStop is preparing an offer to acquire eBay in a deal worth at least $56 billion.
