I'm assuming they're all scams, but why do they all have such odd prices? And why do many for the steam deck? Other consoles such as the Switch don't seem to have the same plethora of fake listings.

Anyone have any real world experience with these sellers?

Probably currency conversions from a nice round number in the scammers currency.

The first one says "Steam Deck Case" - >$100 seems a bit pricey for a used case to be honest. I think the goal is to make it look like the steam deck is for sale but it actually isnt.

Others... maybe... but I'd be skeptical and checking things in fine detail.
