Now official: you can buy a refurbished Steam Deck from Valve

Thanks for the offer stranger ❤️ But If I where to get one It would have been through Amazon. There is always the risk factor at hand of buying from someone you don't know unfortunately. And you don't get warranty this way, and I'm pretty sure I can get some more rights if I bought it inside EU / UK, but I would have to check carefully. I'm always sceptical about buying stuff like this from abroad.

In my country you get an extra warranty that's called reklamasjon that last for 5 years. This warranty can in some cases be lower depending on how long the product should work.. But for tech like this it's supposed to at least work for 5 years. So then you would get a full refund in that time frame if something happens that is out of your hands, that it breaks before of hardware or other things like that. It might very well be this right that Valve DO NOT want to have to think about.
