The highly anticipated Steam Machine is set to launch soon, but some eager gamers are already looking to turn a profit. Despite Valve's best efforts to prevent scalping, reservations for the device are popping up on eBay, with some sellers asking for hefty markups.

This development has left many in the gaming community wondering if Valve's attempts to control the launch have been successful. While the company may have prevented scalpers from buying up devices en masse, it appears that individual reservations are still being sold for a profit.
