If you buy a $3000 PC from your typical boutique PC builder they will probably do that for you. If not for free, then for a lot less than $2000 you're overpaying.

But there is nothing you are missing out on? It's not like this is a switch, or even a steam deck. It's a small form factor PC with SteamOS preinstalled.
The only reason I could think of for buying from a scalper is if you are a journalist (or similar) and need one or multiple to review/test.
They can't force people to buy SUVs, but when it's much more profitable for car companies from the USA to make SUVs, thanks to that EPA loophole, then they are going to do everything to make sure everyone "wants" SUVs.
nobody is forcing anyone to purchase these cars. they choose to do it.
Decades of ~~propaganda~~ advertisements telling people they need to buy an SUV, plus the (real or not) perceived danger of having a smaller car... that might not technically count as "manufactured consent", but imho it's not too far off.
I'm pretty sure I've heard about this a while ago and the math just doesn't math.
