I've been looking for second hand steam decks on places like Craigslist, but on Facebook marketplace I see plenty of steam decks from $100-140.
Some of the listings look like obvious scams because it's a second hand website from the same few sellers with new accounts.
But some of them have similar prices and are from not new accounts, should I check if any of them are good or should I assume all of them are too good to be true?
I don't know how I would be scammed if they don't ask for money initially, especially since I can see it in person.
~$100 Steam Decks on FB Marketplace

FB Marketplace sets its own prices for the most part. If I were selling my steam deck I’d check for current listings and ebay listings and set my price based upon that.
As such, you could score a deal on the not-obviously-scam accounts. They probably set their price based upon the scam accounts without looking too closely since they weren’t buying.
I have never seen a valid SD deal for less than $300. If less than $250, they are obviously scams.
All of those are scams, I know which ones you were talking about.
