Verifying the warranty status and checking a device has not been reported as stolen is essential for a healthy second hand Steam Deck market.

Currently users must message steam support with a serial number and hope the agent verifies the Deck’s warranty status.

Please create a way for users to enter a serial number and view the warranty status of the device, similar to Apple’s “check coverage” web page.

It is in Steam’s financial best interests to be facilitating the second hand steam deck market. More active owners = more games purchased.
