Honestly, I think what this tells me is that Valve's system is working, and not a lot of scalpers have reservations.
If there were more competing scalpers, or if some guy had 200 of them he needed to move, they'd be less ambitious than triple the already very high price.
That makes sense. Even if I bought something for myself, there's still going to be a price for which I'm willing to part with it. It costs nothing to list on eBay, so why not?
