You're part of the problem.
I literally cannot be part of the problem, because: first, I don't buy from scalpers, never have, never will. And secondly, Valve doesn't recognize me as a customer. For Valve I don't exist. So, no, I'm not part of the problem. I'm just pointing out the big elephant in the room. Valve's hardware supply and commerce chain sucks ass. And they will keep being abused by scumbag scalpers if they don't fix it.
