Of course it goes in sale after I just bought one.

Contact steam. I seen on reddit they said they can't reimburse the sale part, but they can return the money on your steam wallet, takes the sale price and leave the difference there.

I'll have to try that and see if it works.

Can't you return it and buy one at the reduced price?

Or just contact Valve customer service, I've heard they are actually pretty good. I bet they would just refund the difference.

I did so when I bought before the steam sale. They credited my steam wallet with the diff (not quite a true refund, but shrug)

If you're in the return window then this is good for the seller too, because of you return it and buy a new one then the seller will have sold it to you at the lower price AND now they have a unit they have to inspect and sell as used now.

i did this and got the discount the last time it was on sale. it was easier to take store credit but they will refund money too
