Valve stated that they will be sending out confirmation mails to the people in the order they made it onto the randomized reservation list as units become available. You could be extremely lucky and get your confirmation tomorrow or you could get it sometime within the year. Pretty sure that's the timeframe Valve listed and they don't seem to tell you where you made it onto the list. They also don't give you anything a seller could list as definitive proof, so the scalpers might not even have made it onto the list lol.
