I’ve been trying to sell my deck (64gb, like new, only 3 months old) for a couple weeks now. Marketplace, Swappa, OfferUp… But I get zero bites. It’s in excellent condition, with screen protector and no controller drift and I’ve priced it lower than others I’ve seen sell. I have pictures of all sides, with it on and showing a game. I’m wondering what I need to do to sell it, what am I missing?
I want to get the new deck, but unload this one first, it’s more than $100 cheaper than I got it for which means way less than the new decks are going for.
Any suggestions? Or is nobody buying used decks now?
It could be a combination of other people wanting the new Steam Deck or them thinking $100 off is not worth a possible risk when there are Steam sales (where I think Steam Decks go on sale as well) and refurbished models being listed on Steam
Hard to say without seeing a listing. If needs to be priced aggressively because most of the demand now will be for the OLED version. The market is probably saturated with regular Decks.
Considering officially refurbished Steam Decks are already a lot cheaper and they are checked for functionality/repaired if necessary and also come with fresh warranty, only going down $100 from the original asking price likely doesn’t get your listing a lot of attention.
I think with the recent price drop of the LCD models and the launch of the OLED ones, the 64GB LCD one is in a very tough place. I’ve sold my 256GB LCD one for only 200€. I’ve could have gotten much more a week before the OLED announcement but then I had no motivation to sell it in the first place. I wanted to upgrade to OLED and that’s where I am now.
