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?

    You’re pricing it too high. Referb 64GB models from Valve are selling for the same price, and those come with a warranty and are verified tested from Valve.

    Plus, almost anyone buying a 64GB model will be upgrading the internal ssd, so that’s another 50-100 dollars depending on the ssd they choose.

    So honestly most people are probably not going to be interested unless its around $200 or a little more.

    If you’re not willing to cave on the price, then you’ll just have to leave it up for a long time and hope somebody comes along willing to buy it at your price.

    Rule of thumb selling used stuff: it’s never worth as much as you think/hope it is. Just take the loss and sell at a bargin. I used to do tons of garage/yard sale buying and selling, and I never bought stuff unless it was a fantastic deal, and I struggled to ever sell anything unless it was priced as a fantastic deal.
