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?

    I priced it at $265, if you look at recently sold prices, 279$ is what others have been paying

      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.
