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 feel like selling it internationally is your best bet. Find someone in Australia and sell it to them for fair shipping.

    Selling it locally is just going to make you tear your hair out. You’re trying to sell a popular device that has just had a refresh and a fair sale, outside of Facebook Marketplace or somewhere where a buyer is, quite frankly, not knowledgeable, I feel like your chances are just very slim.

    On the other hand, Australian’s are looking at ~$1,200 AUD for a “new” high model that someone else bought and supposedly didn’t use.

    You’d be doing the Steam Deck community a favor by selling it to an enthusiast without charging them extra just because they’re down under.
