My neighbor wants to sell me his Gen 1 500 GB Steam Deck (its in great shape) so he can get the OLED version. What is a fair price range? There are no right/wrong answers just curious what the resale market looks with the new line coming out.

    Tell him $200 and hold firm. He’ll eventually cave because he’ll take $200 towards his OLED, over nothing because odds are he’s buying regardless. Plus you ass the ease of sale to you locally over the work of selling it elsewhere for more.

    Wait him out some days to a week or so and you’ll have a steam deck for $200

    $500 CAD is what I’m selling mine for so I can get the OLED. I don’t know what’s fair but a new 512gb LCD deck is $550 CAD new and my deck is in perfect condition.

      From a buyer’s perspective most would spring the extra $50 for a new one. Better to drop the price especially when a refurb is under 400.

    300-350. I can’t see much more than that tbh. Hardware deteriorates and lessens value over time.

    considering after tax I paid like 700 for my deck, I’d rather just keep it and enjoy it for years to come rather than sell it for peanuts now that the oled is out. When the actual steam deck 2 is out I’ll think about getting that one but probably keep my original. It’s like a part of gaming history at this point, plus it can do a LOT more than a regular old console

    What others are saying is pretty fair considering the price drops to make room for the new models. I sold mine a bit higher since I included lots of extra stuff like my SD card, transparent backplate, extra screen protectors, custom front/back skin, etc. Would of kept them but needed to make it more appealing since my area is a ghost town and didn’t want to sell it online.

    I was able to sell mine along with the official dock (I didn’t like it) and an extra microSD for $350 pretty easily.
