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?

    While I think capitalism is shit, I do believe in supply and demand. I was recently getting zero bites on my desktop computer, then lowered the listing price by 50% in the auction and sold it in a week at 80% of the original listing price.

    It turns out the price I thought was fair, didn’t meet the market and there were exactly zero people interested in buying it at that price. That’s what’s happening to you sadly.

    Think of it this way: at your current price you get no bites. If you were to sell it at $50 people would buy it immediately. Now you have to find a happy medium both you and buyers are happy with.
