Selling my deck (lemmy.world)

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?

Considering officially refurbished Steam Decks are already a lot cheaper and they are checked for functionality/repaired if necessary and also come with fresh warranty, only going down $100 from the original asking price likely doesn't get your listing a lot of attention.

This. I'd pay a little extra for the additional warranty and assurance from the company that everything works. Even if it's not as good as OP's unit in reality, it feels like it would be.
