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?

Don’t feel guilty about believing in supply/demand while disliking capitalism. Commerce isn’t capitalism and trade existed before stock markets, corporations, and shareholders.

Not to turn a steam deck comment thread into something political. I’m not saying capitalism is good or bad. I’m just saying that stores existed before Adam Smith or the Dutch East India Company (or whenever you want to say capitalism emerged). Ancient Egyptian cities had markets. Prehistory probably had commerce.
