Sold my 512 LCD to them on Wednesday for £319 cash, they’re now offering £183. Other models looked to have dropped down heavy too.

Average sold Ebay listing looks to be down from around £360-370 to £290-£300 as well.

Don’t sit on it too long if you bought an OLED with the intention of using your old model’s sale to subsidise the upgrade.

    Well, the thing is, quite simply, everyone had the same idea: I got my Steam Deck 10 months ago, and on CEX, I can sell it for at least 3/4 of the price I paid. I sell it, add £100 (or less), and voila, I can get the new OLED. However, in just a week, the entire CEX marketplace got flooded with Steam Deck LCD units, causing the prices to plummet. Now, there are plenty available. When I was in the queue for mine, I checked CEX to see if I could find a second-hand one. I live in London, and I remember there was one available, which lasted only 2 days, in Zone 4 in West London. The next one was somewhere near Eastbourne on the southeast coast. I think they were even more expensive than buying one from the official website. It’s all about the market dynamics and the delicate balance between supply and demand.
