Sell your Steam Deck for cash
The novelty of PC gaming from the couch wears off fast, and that backlog from the last Steam sale isn’t playing itself. Turn the Deck gathering dust into cash in under a minute.
How it works
Get your instant offer
Select Steam Deck as the model and get your instant offer.
Free collection
Accept it, and we’ll collect for free, anywhere in South Africa.
We test it
We test it against what you told us. If it matches, and it usually does, no last-minute haggling over a bit of drift you already told us about.
Get paid
Paid within 5 days, or more via voucher or consignment.
What determines your Steam Deck’s offer
Model and storage
LCD or OLED model, and storage tier (64GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB), are the biggest drivers of your offer.
Screen and body condition
Cracks, stick drift or thumbstick wear lower the offer. Tell us honestly and the tested offer will match what we quoted.
Battery health
A battery that still holds a reasonable charge is worth more than one that drains fast before you’ve finished a single session.
No account removal needed
SteamOS wipes clean on a factory reset regardless of who was logged in, there’s no account lock to worry about before selling.
Epic Deals vs the alternatives
Nobody wants to meet a stranger in a parking lot to prove the thumbsticks still work.
| Epic Deals | Facebook Marketplace / Gumtree | Pawn shop | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price haggling | No last-minute haggling on the tested offer | Constant lowballing | Most pawn shops don’t know what it’s worth |
| Payment speed | 5 days | Weeks to find a serious buyer | Immediate but low |
| Collection | Free nationwide courier | Meet a stranger | Walk-in only |
| Safety | VAT-registered, Ombud-accredited business | Risky in-person handovers | Varies |
Why sell now, not later
Handheld PC gaming is a fast-moving category, new competing handhelds launch every year, and each one makes older Steam Deck stock a little less desirable. Selling while yours is still a current, recognisable model gets you more than waiting for the next launch to make the decision for you.
Why South Africans sell to us specifically
Epic Deals has paid South Africans over R88 million for their used tech since 2013 (yes, actually paid, not “up to”), with 1,800+ real customer reviews. We’re not a stranger from a classifieds app, we’re a registered, VAT-paying South African business with a track record you can check, and a participant in the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud Scheme, the independent, CPA-accredited dispute resolution body for retail complaints in South Africa.
Want more than the instant cash offer?
Cash
Paid within 5 days once we’ve collected and tested your Steam Deck.
Voucher+12%
Take store credit instead of cash. 12% extra, because your next upgrade should cost less than your last one.
Consignment
We list and sell it on your behalf. Slower than an instant offer, but often worth the wait, think patient investor rather than impulse Steam-sale shopper. Paid on average within about 13 working days, usually for more than our instant offer.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to sign out of my Steam account first?
No. SteamOS wipes clean on a factory reset (via the Deck’s own recovery tool) regardless of who was previously signed in, there’s no account lock to worry about.
Do you buy Steam Decks with stick drift or a cracked screen?
Yes, we buy Steam Decks across a range of conditions. Drift or screen damage lowers the offer rather than ruling it out, get an instant offer and we’ll grade the exact condition when we test it.
Do I need the original dock or charger?
No, but including the official charger or dock in good condition can improve your offer slightly.
Do you buy the LCD and OLED models?
Yes, both. Select your exact model and storage tier when getting your instant offer.
How long until I get paid?
Within 5 days of us receiving and testing your Steam Deck, by EFT. Or take our voucher for 12% extra to spend in-store, or sell on consignment for potentially even more.
Is the courier really free?
Yes, free nationwide courier collection, no risky in-person handover.
Is there a safer way to sell than meeting a stranger from Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree?
That’s exactly what we built this for. No meetups in parking lots, just a tested offer, free courier collection and a real payment into your account.
