Used Steam Decks in Melbourne typically sell for A$345 to A$670 (about $240 to $470). Steam Decks hold value well, and buyers care about two specifics: whether it is the LCD or OLED model, and the storage — both change the price substantially.
Selling a Steam Deck in Melbourne
Melbourne has the strongest vintage and op-shop culture in Australia and a large student population across several universities, so buying second hand here is entirely ordinary. It is also the country’s music city, which keeps instruments, amps and records moving in a way they do not everywhere.
The tram network covers the inner suburbs densely and is how most small handovers happen. The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
On anything stored in a garage or shed, check for damp. The winters here are wetter and colder than the city’s reputation suggests, and fabric and particle board both suffer for it.
Melbourne, in Victoria, has around 5.1 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.

Model and storage: “Steam Deck OLED 512GB with Case”. The OLED model commands a clear premium, so it must be in the title. Mention any storage upgrade or added microSD card, which buyers value and which is easy to overlook.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
