I priced it at $265, if you look at recently sold prices, 279$ is what others have been paying
You're pricing it too high. Referb 64GB models from Valve are selling for the same price, and those come with a warranty and are verified tested from Valve.
Plus, almost anyone buying a 64GB model will be upgrading the internal ssd, so that's another 50-100 dollars depending on the ssd they choose.
So honestly most people are probably not going to be interested unless its around $200 or a little more.
If you're not willing to cave on the price, then you'll just have to leave it up for a long time and hope somebody comes along willing to buy it at your price.
Rule of thumb selling used stuff: it's never worth as much as you think/hope it is. Just take the loss and sell at a bargin. I used to do tons of garage/yard sale buying and selling, and I never bought stuff unless it was a fantastic deal, and I struggled to ever sell anything unless it was priced as a fantastic deal.
Someone bought it for 279, so not too high!
Right on.
Damn, is that for the 512GB version? I should have waited...
