Fair point. I don’t think the case is much of a needle mover, but I can see the etched glass being attractive.

That second part of key, buyers don’t like modified Steam Decks…almost as much as they don’t care about all your accessories.
The most common question I got when selling my Deck was, “Is it the original 512GB or did you upgrade to 512GB?” Speaking with a few, they had no interest in a 64GB model with a new SSD.
Sold my 512 anti-glare for $250 on Facebook Marketplace. Had a few $300 offers fall through, because…well…that’s what happens all the time on Facebook Marketplace. I was getting consistent $250 offers so I agreed on one where the seller brought cash and was able to pickup in less than an hour.
Honestly, easily could have gotten $300 (or more) if I was patient, but checking Marketplace you could see the market was getting flooded with Steam Decks. I also think a lot…a lot…of people just don’t know about the OLED upgrade because they are just buying “what their kid asked for”. That will change the longer the OLED is out.
You have the pick a side. Do you want to sell it now? Well, you’re competing with a lot of sellers right now so you need to be competitive. If you want top dollar? I’d wait until after the holidays when the market cools.
How dirty is it currently that you’d need a refurbishing service? I sold my LCD version and just used a microfiber towel and it looked brand new.
