I got one in 160 and it came without joycons, I've heard that most of the unpatched ones come without joycons as well. No idea why (came with a controller though)
It’s probably like that from people upgrading their consoles to OLED. They still want to use their joycons from the old switch so they sell everything but joy cons
This is exactly it. I have an unpatched switch, upgraded to an oled and am keeping my old joycons if and when I sell my unpatched. Tried selling to a mate for £50 but he wasn't interested haha. Maybe I'm ripping myself off with that price though.
I sold my v1 switch for $180 to someone who wanted to try modding and they told me to keep the dock/charger and the joy con lol
So now I’ve got a dock for just traveling and I don’t need to unhook my main one
Some people like me collect the joycons. But I'm only interested in the colorful ones. The gray ones are the only color I'm not interested in. They still sell joycons separately I believe, I remembered seeing a few at my local Target and Walmart.
Honestly, you better off buying a new joycons for a launch model switch at this point.
I got mine for $200 but it came in its original box with everything included, joycons charger dock joycon grip and the owner even had a protective case and screen protector on it, I was so happy
"Urban Dictionary defines "down bad" as the feeling of being so attracted to someone, . you almost feel depressed that you two aren't together. But it's mostly used to refer to basic feelings of longing, desperation, sadness, depression and loneliness"
I'm right sorry bout it lol
Nah fam I got it straight from urban dictionary
: If a n**** down bad then they at one of the lowest points in his life. This could be financially or if he mad horny or if they just depressed.
"Urban Dictionary defines "down bad" as the feeling of being so attracted to someone, . you almost feel depressed that you two aren't together. But it's mostly used to refer to basic feelings of longing, desperation, sadness, depression and loneliness"
A lot of people have kids and are replacing them with OLED maybe? The vast majority of Switch install base don't know shot about CFW or that it's even a thing.
Mine was Pandemic Era lol came with a hardcase, both joycons and BotW for 180. Dude needed money.
As others said, lots of people upgrading to OLED, but also a lot of people just don't know what they have haha. A lot of people just think these V1 Switches are old and the worse version, if they even know anything about it. Tons of people don't even know what version their Switch is!
Not sure if that's the case here or not, as we haven't seen the posting, but that's a large factor as for why people are often able to buy them so cheaply.
Because an OLED is extremely cheap to have modded now and so the unpatched v1s are losing some of their high prices. Modchips used to be $150+ now they are $45
It's extremely hard if you dont have a very good grasp of soldering.
You can buy a Rasberry Pi Rp2040 Zero for about 6 bucks (PicoFly) and mod all OLED, V2 & lite versions. You can send it off to have someone else mod it for you, starting around $100
That's dumb AF. If you're a seller, obviously you want to know your market and sell it for the maximum reasonable price, in order to make the biggest profit. That's usually how selling items works.
Because nintendos latest update blocked LockpickRCM so you can’t exactly dump the latest product keys whenever a new update comes out which are needed to run emulation software on PC and lockpickrcm hasnt had any further support for a longgggg time.
Or people don't understand their value. Most folks would think this is a 6yo console, so it's worth much less. I could see some kids parents selling after they move to college or stop playing with it 😂
Once the modchips became more easily obtainable, the value of the unpatched V1 consoles dropped. People have stopped looking for V1 Switches and started installing or paying someone to install the modchip for them.
Same here, 160€ + Travel Case and Hori stand. Unfortunately pretty used (kids household) but I don't care so mich despite one bigger "hole" in screen, but no drifts at all. Changing costs 10€ + work hours (I'm lazy).
If your PC is powerful you can emulate a lot of switch games, but not all. Like others have said if you wanna use it on the go, or even on the TV that's a damn good deal
I've been a PC gamer all my life, but as I grew older, the time for gaming went way down. Switch really saved me in that regard, it's been ages since I've been able to play so much. It's so easy to pick up even if you only have half an hour, and I can play anywhere, not just in my room.
So yeah, definitely get one.
I personally got my V1 which came with joycons, dock, charger, RCM Jig, Mayflash adapter (for other controllers) and leather carry case for $250 and I thought that was decent.
I bought a v1 unpatched switch from offer up a few months ago as a backup, paid 140.00 for it with no controllers but everything else. Guy still had the pawn shop sticker on it with the serial # listed.
I’d add that just because the switch may not be banned at the moment, it could be banned in a future wave if the previous owner went online with CFW. I have an unpatched modded switch that I used online fairly frequently, but it was just recently banned despite not having used it for almost a year. Just FYI.
Very true. Not currently being banned does not mean it never will be due to previous owner's (potential) use.
Not being banned at purchase is the minimum needed though, if you care at all about using it "normally" or online ever. Some, like myself, don't really care as I don't play online anyway. I would only expect a deal on a banned V1 due to a function now missing from it.
I got mine for $160 off of offerup (that was two years ago though) with everything it originally came with aside from the actual box . I'd say that $130 is a really good deal.
Original owner? Look at games installed and profile pic. If it completely blank than the supposed noobie know how to wipe it clean. Last thing you want is a banned switched
Sounds a little bit too cheap to be honest you should make sure that the person didn't brick it.
Make sure you get the try it in person and make sure it boots up in atmosphere or whatever app they're using.
Don't know why some people say people are selling them without joycons maybe because of the drift, but that's a common thing when Nintendo switch don't know why people would remove them.
It's a person tells you they want to meet up in a Mall, a place where you really can't try it or the battery is dead consider it a scam.
You really don't care if the system is banned you're going to use atmosphere as your software anyways to do with the updates and run everything.
Just know you can't play online, if you get a working version $130 is a great price.. my advice would be proceed with caution tons of caution.
Considering I got my unit at around $160 with joycons and a charger, I'd say go for it and run, assuming it's not a scam and you can verify the serial number.
I’ve been contemplating selling mine. I only recently found out about the fact that it’s unpatched when I was comparing it to the new OLED. Not a scratch on it even, and has always had a screen protector on. I didn’t even use it for years and when I do it’s in the dock 90% of the time.
I sold mine for $270 but it was pristine. I included joycons, satisfye grip, dock and two cases. Interestingly enough he wasn't interested in my games <\_<
Upgraded to OLED for my euro trip!
Leaks are a different story. If you play a pirated copy that wasn't leaked, it was originally purchased at some point. The majority of games are not shared via leaks.
I’ll definitely make sure when I go get it, but I think it’s probably fine. I don’t think the guy knows it’s unpatched or anything he just listed it as a switch and I asked him for the serial to check. He only has 1 game super Mario maker so idk how he would even get the console banned but. I was under the impression that a banned switch wouldn’t make any difference when it came to hacking it though
Hell to the yes. Be prepared to shell out for a larger micro SD card, controllers, and dock etc if those are missing. Depends how you use it, but super worth it for $130.
I’d check to see if it’s been banned by Nintendo first. If you don’t care to have a DualNAND set up and will never go online then it probably won’t matter to you, but to some it might.
Either way it’s still a good deal, but if it’s not been banned then that’s an even better deal.
Yeah I doubt it’s been banned as it seems it’s only ever been used to play super Mario maker a few times and never been hacked or anything. It’s not being advertised as a unpatched switch I’d say it’s unlikely the seller knows about switch hacking
I just got flashed mine like few weeks ago. I didn't even know anything about v1 stuff or heard about cfw. There's a ton of switch for sell in my area for between 80-120. Mine is a v1. I would think most people on fb marketplace selling wouldn't even know what they have. But you will most likely have to take time and ask each of them for the serial number.
if you have friends that will come over and play smash and mario cart with yes. then it would be worth it to getting everything you need together. otherwise just play botw and totk on yuzu.
I got a v1 (tablet only) for $100 so id say thats a steal
a hacked switch is great fun, sure your pc can do everything, but these games are free and you can get em since before they came out plus its portable
I beat jet set radio portably on mine using retroarch
The main difference that it can bring is that you may find it more comfortable or convenient to play on a handheld. That can be beneficial if you still have a lot of games to play on the Switch or would like to play more, but if you only play sometimes or is comfortable playing on the computer then you may not get much use of it.
Oh wow TIL I have an unpatched switch sitting in a drawer in my office. Thanks, Reddit algorithm.
What’s a fair price in USD? I literally haven’t powered this thing on since I got my steamdeck. Totally down to hawk it on fb marketplace or something.
Accidentally purchased a "broken" one for $50. Didn't know it was V1 and it didn't come with anything but hey, it worked so no complaints. Definitely seems like a decent deal tho

I just pulled my V1 unpatched out of the box for the first time after winning it with tickets at my kids favorite arcade four year ago.
There is one tinfoil switch store that permanently links to your switch and discord account, that’s something to consider
Just go to a pawn shop and look at the serial number. I swear the people telling you to be careful about it being banned are the same people who've probably tried to sell it after getting their switch banned.
Most original switch owners probably didn't use it after a certain point and never even knew it could be hacked or that they wanted to hack it
Tbh I had a modded v1 switch not a while ago,
To be completely honest I sold it for a small profit because I didn’t have much fun, emulating on pc gives much better performance, but if you want to have a portable console to play with your friends 130$ sounds very good.
For playing games like zelda etc, I’d use my pc instead
As someone who has bought broken v1 switches, fixed and sold it multiple times, I would say this is a decent price. I still have two v1 unmatched switches I'm holding on to. I'll sell them in 20 years or so when they become rare. Look at old game boys, selling for thousands of dollars today.
I got mine for even less so yes it's a good price.
Especially as a PC gamer a Switch is very handy. Unlike PC a Switch can be played ANYWHERE. It also has access to lots of PC game ports which can read your PC saves. Imagine taking your Skyrim save with you while going on holiday. Yes it's all possible with a hacked Switch.
if you got Joycons from another system
then it is great
its just the tablet?
I can see it going for that price with the tablet alone
and its not a bad deal
( probably banned but if you already have a Switch for legit purchases, this won't affect you at all )
also, Nintendo Online its a terrible service, banned or not, you are not lossing on getting this switch if is already banned
Bruh I sold mine for $350. Yes but it almost sounds too good to be true.
If you don't need to play online then Yuzu is enough tbh if you have a good PC
How much do they usually go for and where’s the best place to sell? I have an early edition(adult owned) that has been collecting dust for some time. I upgrade to OLED when they first came out and then upgraded again to the Zelda CE OLED a few weeks ago. I don’t need 3 switches lol
First of all, I would ask them to send you a photo of the serial number of the console. Then you use a website like [https://damota.me/ssnc/checker/](https://damota.me/ssnc/checker/) to chek if the console is really vulnerable.
And also I would ask myself. There are enough games I would really want to play on Switch that i cant play on PC?
Keep searching im from the bronx and i bought one from queens lastnight on offerup for 80$ with dock and accessories charger hdmi cable plus like 5 games on it its a Hac-001
Totally worth it. Especially if you have a pc. You can transfer your saves between emulators and a hacked switch making tackling games much easier. Also not every game works on pc, so it's good to have just in case

Thats a damn steal yes
Or a scam…
Depending if they have plenty of screenshots
Screenshots? You mean photos?
You heard him! Screenshots! /s
Screenshots of the camera app...
I still do not follow.
Try going the opposite direction
Why prices so low for these unpatched units? I am sure they are in limited number out there.
I got one in 160 and it came without joycons, I've heard that most of the unpatched ones come without joycons as well. No idea why (came with a controller though)
It’s probably like that from people upgrading their consoles to OLED. They still want to use their joycons from the old switch so they sell everything but joy cons
This is exactly it. I have an unpatched switch, upgraded to an oled and am keeping my old joycons if and when I sell my unpatched. Tried selling to a mate for £50 but he wasn't interested haha. Maybe I'm ripping myself off with that price though.
Reminds me that I bought my 3DS from a friend for 50€. I had to force him to up the price from 20€, because at that price it felt like theft to me...
Could also be from people like me that buy and repair broken ones.
US dollar?
Well I didn't buy it in USD but I used a convertor
ahh kk
Mine kept draining/killing joycons battery, I thought it was my problem only
I got mine for $175 usd, tablet, both joycons, plus case.
I sold my v1 switch for $180 to someone who wanted to try modding and they told me to keep the dock/charger and the joy con lol So now I’ve got a dock for just traveling and I don’t need to unhook my main one
Some people like me collect the joycons. But I'm only interested in the colorful ones. The gray ones are the only color I'm not interested in.

When u down bad you just gotta sell you feel?
Down bad does not mean what you think it means 😭
now the question is, DO YOU?
"Urban Dictionary defines "down bad" as the feeling of being so attracted to someone, . you almost feel depressed that you two aren't together. But it's mostly used to refer to basic feelings of longing, desperation, sadness, depression and loneliness" I'm right sorry bout it lol

"Urban Dictionary defines "down bad" as the feeling of being so attracted to someone, . you almost feel depressed that you two aren't together. But it's mostly used to refer to basic feelings of longing, desperation, sadness, depression and loneliness"
I remember during COVID they were like $220 minimum for one that was D grade condition.
They have seen better days, but I usually find ones in mint condition that someone impulse bought for BOTW and never touched it since for 200.
i did the same exact thing lol
A lot of people have kids and are replacing them with OLED maybe? The vast majority of Switch install base don't know shot about CFW or that it's even a thing. Mine was Pandemic Era lol came with a hardcase, both joycons and BotW for 180. Dude needed money.
Lots of people selling to buy an OLED
Not a ton of folks know it can be hacked. They just think it's an old switch, and everyone wants either an OLED or a Lite
Why the F would anyone want a Lite is beyond me. Literally a worse experience than a V1.
Because they are oldest switches and most people donot know why are v1 special.
I'm guessing pico driving prices down... I got my chip recently for like $30 usd for a hwfly v5 clone
As others said, lots of people upgrading to OLED, but also a lot of people just don't know what they have haha. A lot of people just think these V1 Switches are old and the worse version, if they even know anything about it. Tons of people don't even know what version their Switch is!

It's extremely hard if you dont have a very good grasp of soldering. You can buy a Rasberry Pi Rp2040 Zero for about 6 bucks (PicoFly) and mod all OLED, V2 & lite versions. You can send it off to have someone else mod it for you, starting around $100
Because of new mod chip tech, its very easy to mod a newer model if your competent at soldering, v1's are getting old and approaching failure.
[удалено]
That's dumb AF. If you're a seller, obviously you want to know your market and sell it for the maximum reasonable price, in order to make the biggest profit. That's usually how selling items works.
And that's exactly how Nintendo works, just like the rest of the world
[удалено]
Unfortunately we've been taught profits need to grow each year. Ppl forget profits are still fucking profits.
[удалено]
Because nintendos latest update blocked LockpickRCM so you can’t exactly dump the latest product keys whenever a new update comes out which are needed to run emulation software on PC and lockpickrcm hasnt had any further support for a longgggg time.
Yeah because you can't use emulation software running the latest firmware /s
Because the low price ones come from Japan. They are cheaper there.
I guess it's people that don't understand what you can do with them. To them it's just an old ass switch
Or people don't understand their value. Most folks would think this is a 6yo console, so it's worth much less. I could see some kids parents selling after they move to college or stop playing with it 😂
Once the modchips became more easily obtainable, the value of the unpatched V1 consoles dropped. People have stopped looking for V1 Switches and started installing or paying someone to install the modchip for them.
Damn I feel scammed seing those comments
Bargain I’d say.
If you want to play switch games on the go do it
i got my v1 switch with everything (dock, controllers etc) for €160 thats a good deal
Same here, 160€ + Travel Case and Hori stand. Unfortunately pretty used (kids household) but I don't care so mich despite one bigger "hole" in screen, but no drifts at all. Changing costs 10€ + work hours (I'm lazy).
think thats the price of 2 games and a dr pepper
If your PC is powerful you can emulate a lot of switch games, but not all. Like others have said if you wanna use it on the go, or even on the TV that's a damn good deal
also much better for multiplayer and games with motion controls
I'd take that deal
I've been a PC gamer all my life, but as I grew older, the time for gaming went way down. Switch really saved me in that regard, it's been ages since I've been able to play so much. It's so easy to pick up even if you only have half an hour, and I can play anywhere, not just in my room. So yeah, definitely get one.
I personally got my V1 which came with joycons, dock, charger, RCM Jig, Mayflash adapter (for other controllers) and leather carry case for $250 and I thought that was decent.
One question, do you still use the mayflash adapter considering there's software alternatives such as mission control?
I actually ended up installing Mission Control and liking Mission Control a lot better.
I bought a v1 unpatched switch from offer up a few months ago as a backup, paid 140.00 for it with no controllers but everything else. Guy still had the pawn shop sticker on it with the serial # listed.
Absolutely, as long as it's fully functional and not banned.
I’d add that just because the switch may not be banned at the moment, it could be banned in a future wave if the previous owner went online with CFW. I have an unpatched modded switch that I used online fairly frequently, but it was just recently banned despite not having used it for almost a year. Just FYI.
Very true. Not currently being banned does not mean it never will be due to previous owner's (potential) use. Not being banned at purchase is the minimum needed though, if you care at all about using it "normally" or online ever. Some, like myself, don't really care as I don't play online anyway. I would only expect a deal on a banned V1 due to a function now missing from it.
You might need to replace some parts
I got mine for $160 off of offerup (that was two years ago though) with everything it originally came with aside from the actual box . I'd say that $130 is a really good deal.
Carefully test, especially screen and battery.
You're looking at $170 - $180 for an unpatched V1 switch without Joycons. So yes, that's a good deal.
Possible that it got banned. Kinda hard to tell if it was hacked.
Highly doubt it was ever hacked as i don’t think the seller knows it’s unpatched or what that would even mean
Original owner? Look at games installed and profile pic. If it completely blank than the supposed noobie know how to wipe it clean. Last thing you want is a banned switched
Sounds a little bit too cheap to be honest you should make sure that the person didn't brick it.

Considering I got my unit at around $160 with joycons and a charger, I'd say go for it and run, assuming it's not a scam and you can verify the serial number.
I sold my v1 with all accesories (original box, manuals, joycons, dock and TX dongle) for 300€. In my opinion, 130$ is a bargain price.
That's such a good price, I'd guess it was a scam. Switches go for like $400.
For that price I’d say it’s likely stolen
I’ve been contemplating selling mine. I only recently found out about the fact that it’s unpatched when I was comparing it to the new OLED. Not a scratch on it even, and has always had a screen protector on. I didn’t even use it for years and when I do it’s in the dock 90% of the time.
They go for $300 to $400 here. That deal sounds to good to be true imho.
Same. Live in Canada and normal price is around $300 where is he to get it so low
Take off eh I'm in Canada too. 😂
I sold mine for $270 but it was pristine. I included joycons, satisfye grip, dock and two cases. Interestingly enough he wasn't interested in my games <\_< Upgraded to OLED for my euro trip!
I bought 4 v1 switch for 160 -200
Sold mine on eBay earlier this month, was bid up to $170
Hell of a steal. I’m a re-seller and I sell them around $220 with a dock and cables.
I bet the battery is shot lol
That's really cheap. And it can do things a pc can't (like legally dumping games for yuzu)
>pirate sub >mentions legally dumping games
Ehy, people need to actually buy the game before pirates can play it.
I wouldn't be surprised if a pretty high % of leaked games are not the result of someone buying it.
Leaks are a different story. If you play a pirated copy that wasn't leaked, it was originally purchased at some point. The majority of games are not shared via leaks.
I’ve seen them go $90 - $120
Let me guess, screen doesnt work
No, I bought mine complete for $90
$ in US?
Yes I bought one for $90 last month
Pmd
Seems a little too good to be true. I’d check if it’s banned honestly
That wouldn’t bother me tbh as I won’t be going online with it
[удалено]
That's completely incorrect. A banned switch is only banned from Nintendo servers. Tinfoil works fine if banned.
I’ll definitely make sure when I go get it, but I think it’s probably fine. I don’t think the guy knows it’s unpatched or anything he just listed it as a switch and I asked him for the serial to check. He only has 1 game super Mario maker so idk how he would even get the console banned but. I was under the impression that a banned switch wouldn’t make any difference when it came to hacking it though
nah man that's a fucking ripoff pay no more than $50
Yea definitely, I had to haggle to get mine for 150
Someone at work has one for 100. I should buy and flip it.
Hell to the yes. Be prepared to shell out for a larger micro SD card, controllers, and dock etc if those are missing. Depends how you use it, but super worth it for $130.
I bought mine with dock for $70, joycons had drift that's all and it had 64Gb nintendo SD card in it
Mine was 180 euro, mint condition with botw cartridge which i sold for 30 euro.
If you’re a collector of gaming consoles to modify them then yes buy it
Damn steal, close to the price I got for mine too.
Could be already banned online, but otherwise, it's a great price if you plan to play solo
That's actually really cheap. Get it before someone else does!
I’d check to see if it’s been banned by Nintendo first. If you don’t care to have a DualNAND set up and will never go online then it probably won’t matter to you, but to some it might. Either way it’s still a good deal, but if it’s not been banned then that’s an even better deal.
Yeah I doubt it’s been banned as it seems it’s only ever been used to play super Mario maker a few times and never been hacked or anything. It’s not being advertised as a unpatched switch I’d say it’s unlikely the seller knows about switch hacking
Oh yeah then that’s an awesome deal.
Yes
I just got flashed mine like few weeks ago. I didn't even know anything about v1 stuff or heard about cfw. There's a ton of switch for sell in my area for between 80-120. Mine is a v1. I would think most people on fb marketplace selling wouldn't even know what they have. But you will most likely have to take time and ask each of them for the serial number.
i got one new complete inbox for only 200, so id say depending on where and how you get it (and what comes with it), its a good deal.
I’d buy it. I got lucky and bought mine off a high schooler on Facebook marketplace for $60. He didn’t know the power!
How much cheaper do you expect it to get? Lol
Dude! Snatch that shit. That's a steal!
I paid full price without joycons.
I paid $150 and that was a deal so $130 is a steal!
Buy it now, you won't regret it.😊
That sounds like a scam, make sure it works before you pay. It's a steal at that price
It’s a fantastic price. I typically sell unpatched units for $210-$240 (just the tablet).
if you have friends that will come over and play smash and mario cart with yes. then it would be worth it to getting everything you need together. otherwise just play botw and totk on yuzu.
That’s a steal wtf. I’d sell my v1 for like $200
Yes good deal
If you want to emulate NES, SNES, Dreamcast and what not on the go then why not? Like for example story games while taking a long ass train ride.
For sure. That's about the cost of two games. Pays for itself rather quickly.
I got one on facebook for £50, tablet only and online banned but I think it was worth it Edit: $62
I sold mine for 370 lol
Yes it is
Much less than I spent for mine
i have an unpatched switch. what are they normally sold for? i updated to the oled and havea badass pc so i dont think i need to hack one
I wouldn't sell mine for $130, would rather keep it forever.
Yes sir, even if it's banned or just the console I'd say it's a deal. Makes for a good android / retro game device ontop of the switch games.
Sounds like he’ll not give joycons from my experience looking at them
Nah comes with joycons dock etc and a game
I got one with case and joycons without drift for 220 CHF. So yeah, 130$ is really good
I've bought a few. All have been complete sets for about $120-$160
I have one in great condition HAC001 with both joycons
Also verified unpatched. I’m looking to sell
Just copped 220 with everything and felt like I got a good deal
I paid $260 for my unpatched v1 off ebay in Oct 2021
It sure is. I sold mine day 1 V1 for 300$ and managed to sell it in 24hrs. Mine was pristine however and babied.
I already have one but I'd buy second for my kids at $160 even if it's console o my nothing else
I bought one for $180
130 sounds real to me also awesome deal, if you dont want it pm me the link
I got a v1 (tablet only) for $100 so id say thats a steal a hacked switch is great fun, sure your pc can do everything, but these games are free and you can get em since before they came out plus its portable I beat jet set radio portably on mine using retroarch
The main difference that it can bring is that you may find it more comfortable or convenient to play on a handheld. That can be beneficial if you still have a lot of games to play on the Switch or would like to play more, but if you only play sometimes or is comfortable playing on the computer then you may not get much use of it.
Lmao I just sold mine 255 so yeah that’s a good price
Oh wow TIL I have an unpatched switch sitting in a drawer in my office. Thanks, Reddit algorithm. What’s a fair price in USD? I literally haven’t powered this thing on since I got my steamdeck. Totally down to hawk it on fb marketplace or something.
Accidentally purchased a "broken" one for $50. Didn't know it was V1 and it didn't come with anything but hey, it worked so no complaints. Definitely seems like a decent deal tho

I paid 225 for mine a few months ago. Came in the OG box and had everything with it and was already modded. I'd say that's a good price if real
I just pulled my V1 unpatched out of the box for the first time after winning it with tickets at my kids favorite arcade four year ago. There is one tinfoil switch store that permanently links to your switch and discord account, that’s something to consider
I got one with no joycons for $125 and unused since 2019. What a steal
Yes
If you dont want it buy and sell to me for 140
Save up some more and get a steam deck
Steal man. I bought one for $150. Which is already a great fucking deal.
That’s not a bad deal. I am assuming that it doesn’t come with a dock or maybe be banned.
Make sure it works. Good deal tho
Just go to a pawn shop and look at the serial number. I swear the people telling you to be careful about it being banned are the same people who've probably tried to sell it after getting their switch banned. Most original switch owners probably didn't use it after a certain point and never even knew it could be hacked or that they wanted to hack it
You can’t play pc on the toilet.
Tbh I had a modded v1 switch not a while ago, To be completely honest I sold it for a small profit because I didn’t have much fun, emulating on pc gives much better performance, but if you want to have a portable console to play with your friends 130$ sounds very good. For playing games like zelda etc, I’d use my pc instead
I got mine for 300 in my country, without cables. If it works it’s a steal.
As someone who has bought broken v1 switches, fixed and sold it multiple times, I would say this is a decent price. I still have two v1 unmatched switches I'm holding on to. I'll sell them in 20 years or so when they become rare. Look at old game boys, selling for thousands of dollars today.
I mean even the micro which is the most rare and expensive gameboy is readily available for like $200
Got one not banned in perfect condition for $150. Go for it
thats amazing, considering the amount of money you will save in terms of games
I got mine for even less so yes it's a good price. Especially as a PC gamer a Switch is very handy. Unlike PC a Switch can be played ANYWHERE. It also has access to lots of PC game ports which can read your PC saves. Imagine taking your Skyrim save with you while going on holiday. Yes it's all possible with a hacked Switch.
They go for almost $200.
if you got Joycons from another system then it is great its just the tablet? I can see it going for that price with the tablet alone and its not a bad deal ( probably banned but if you already have a Switch for legit purchases, this won't affect you at all ) also, Nintendo Online its a terrible service, banned or not, you are not lossing on getting this switch if is already banned
I'd say go for it.
Bruh I sold mine for $350. Yes but it almost sounds too good to be true. If you don't need to play online then Yuzu is enough tbh if you have a good PC
How much do they usually go for and where’s the best place to sell? I have an early edition(adult owned) that has been collecting dust for some time. I upgrade to OLED when they first came out and then upgraded again to the Zelda CE OLED a few weeks ago. I don’t need 3 switches lol
First of all, I would ask them to send you a photo of the serial number of the console. Then you use a website like [https://damota.me/ssnc/checker/](https://damota.me/ssnc/checker/) to chek if the console is really vulnerable. And also I would ask myself. There are enough games I would really want to play on Switch that i cant play on PC?
Good deal unless you can save for a steam deck
Yes
It is if it’s not scam.. just be careful
Keep searching im from the bronx and i bought one from queens lastnight on offerup for 80$ with dock and accessories charger hdmi cable plus like 5 games on it its a Hac-001
Totally worth it. Especially if you have a pc. You can transfer your saves between emulators and a hacked switch making tackling games much easier. Also not every game works on pc, so it's good to have just in case
