    I wish that is for the OLED version

      I wish it was the 2024 Super Switch.

      • pacificstorm on 11/05/2023 - 15:01

        I wish it's only 200$. Way overpriced for an old (almost 10 years now?) tech gaming console.

        • PainToad on 11/05/2023 - 16:20

          Plus the Switch was outdated even on release. It was basically a Nvidia Shied tablet from a few years prior with controls stuck on the side.

          I miss when Nintendo actually innovated.

          • CONUT on 19/05/2023 - 15:51

            @PainToad: Being the first company to release a portable and tv dual console was innovating.

            They're the only company actually releasing new games. XBOX and PS5 are selling old-tech PCs, and you either can't get them or they have no decent games, just "HD" re-releases of PS3 games.

          • SpeedRunnerLink on 19/05/2023 - 22:15

            @PainToad: Nintendo's always been innovative but never the most powerful console.

            The Wii and 3DS are perfect examples.

      Nintendo are watching you

    • AustriaBargain on 11/05/2023 - 12:50

      Mine is and I still want the OLED version, even if it means paying for games. Though apparently Nintendo only thinks they'll sell up to 15 million Switches this year, so maybe better to wait for Switch Pro/2/U anyway https://www.engadget.com/nintendo-expects-to-sell-only-15-mi…

    • tonyamazing on 11/05/2023 - 15:18

      Is there much of a market for unpatched switches? I have a spare that is banned, and my primary one doesn't get any use these days.

    $309 + $6.95 Delivery from their eBay Store using eBay Plus code 'PWESNS'

    i wish i have mate(s) working at ebg so he can check choose and sell me low serial units.
    i dont mind treat him/her beer after

    • Nalar on 11/05/2023 - 15:13

      most EB staff are dealing with entitled customers all the time, just going in and being nice to them will probably get you 90% of the way there.

  • impoze on 11/05/2023 - 12:55

    RIP skyline

  • PVA on 11/05/2023 - 12:56

    I am suprised they actually do refurb them. I thought they would only wipe the outside and put it in a box.

    Edit ..OP where does it say what you posted.
    Listing says…
    Perform a check on all components
    Inspect all ports and inputs
    Refurbish or replace parts to meet our standards
    Format the console and restore the system
    Give it a good clean!

    Nothing about opening it up and new thermal paste etc.

    • CyberMurning on 11/05/2023 - 13:05

      Nothing about opening it up and new thermal paste etc.
      i dont think so, they just put up "Refurbish or replace parts to meet our standards" but in reality none happening. if not turn on after the seller/customer go, then probably they just bin it.

    • SpeedRunnerLink on 11/05/2023 - 13:25

      They dont refurb crap or check properly.

      I bought some consoles from them in the past and nothing was opened up.

      In addition they were full of gunk and grime so it wasnt even cleaned.

      I would compare them to DK Oldies in regards to not attempting any refurb at all and claiming it as refurb.

  • Wasgood on 11/05/2023 - 12:59

    Replace capacitors? What about the resistors?!

    I'm glad they do the thermal paste, mine was pretty crusty.

    • PVA on 11/05/2023 - 13:02

      The link doesnt mention all that though… just says basically check ports and clean.

      • Wasgood on 11/05/2023 - 13:15

        My bad I only read the unedited post.

    • 10101010101 on 11/05/2023 - 13:07

      Do resistors fail with age though?

      • Wasgood on 11/05/2023 - 13:12

        Typically neither do surface mount capacitors. The larger through hole ones can boil and subsequently leak through time.

  • BertieBrown on 11/05/2023 - 13:10

    Not trying to be a dick here - but can OP verify that EBGames do actually (as a matter of course) reapply thermal paste, test capacitors, and deep clean ports etc?

    Just seems a little vague on the official website that those things are performed on each console - as PVA already pointed out too.

    • gibbo_au on 11/05/2023 - 13:16
      +1

      They will do the bare minimum needed to sell. Give it a quick clean then out for sale. Anything else is costing time and money.

      • BertieBrown on 11/05/2023 - 13:33

        That was my thoughts too. Seems a little odd that the OP is suggesting otherwise, but would like to know if they have more information.

        Edit - just saw mod team has changed the details of the deal.

    • JPNx on 11/05/2023 - 13:31

      They will not do that at all, Most of that is where it would be going to a 3rd Party Repairer.
      The item i doubt will even leave the store, somebody will bring it in the workers will check it out, plug it in make sure everything works based off a check box list if something doesnt look right most likely swap ie. bad controller etc.

      A full refurb service opening it up would add another $100++ to the cost.

      • BertieBrown on 11/05/2023 - 13:33

        Yeah it would definitely be adding to it for sure. Hopefully OP can provide some clarity.

        Edit - nevermind just saw it’s been edited by mod team.

        • PVA on 11/05/2023 - 14:22

          Nice that they also changed OPs foul username.

      • CyberMurning on 11/05/2023 - 14:58

        yeah this swap thing for EBG is just a marketing they willing to take loss, to get people coming back to their shop and hopefully loyal.

  • PVA on 11/05/2023 - 13:10

    About $20 Cheaper on their EBay store.

  • DanasaurusRAWR on 11/05/2023 - 13:20

    This is the original RRP, not really a deal at all

    • Jamiea on 11/05/2023 - 13:27

      Agreed, this price is a joke. I bought mine for only $50 more back in 2017..

    • Commodore64 on 11/05/2023 - 14:33

      It’s really not.

  • Steakz on 11/05/2023 - 13:31

    Doesn't the OLED model go on sale ~$400 fairly regularly?

    • M00Cow on 11/05/2023 - 15:43

      Paid $425 last xmas at bigw

      • CyberMurning on 11/05/2023 - 17:07

        many here got that oled splatoon for $379

        • Steakz on 11/05/2023 - 18:45

          Ikr, I got 2 OLEDs for the kids last year in two separate deals $399/407. One would have to be a mad man to pay that much for a used none oled.

  • tdonovic on 11/05/2023 - 13:43

    You can get used consoles on gumtree/fb marketplace for $170 even lower. Im not sure why you would bother buying what will be the same quality console from eb, for twice the price

    • scottySK on 11/05/2023 - 13:53

      Only benefit is warranty. But if you can check that it works at someone's place before you pay them I think Gumtree/fb marketplace is the way to go

    • CyberMurning on 11/05/2023 - 14:59

      what ? just 170 ?

    • Iggemo on 11/05/2023 - 15:02

      Yeah you are right about price. i've been looking for a while for pre-owned and 170-190 is the common sweet spot. I ended up getting a lite from cashies of all places for $140 so i just cant agree this is a deal at all, seems wayyyy overpriced to me.

      • SpeedRunnerLink on 11/05/2023 - 15:17
        +1

        Plenty on FB marketplace or gumtree.

        I scored my OLED Switch used with games which I sold off and the OLED Switch ended up costing $200.

        I also picked up a V1 Unpatched Switch with 20 physical games, Pro controller and extra Wireless controller for $580.

  • chromium on 11/05/2023 - 16:45

    I paid $315 brand new from Amazon in a lightning sale 5 years ago. Not much of a deal here :)

  • Budju on 11/05/2023 - 17:38

    lol you can buy these things new for not much more.

  • locknuts on 11/05/2023 - 18:11

    Paid $350 with the Harvey Norman Amex deal in 2017 or 2018. This seems really high 5+ years later.
