Switch 2 is inevitable, which means you can consider the update. But what to do with your elderly console? You can keep it, but Switch 2 is compatible back – and some games have improvements on the up-to-date console. For some of you, the sale of a switch can be the most sensible, especially if you want to support you get the price of Switch 2,449.99 USD. If you debate the hawking of your elderly console, it’s time to take action. The sooner you do it, the better.
As someone who sold Switch Lite shortly after the collapse of news about further news, I was surprised that typical market values for the console version used were quite low in resale of sites, such as eBay and Facebook Marketplace. Lite in good condition can be sold for 100 to 120 USD, which is more depending on whether it has such things as games or memory cards. This is almost half the cost of the console, when it was originally released in 2019, and barely over what you need to afford the up-to-date game Switch 2.
On the other hand, the fully switch 1 in a decent shape can take you anywhere from 165 to 250 USD. In addition to games and accessories, prices can be influenced by factors such as this whether you still have an original box, strings and doc. The model also matters; OLED versions prove better prices, while older models are slightly cheaper. It seems that it seems that you have a switch from the original launch period or switch with a “low” serial number. This equipment, which is apparently easier for the module, is wanted by hackers.
You also have the option of replacing the console in Gamestop, where the loan can go directly to the purchase of Switch 2. But commercial values are relatively unspoiled, especially if you do not have a Gamestop Pro membership or if you want cash on the loan in the store. Without a PRO account – which costs money – the switch can only make up to USD 85 in a store or almost 60 USD per offers.
Gamestop prices reflect what can be a universal truth in the near future: the longer you wait, the lower the value may become. We are in this strange fleeting period in which Switch 2 will think about game communities before, and the console can be challenging to get to know. But the average person may not know what switch 2 is or why he may want it. Hardcore fans can unload their elderly consoles to the left and right, but the proverbial market is not as saturated now as it will be when switch 2 goes fully and is observable everywhere. Come in the holiday season, families will think everywhere about the latest and largest technology that can be given – and the used consoles dawns 1 can become a common view.
The chances of seeing values fall even further than where they are now, are a real possibility as time passed. We have already seen some of them in action; Gamestop initially offered a commercial value in the amount of USD 175 for anyone who placed this money to order Switch 2. A few months later they offer less than half of what they used to be.
There is an argument for powerful sticking to switch 1. It may be a sentimental value. You can wait for Switch 2 to have more needs. It’s not like Switch Lite takes up a lot of space, right? If you play a long game and you are ready to change for years, you can theoretically get more than what someone is ready to pay now. I mean, I also sold 3DS this year. I was able to double, whoever was ready to pay for Switch Lite, even though he sells it with a diminutive discount. He also sold for more than what I could get on a well -durable OLED switch. This is the power of retro games for you. Presumably, when switch 1 is interrupted and less widespread, it will be more challenging to find – which would make it more valuable.
But who is patient with this? Perhaps it is better to be on sale now than the risk of an inevitable price drop if you want a up-to-date console. Switch 2 will not be cheaper in the near future. If so, it can become more pricey.
