What changes the price of a Nintendo Switch?
- Model. The Nintendo Switch 2 is worth the most, followed by the Switch OLED, the original Switch and the Switch Lite.
- Joy-Con and dock. Working Joy-Con controllers and the dock are expected for home consoles. Joy-Con drift lowers the price.
- Screen. Scratches or cracks on the screen lower the price.
- Condition. Our condition guide explains each grade.
How to check your model
The model number is printed on the back of the console. You can also check in System Settings.
