We’re always looking to buy Nintendo Switch consoles at Pocket Pawn! Keep reading to find out more about what we pay for them!

how much is my nintendo switch worth?

The Nintendo Switch is THE most popular game console that has released in a while. Everybody wants one, but there are not many used Switch consoles out there for sale.

So, what does this mean if you want to sell yours? Does the price go up? Let’s take a look.

how much is my nintendo switch worth used?

A typical game console will sell used for about 60% of its retail price. Here’s the math: If the game console is $299 brand new, it will usually sell for around $179 used. (60% of $299 is $179)

However, this is NOT the case for the Nintendo Switch console.

The Switch retails for $299, but sells used EASILY for $249! That’s only $50 off the retail price!

This is simply because of demand. It can be hard at times to find a new Nintendo Switch in stores. For instance, while writing this article I checked Gamestop to see if they had any in stock. Nope.

This means that people will pay outrageous prices to get any Nintendo Switch - new OR used.

So where’s the best place to sell the Nintendo Switch…?

where can i sell my nintendo switch?

The absolute quickest way to get rid of your Nintendo Switch is the pawnshop. You can literally take your game console to the pawnshop TODAY and get cash for your Switch. That easy.

There are a couple of other options for you to get rid of your Nintendo Switch game console, though. We’ll take a look at all of them:

Pawn shop

The quickest and easiest way to get rid of your Nintendo Switch! You can walk in the door of most pawnshops and sell your Switch TODAY for cash. That simple.

GameStop

GameStop is also a good choice to sell your Nintendo Switch. When you sell at GameStop, you’ll typically get LESS money than if you sell to a pawnshop - UNLESS you are trading in your console for more games. GameStop always gives more money for store credit.

FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE

This has turned out to be a pretty good place to sell used stuff. You could move your Nintendo Switch within a week or so on Facebook Marketplace. You will, however, have to deal with meeting up with people and possibly having someone stand you up. Everything has its downside.

Ebay

eBay will get you THE MOST money for your Nintendo Switch. We’re not going to deny it. Used Nintendo Switch consoles are selling for top dollar on eBay. However, you will need to create and account, have an active PayPal account, and deal with listing, packaging, and shipping. It might be worth it - or it might not. You decide.

how much will a pawnshop pay me for my nintendo switch?

As of 4/5/20, we are buying and pawning Nintendo Switch consoles for around $150-$175. This offer is just for the Nintendo Switch console, two joy-cons, the dock, and all hookups. If you have extra accessories, controllers, games or anything else - we’ll be glad to make a higher offer.

Remember, selling to a pawnshop is super simple. Just bring your Nintendo Switch and all the accessories to Pocket Pawn, we’ll test it, make you an offer, get your ID, and pay you cash. It’s a quick and easy way to get cash TODAY for your Nintendo Switch.

*Important: When we talk about prices that we pay for items, please note that prices are subject to change.

how much will gamestop pay me for my nintendo switch?

As of 4/5/20, GameStop is buying Nintendo Switch consoles for $140. They do offer $175 store credit right now, but if you want cash - you’ll only get $140.

Like I said earlier, pawnshops will always pay you more cash than GameStop for your video games and consoles. Typically we pay cash what they do in store credit.
