It's true. This used to be a hot item and was being sold for almost a K on eBay. It's everywhere now to the point where Amazon had to lower the price a bit. Not worth the purchase tbh since OLED is coming out. I'm happy with my first gen hackable switch as well.TeriyakiJack wrote: ↑ Note to anyone not familiar, the Animal Crossing edition does not actually come with the game itself.

Also don't think the AC version garners any special resale value. It has had plenty of stock at most retailers for a long time.
Yeah it's one of the few special editions that hasn't risen in value, guess they made a lot of them. Only buy it if you really like Animal Crossing.TeriyakiJack wrote: ↑ Note to anyone not familiar, the Animal Crossing edition does not actually come with the game itself.

Yeah this thing just keeps getting restocked. It's a bit amusing to see the Kijiji scalper ads re-appear over and over with each stock cycle

The new oled switch has a bigger screen at the same 720p. Your gaming experience might be worse if handheld especially it's heavier. I'd get the reg swtich from the bonus redemption event from shoppers this weekend or wait for some review before pre-orderring the oled one. The oled switch shouldn't have much manufacturing limits like ps5 or vidoe cards as it doesn't use new chips.Gin Martini wrote: ↑ A sale is a sale, but I'll get the OLED model and spend the extra $70 in difference (not including tax in the math) for the bigger OLED screen and 64 GB storage vs the 32 of current Switch.
If the price difference was more like $100 (so at $350), it could be worth considering it since you can get the Switch right now VS in October trying to get one with limited quantities before the scalpers grab them all with their bots.
***Right now. But I guarantee you this will change once it's out of production and for sure in a generation or two the price will skyrocket. Look at the 3DS special editions. They were basically the same price as the regular versions but now they are 2-3x the price. Trust me, once these are no longer made, stupid collectors will pay crazy amounts for one. If you want a good investment buy one, keep it sealed, and sell it in 10 yearsTeriyakiJack wrote: ↑ Also don't think the AC version garners any special resale value.

You might as well buy $400 of Nintendo stock or other investments. The return might not be as high but the liquidity will be much better and there is also a convenience yield in that 2-3x price.goozy1 wrote: ↑ ***Right now.

When the reason the guy couldn’t get one was some loser bought a bunch to resell for 3x the price it’s a little different. I get what you’re saying but it’s objectively a shitty thing to do, nonetheless brag about months later lol.Teburninator wrote: ↑ He sure did hold a gun to his head. I got my switch through SDM. I had to wait. The guy who bought his didn't. Pay for what you want.
