5 Places To Buy A Refurbished Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally coming in 2025 after all those rumors floating around. Whether you already love your Switch or you've been waiting to jump in, we bet you can't wait to try out the new model.

‍

Here's the thing, though — if you are on a budget (word is the Switch 2 might cost between $399 and $499), you might want to stick with the first Switch. That’s a planet-friendly option, too!

‍

And if you don’t own one yet, here’s another economical and sustainable option — get a refurbished Nintendo Switch. You'll help extend the life of these devices and cut down on e-waste while saving some cash.

Here are five great places where you can find a refurbished Nintendo Switch:

‍

Amazon Renewed

‍

Amazon Renewed sells pre-owned or refurbished electronics, including the Nintendo Switch. All the products are inspected, tested, and refurbished and come with accessories that you would get with a new model. The renewed products are also eligible for replacement or refund under the Amazon Renewed Guarantee.

‍

Swappa

‍

Swappa is a marketplace for used electronics, including gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch OLED, Nintendo Switch Lite, and Nintendo Switch. You can filter listings by condition, location, and price to find your ideal device. You might even discover new or mint-condition products at discounted rates. Swappa ensures quality by requiring sellers to follow strict listing criteria.

‍

Back Market

‍

Similar to Swappa, BackMarket is also a marketplace for refurbished devices. But instead of dealing with the sellers directly, you buy your products from BackMarket. It works with professional refurbishers and offers used electronic gadgets backed by free 30-day returns and 1-year warranty. Every device undergoes a factory data reset before sale. You can find everything from classic Nintendo Gameboys to the latest Nintendo Switch OLED models on their platform.

‍

eBay

‍

No list of places to buy secondhand goods would be complete without eBay. A quick search for Nintendo Switch yields thousands of listings. Using the extensive filtering options, you can find a device that matches your needs — whether it's storage capacity, price range, or condition. You can also check seller ratings to ensure you're buying your refurbished Nintendo Switch from a reliable source.

‍

Facebook Marketplace

‍

Facebook Marketplace is another option for buying refurbished electronics. Since these transactions aren't backed by a platform's protection, take precautions: meet the seller in person, ask thorough questions, carefully verify the product details, and conduct the transaction in a safe, public location.
