Comment on Why are they asking about the serial number?

  An example: If Im ever going to sell my Nintendo Switch (1), I’m absolutely going to include the model number. The reason: It’s a launch day Switch. While this means that it is the oldest model and also the battery might have more wear than a newer model, it also suffers from an unpatchable hardware bug that allows you to hack the system (and run homebrew, pirated games, modded games,…).

    Creepy. 🤣 It’s precisely what I’m selling and what I’m being asked about: a launch day Switch (European, if that matters). I of course gave them the number.

      How much are these going for these days? I also have one of the first unpatchable switches.
