I'm new to the Nintendo Switch scene.
It all started a few months ago with my childhood nostalgia being activated by the quest to find the original Gameboy.
Then after acquiring one, I realised my eyes can't cope with the strain a Gameboy does to your 44 year old eyeballs.

Was struggling to find a Switch v1 and then as Murphy's law goes, I ended up with 3 all in the space of 2 weeks.
I guess you could call it greed, but I was searching for one for so long, and decided to buy one for myself, my son and a mate. The mate took too long to decide and has since emigrated to New Zealand.

Anyways, below is a bit of info you need to know:

1.) Its in 100% working condition.
2.) All original accessories included, Box, Switch, Joycons x 2, HDMI cable, Charger, Dock, and Controller handle.
3.) The Rear Kickstand is no longer on the rear. I bought it like that. Ive ordered a replacement from Xmods for R165
4.) The manky screen protector was removed on purchase, its completely scratch free and happy to order you one from Takealot if you decide to take it.
5.) The rear has some signs of wear, but almost all secondhand ones do. Nothing serious.
6.) If you pay full asking price I'll include a 128GB Sandisk MicroSD.
7.) You'll notice that 2 vertical plastic fins are broken on the spark grille. Very fragile plastic. Bought it like this.

Just an update, I ordered that back kickstand and fitted it now, so its 100% complete.

Hey man. Sure, I’ll include it no problem

 

[Deryl]

Awesome, can we do it tomorrow evening around 5pm?
I'm in Morningside, Sandton so not too far off from you.
I can meet you at your place or a public space like a mall, whichever you're comfortable with?

Hey man.

Based on you not having an ratings yet from prior sales or purchases, is there anyone you know on the forum who can vouch for you?
Send me a DM and we can chat. If you can come to my offices in Houghton, I'm sure security could mediate the sale provided you send me proof of identity, your vehicle make, model and colour and your registration details.

That's the only other way I would feel comfortable meeting a stranger with no iTrader ratings.
Let me know via DM and we can arrange. Cheers

Proof of identity? Surely you don't mean ID?

Well, that is assuming @Deryl is South African. Not everyone has an ID, but sure, ID, Drivers License, Passport, even a clear legible copy of a Police Clearance will be accepted... 😂

I understand, will dm you now

@Deryl don't send him your ID. Regardless if your iTrader is high or low, it is never a good idea to share your ID to anyone.

Why can't security confirm it at the gate of his office?

What if I blank out my ID and licence number on my drivers license? I can understand his concerns though

I said "proof of identification".
You know, something to prove the complete stranger you are taking a risk to meet up to do a cash sale is the person who they say they are.

Seems to me, security isn't a concern to you, so Im not sure why you're meddling in my sale?

That's fine with me dude. Lets chat on DM

Cool he can send you a link to his facebook account then.

The whole reason I'm "meddling" is for security reasons, seems like you only care about your own safety. Asking for an ID is ridiculous. Just google ID theft.

Most of the bad deals on the forum, where people just flat-out ghosted, had someone sharing their "ID" to create a fake trust factor, so what good does that do you anyway.

Thanks for your "concerns" but Ive dealt with a few people on Carbonite before who had ZERO ratings and almost got scammed before. You seem to be more on the side of the guy with no ratings than someone who has had 43 successful sales which went down with no problems at all.

FYI, I have a Facebook profile which is an Alias and nowhere near my real name or surname, I use it only for Marketplace, so if I was buying something from you, trust me, my Facebook profile would raise even more concerns than give you peace of mind.

The potentially buyer has shared his Drivers license with me with his personal details blanked out. It helps a lot to prove the identity of the person I am meeting is in fact the same guy coming into my workplace.

Anyways, you can relax now okay, I got this from here.

If @Deryl doesn't take it I'm interested. Otherwise all good

He is taking it, we are meeting tomorrow morning, but if anything changes, I'll definitely let you know. Cheers

 

[Dinovdm]

Nice to have met you this morning @Deryl
Enjoy your Switch and happy researching everything you need to familiarise yourself with it.

@eY_b0ss My experience this morning with Daryl was a very positive one and proof that you:

"Don't judge a book (Carbie) by it's cover (iTrader rating)"

In this day and age, you have to be super cautious though, but it's a lesson learnt to treat everyone as innocent until proven guilty. Ha ha.

Closing the thread now.
