Nintendo Switch (Standard) -- Fair Used Price in Ireland 2026

Overview

The standard Nintendo Switch (2017-2021 models) has a 6.2-inch LCD screen and is the most budget-friendly way to play Switch games. On Adverts.ie it is very commonly listed, with fair prices between EUR 160 and EUR 230 depending on the revision and included accessories.

What affects the price on Adverts.ie

• Model revision: the 2019 model (red box) has better battery life and is worth EUR 20-40 more than the 2017 launch model
• Included games: 2-3 popular titles add EUR 40-80
• Accessories: dock, Joy-Con straps, and grip add EUR 15-25
• Screen condition: scratches on the plastic screen are very common
• Original box adds EUR 10-15

What to look for when buying

• Same checks as OLED: Joy-Con drift, screen condition, Game Card slot
• Check the model number on the bottom: HAC-001(-01) is the 2019 revision with better battery
• The original 2017 model has poor battery life (2.5-6 hours), factor this into your offer
• Test that the console charges properly via USB-C (the port loosens over time)
• Check the rail system for Joy-Con attachment (loose rails mean replacement needed)

Common overpricing patterns to watch for

• 2017 launch models with poor battery listed at the same price as the 2019 revision
• Listed at EUR 250+ when OLED models are available for EUR 280
• Sellers describing 'like new' when the screen has visible micro-scratches
