This trade in deal mainly turns a Switch OLED or original Switch into a cheaper Switch 2, with the strongest appeal being the high trade value and easy in store pickup when the promo is recognized. The Switch 2 adds 1080p, HDR, VRR, faster loads, and smoother gameplay, while still playing Switch 1 games. The main knocks are the LCD screen, which can look washed out or smeary next to OLED, and the shorter battery life. Trade in rules and store handling vary, so accessories, model selection, and promo application can affect the final total.

I was wondering something along these lines because when I say I have a switch with blue/red joycons it presents the mario kart bundle or the regular one... and the mario kart one it only offers $75 for..
As it turns out! I have two switches, both are v2 units with xkw serial numbers and hac001(-01) on the back. And the one I want to trade in was a 'mario kart bundle' unit lol.
How do I make sure they give me $150 for it and not $75?
They scanned mine that is HAC001, and there are no issues. Go give it a try. Worst case is they won't accept it.
They took my 8 year old switch even though both joycons had drift, they didn't even power it on.
Not sure how good a deal this was but after the thousands of hours I got on mine getting 60% trade in value for what I paid seemed worthwhile
Also, I would never play in handheld mode, so the handheld screen not being oled shouldn't be a big deal to me. I would normally not get the switch 2, given how little I played the original, but that is just because I stopped gaming and never got around to it, but plan to go back to gaming more. I have a ps5 also and have sued it even less than the switch. lol.
Now if only best buy had a sale on the switch 2. sigh.
Also, I just notice I have every single accessory, the box, even the plastic bags everything was wrapped in... Luckily I searched online to see if the usb charging cable came with the console or the pro controller or I;d be accidentally giving them that too. But anyway whoever gets this will pretty much be getting an ALMOST unused system, complete with everything, and it being the day 1 version.

The CSR who helped me didn't even turn it on and but (very) closely inspected the condition on the console and the glass. I didn't have the two joycon wrist straps and was worried he would give me trouble about that but didn't mention it.
Right now this is the best value you can get for your switch/OLED
I would absolutely buy a S2 right now if it was OLED all over again because of how good the S1 oled was ! It was a night and day difference for sure !

She said the $150 could be seen on her screen and that it would be credited back to my card in a couple of days. Super easy, but fair warning that I think what you turn in depends heavily on the worker checking the items.
