[QUOTE="cukiyoko, post: 9481387, member: 380659"] Hi all, I've been looking at buying an unpatched switch, off gumtree or facebook marketplace, so I can have fun mucking around with CFW. I've noticed a lot of people are selling the tablet only. These people sometimes have lots of switch stuff for sale, so I'm guessing that they are buyer/seller profiteers. However, some don't and I'm not sure if I should be worried as to why they are not including the joy-cons or dock (were they damaged / had the drift problem ect). Is there something I should look out for when purchasing a tablet only switch? I can source the dock/joycons no problem, but don't want to get scammed. My guess is that they have been banned, and the seller wants to shift it and move on. The things I already know to check are: - Look at the serial number / firmware number in the system settings (not just the sticker) to make sure it is safe - Log in with my account and try to go online or to the eshop and download something free (in case they are banned). Alternatively, is it better to not search 'unpatched switch' and just to try and find an old switch from someone who isn't aware of modding. Thanks for any advice. [/QUOTE]
