[QUOTE="cukiyoko, post: 9487706, member: 380659"] Hi, so I bought a 2nd hand switch off ebay - it had a serial number XAW7000, and everything seemed legit. It arrived, and I was immediately suspicious, as the box has the XAW7000 serial, but the switch itself has a serial XAW7001583 (ect). Not just the sticker, but also showing up in the software itself. I checked the original listing, and sure enough the photo of the box shows a serial with XAW7000, and the switch itself shows the XAW7001 serial. I don't know how I missed it... Now, according to [URL]https://ismyswitchpatched.com/[/URL] a switch with a XAW7001583 switch should still be patchable. OK, sounds good but I'm still suspicious. I turned it on, and it's on firmware 10.1.0 The guy I bought it from has left himself logged in, and had left a game digitally available on the device, as well as two cartridge games (one which he sold alongside, one which wasn't) I was able to open the game, and even to apply the software update via wifi. I tried to log in to eshop to check if he is banned, but obviously it wants me to update the firmware and won't let me in without updating. What should I do? I'm sure some of this can be answered if I try to patch it, but my jig hasn't arrived yet. I want to find out a) If it is banned b) If it has been modded before c) Anything else I should look at I should add, the guy who sent it to me included his full name, address and phone on the parcel and like I said, didn't even wipe the switch before sending it and left himself logged in. He also left some screenshots in the album - which were all the kind that you take accidentally and were dated 2019. This doesn't seem like the kind of thing someone who scams people would do. However, if he HAD reset the switch after modding it, would those screenshots still be there? So, can someone help me with the steps I should take to find out if I have been scammed somehow? Should I just wait until the jig arrives, or should I try and find out more? I wouldn't be so worried if it wasn't for the different serial stickers... [/QUOTE]

Man we were gonna have a game night at my buddy's house but he wasn't feeling great so he canceled, which throws my dinner plans up into the air, so I guess it's time to order a pizza or something
