I have an unpatched Switch sitting around which I barely use these days because I upgraded to the OLED. It's not banned but has a dead pixel and signs of wear on the plastic. The Joy-Cons drift like it's Mario Kart. The battery health is probably bad because it charges slowly and drains quickly.
Are original Switches worth selling?

but with the problems you are describing the price will drop some.
Would still be mighty fine for a user who plans to do all his gaming while docked, using a pro controller. I would say don't drop the price too much, OP. An unpatched Switch is highly sought after. You just need to find the right buyer.
Honestly with all those issues and depending on where you are, you could get anywhere from 150 - 250. Just because it's unpatched. These prices are also from before the rp2040 chips became more affordable. So probably between 100 and 200
Where I actually live (not Peru) I'm not required to pay tax on the sale because I didn't buy it for the purpose of selling it and haven't done anything to increase its value. I don't know what eBay does because I don't use it.
Are you selling it online or in person? If it's in person that of course is the same here in America. Ebay used to be tax free but Government had to stick their noses in and put taxes on it because people were making a living off selling and not paying taxes. I can almost understand that if you're selling hundreds of items every day but someone that owns something and wants to sell it and barely does any selling should not be taxed for something they already bought.
Probably the Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree. I don't use eBay. Looks to me like the IRS in America doesn't define the word "business" properly.
They're just greedy assholes that don't care about the people tax us to death yet send billions to other countries. America has changed a lot gotten worse.

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.+1

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.+1
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
