I lost my Switch about 6 months ago, and at this point, I have given up hope. So, I decided to look on ebay for Switch tablets. On my search, I ran into this listing: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/133130590500

I understand that it is a bid, but there only seems to be 18 hours remaining. I also don't really care about the issues, as I have a kickstand that was disconnected from my switch. I just want to know if it is safe to go ahead and buy the tablet, as I don't want to get scammed.

That will end up selling for double that price, if not more. Don't get your hopes up.
Just watch the listing, and how much it goes for, then you have a good idea of the price range. Take that knowledge and find a deal. There are plenty to be had, just make sure the seller has a good rating and LOTS of previous positive feedback.

1. You do realize that usually the real bidding only starts 1 or 2 hours before the item runs out, right? This will probably start rising soon.
2.good job in telling a community interested in theses products. That will probably drive up the price even more. If you're the seller: we'll played. If you were genuinely interested in getting it: good job increasing your potential bidding rivals

If the seller has good ratings, it's unlikely to be a scam.

But as people pointed out, price will shoot up in the last couple hours.
Its probably better to keep an eye out for a good buy now price.

Holy shit! I found a great deal on a video game console, that's also an auction! I know what to do, I'll tell a giant video game forum about it, and link them to the auction!
