What does buying used switch games mean?

hi all,
um i wanted to ak what does buying siwtch games in used condition mean as to buying them new and at full price?

for example i bought Tales of Vesperia DE from amazon uk that was used, but in very good condition and the box was great and had no scuffs or such.
only the MYnintendo gold coins were used.

thanx.

 

well yeah, i agree with you on that, gonging digital over physical has it's merits, but you need a big sd card for it tho,
i only have a 64gb atm, tho a 128gb isn't that exp nowadays, it's only 30euros,
nut i'd rather buy a game or dlc pack for that money instead,
pyshical is nice for me as i sold all my prevoius games i had to make money for the swicth,
having the boxes in my collection is nice to see and the games don't takeup any space on my sd sinc they are all on carts.

the only time i'd got for anything digital on switch is for dlc or an game that i can't get in a pyiscal from like bloodstained moon 1/2 or megaman zero colletion.
the gold coins you get are more for digital, pyhiscal they are only like 1.50e or 2.00, and if they are like 1 or 2 years old, you don't get any coins?

i mean if i buy the game new, but it is 1 or 2 years old, will i still get the coins it gives you when you redeem it?

yeah, im thinking of getting ocotpath after trying the demo, finding a used switch game and at a slightly lower price than it's retail (even if it is 1/2 years old is rather tricky, and kinda impossble, i have not found any games that i want to fall below their intial price),
well save for FFXII ZA that i got for 31euro recently, but other games like xenblade 2 or tales of vesperia.

save for hyrule warroirs that i got for 50e instead of 60e (it was on sale at the time).

finding used switch games for a lower price than retail is tough, but it's possble.
