Used Nintendo Switch consoles in Geelong typically sell for A$210 to A$420 (about $150 to $295). Switch buyers check two things before anything else: whether the Joy-Cons drift, and whether it is the original model, the newer OLED or the handheld-only Lite.
Selling a Nintendo Switch in Geelong
Geelong built its wealth on wool and then on car manufacturing, and the closure of the plant reshaped the city into a port, university and health town instead. It is the gateway to the surf coast, and close enough to Melbourne that a great many people commute.
Manufacturing decline left a deep pool of good tools in private hands, and the university turns student households over annually. Commuter families moving down from Melbourne add a steady stream of furniture in both directions.
The city is compact and driving is straightforward, and the rail line to Melbourne makes small handovers easy without a car. For anything large, the waterfront and the centre are easier to load from than the older inner streets.
On tools from a manufacturing background, ask their age and whether they ran daily. Ex-industrial equipment is often excellent value here but it has done far more hours than a domestic machine of the same year.

What Nintendo Switch consoles are worth
What lifts the price
- Original dock, cables and box
- A larger microSD card left in place
What pulls it down
- Screen scratches on unprotected units
- Lite models, which sell for noticeably less than the others
Working out what yours is worth
- Test both Joy-Cons for drift in the system calibration menu
- Check the dock, cables and box are present
Getting it ready
- Test both Joy-Con sticks in the system calibration menu and note honestly whether either drifts.
- Identify the model precisely — original, revised battery version, OLED or Lite — because the prices differ substantially.
Photograph
- The screen straight on with a bright image, to show scratches
- The Joy-Con sticks and the rails, close up
Put in the description
- Joy-Con drift status for each stick, tested not guessed
- Screen condition, and whether a protector has been fitted
Model first, then contents: “Nintendo Switch OLED with Dock and Two Joy-Cons”. The Lite cannot dock and the OLED has a much better screen, so buyers filter hard on this. State drift status in the description honestly — many buyers will still buy, because Joy-Con repair is cheap and well documented.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
