Used Nintendo Switch consoles in Hobart typically sell for A$210 to A$420 (about $150 to $295). There are several quite different consoles under one name, and buyers price the OLED, standard and Lite versions very differently.
Selling a Nintendo Switch in Hobart
Hobart is the country’s second-oldest city and the coldest of its capitals, with a great deal of genuinely old housing stock still standing below the mountain. It is the departure point for Antarctic expeditions and has a strong arts and market culture, and both of those put unusual things into circulation.
Antarctic and research programmes rotate people through on fixed contracts, and the colonial-era housing stock turns over with genuinely old contents. Winter here is long and cold, so warm clothing and heating-adjacent goods move seasonally.
The city is built on hills and the older streets are narrow and steep, so access matters more here than the short distances suggest. The waterfront and the centre are the easy places to meet; anything up the slope needs a conversation about parking.
Measure the stairwell and the doorway, not just the item. A great deal of housing here is old, steep and narrow, and that is the commonest reason a furniture collection falls through in this city.
Handing it over in Hobart
Australia’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect. Around Battery Point, North Hobart and Sandy Bay are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

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
Working out what yours is worth
- Identify which model you have: standard, OLED or Lite
- Check the dock, cables and box are present
Getting it ready
- Identify the model precisely — original, revised battery version, OLED or Lite — because the prices differ substantially.
- Factory reset the console, remove your Nintendo Account, and gather the dock, HDMI, power adapter and Joy-Con grip.

Put in the description
- Model: original, revised, OLED or Lite
- Joy-Con drift status for each stick, tested not guessed
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.
