Used Nintendo Switch consoles in Aberdeen typically sell for £110 to £220 (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 Aberdeen
Aberdeen is built almost entirely of granite, which gives it a colour nothing else in the country has, and it has been the oil capital of Europe for fifty years. It has two universities, a working harbour and a climate that is genuinely cold and windy rather than merely northern.
Offshore rotations move households on fixed cycles and the oil sector’s ups and downs move the whole market at once rather than gradually. Two universities clear student housing each summer.
The centre is compact and walkable and the station is central. Wind here is constant rather than occasional, which matters for anything being carried or loaded outdoors.
On anything with exposed metal, check for corrosion. Salt air and constant wind together are hard on hardware here, and the granite dust gets into moving parts as well.
Handing it over in Aberdeen
Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels.

What Nintendo Switch consoles are worth
What lifts the price
- Joy-Cons with no drift — the single most asked-about fault
- Original dock, cables and box
What pulls it down
- Missing dock, which makes the console handheld-only
- Screen scratches on unprotected units
Working out what yours is worth
- Identify which model you have: standard, OLED or Lite
- Test both Joy-Cons for drift in the system calibration menu
Getting it ready
- Test both Joy-Con sticks in the system calibration menu and note honestly whether either drifts.
- Factory reset the console, remove your Nintendo Account, and gather the dock, HDMI, power adapter and Joy-Con grip.

Put in the description
- Whether the dock, HDMI cable and power adapter are all included
- 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.

Do the Joy-Cons drift?
Test both in calibration and answer per stick. Drift is so common that buyers expect the question answered; silence reads as concealment.
