It checks out, everything looks good. Zelda's still in the plastic too. He said it was a gift but he didn't want it.
Why I don't get gifts like that.

Does anyone know if Gamestop will allow you to trade in your older consoles toward the purchase of a Switch if they don't have any in stock. Would they put you on a waitlist and apply the trade in credit toward the Switch when the receive more in stock. I really want to take advantage of the extra trade in credit deal they have going on. I want to trade in my OG Xbox One, New 3DS, OG 3DS, and Vita towards the Switch. I figure this is a good way to perform some housekeeping, eliminate some clutter, and get a new console in the process. I would also trade in my Wii U, but I need to keep that until I'm done with Zelda.
iStockNow told me a nearby Walmart had some Switches in so I went to go check it out. BrickSeek told me the same thing a couple weeks ago but I found nothing so I wasn't really expecting anything this time either but...
I guess it paid off, they got some in last night. Finally, time to Zelda.
So do you like Legend of Zelda?

damn I wish Pittsburgh had Prime Now. Cincy but not Pittsburgh?!
I see iStock showing some at Target but no way I'm getting over there. SIGH.
Since it's new I would say go for it( especially with the receipt). Though I wonder from the seller's side, what exactly is the point of going through the trouble of getting a Switch to sell it for $30-$40 profit? Unless he's got a bunch of them and he's hoping to make a few hundred from the accumulated sales.
I think that's been there forever. You can't actually buy it though if it's the one I'm thinking of.$260 Grey one on Amazon from a seller with 84% rating.

No idea, I'm tempted to try though.

Nah, a true Zelda fan would have changed his desktop's background to something Link-related.
iStickNow and BrickSeek both said a local walmart had 5 switches in stock, but just called them and they said they were completely out. YMMV using them.
I would bet more on the Switch tbhIt's as authentic as your insider Amazon friend.

Woke up early to be at Walmart for 6 am opening. Brickseek said 5 yesterday and 3 last night and this morning. I called when they had 5 and they said an order was coming, but clearly it was there. This morning dude said they had 0 after I waited outside for 40 mins. Told him I checked stock and there should be 3 and please, can you check in back or something. They called a manager and they were holding the 3 Switches somewhere. In the time I waited a second dude came up to buy one. 3rd probably sold after I walked out.
I'm ready for splatoon 2 test fire! And Zelda! Lots of running around and questionable answers over the phone, but it finally happened.
Seems like the gamestops in my area (MA) finally got their shipments today. I was able to grab one this morning

I've been wondering this for a bit now. Out of curiosity, I hopped on Ebay the other day to check out "sold" listings for Switch. The vast majority of them seemed to sell for $100 to $150 more than MSRP, with most being on the lower end of that spectrum. With Ebay/Paypal fees and shipping costs, I wouldn't really be motivated to go through the trouble for like $40.

Man, Wii Sports was not a 1-2 Switch. It was beloved right away. The Wii was hot fire right away. It didn't take weeks or even days. There was heaps of hype and heaps of naysayers pre-launch like most systems, but the mainstream press were alllllll over Wii and Wii Sports. The comparison to 1-2 Switch is very weak. 1-2 Switch had, has, and will always have no hype. Its parallel is Wii Play if anything.
That's from Gamestop itself (note there is no online stock for direct order but the stores themselves have tons).

it's weird that with this second shipment there's been no stock online. I guess Best Buy had gray systems for like 15 seconds on Monday I think. Other than that nothing.
Amazon Prime Now for the Tampa, Florida area just came through for me. Just put in an order for the Blue/Red Switch console and the Pro controller. YAY!
Now I just got to grab Zelda on the way home.
Yeah that comes off super shady if there's no flier or handout or anything. I probably would've passed too.
Anyone know if Gamestops are also getting Pro Controllers or only Switches?
It's a Web in Store Bundle. It's legit, it's the way they're trying to push more people into purchasing their bundle plans. With the last one you could potentially return at least some of the items you didn't want and trade them in for cash towards something else, say a preorder. With the digital games that's shot down now.
couldn't you sell a digital voucher though?
I was told no, that those and the Zelda guides they won't take back. This comes from my regular Gamestop guy, who's pretty trustworthy. As far as he knows they're not allowed to accept them for trade in.
