Sell your Nintendo Switch for cash
Your Switch’s Joy-Con drift won’t stop us buying it, but the drawer it’s sitting in will, if you leave it there long enough. Get an instant offer in under a minute.
How it works
Get your instant offer
Select Nintendo Switch as the brand and get your instant offer.
Free collection
Accept it, and we’ll collect for free, anywhere in South Africa.
We test it
We test it against what you told us, including checking for Joy-Con drift, so there’s no last-minute haggling on the tested offer.
Get paid
Paid within 5 days, or more via voucher or consignment sale.
What determines your Switch’s offer
Model
Switch, Switch Lite, Switch OLED or Switch 2 are the biggest driver of your offer.
Screen and body condition
Cracks, deep scratches or joystick wear lower the offer. Tell us honestly and we’ll grade it accordingly.
What’s included
The dock, Joy-Cons and original box in good condition improve your offer, but they’re not required.
No account removal needed
There’s no Nintendo Account lock that survives a factory reset, so there’s nothing you need to sign out of before selling.
Epic Deals vs the alternatives
This isn’t a boss fight.
| Epic Deals | Classifieds | Pawn shop | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price haggling | No last-minute haggling on the tested offer | Constant lowballing and ‘final offer’ haggling | Take it or leave it |
| Payment speed | 5 days | Weeks to find a serious buyer | Immediate but low |
| Collection | Free nationwide courier | Meet a stranger | Walk-in only |
| Safety | VAT-registered, Ombud-accredited business | Fake-payment risk | Varies |
Why sell now, not later
The Switch has had one of the best resale runs of any console, but every rumour of a Switch 2 price cut or a fresh Nintendo Direct nudges the value of yours down a little. It doesn’t crash the way a phone’s resale value does after a launch, it erodes quietly, rumour by rumour. Selling while demand for yours is still strong, rather than after the next announcement makes it “the old one”, gets you more.
Why South Africans sell to us specifically
Epic Deals has paid South Africans over R88 million for their used tech since 2013 (yes, actually paid, not “up to”), with 1,800+ real customer reviews. We’re not a stranger from a classifieds app, we’re a registered, VAT-paying South African business with a track record you can check, and a participant in the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud Scheme, the independent, CPA-accredited dispute resolution body for retail complaints in South Africa.
Want more than the instant cash offer?
Cash
Paid within 5 days once we’ve collected and tested your Switch.
Voucher +12%
Take store credit instead of cash. 12% extra, handy if you’re already eyeing whatever Nintendo announces next.
Consignment
We list and sell it on your behalf. Slower than an instant offer, but often worth the wait, think patient investor rather than impulse seller. Paid on average within about 13 working days, usually for more than our instant offer.
Frequently asked questions
Do you buy broken or non-working Switches?
Yes, get an instant offer either way, we’ll grade it accordingly once we’ve tested it.
What about Joy-Con drift?
There’s no field on our form to flag it upfront, so we check for it when your console arrives. If we find drift, we deduct the cost of a replacement Joy-Con rather than rejecting the console.
How long until I get paid?
Within 5 days of us receiving and testing your console, by EFT. Or take our voucher for 12% extra to spend in-store, or sell on consignment for potentially even more.
Do I need the original box or Joy-Cons?
No, but including them in good condition increases your offer.
Is the courier really free?
Yes, anywhere in South Africa.
Do I need to sign out of my Nintendo Account first?
No, there’s no account lock on Switch that survives a factory reset, so there’s nothing to remove before selling.
Do you buy the Switch Lite and OLED models too?
Yes, all Switch models. Select your exact model when getting your instant offer.
Is there a safer way to sell than meeting a stranger from Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree?
That’s exactly what we built this for. No meetups, no fake-payment risk, just a tested offer, free courier collection and a real payment into your account.
