Anyone have good deals on stuff to go with my Switch that I found in the woods?

Looking for official stuff, preferably used but working, but open to new too.

Joy-cons - possibly 2 pairs, at least 1.
Dock with AC adapter, HDMI cable a bonus.

Shipping would be to 15210.

I posted the exact same thing an hour before you.
LOL

Hopefully he gets one before the sale ends.

Ah crap, I saw Slickdeals and didn’t realize it was a GameStop link. My bad. [emoji16] Gotta bring that Switch back to life!

Thanks for looking out guys, unfortunately I missed the GameStop deal, I'm sure if I'm patient enough I'll be able to land a dock set in the $40-50 range shipped and I'll be happy enough with that. Most eBay sellers seem to want about $70, but the ones that do sell for non-BIN prices are more in my range.

I have some used joy-cons ordered and in transit, paid $80 shipped for 4. I understand the drift issue as I actually had the chance to test the unit with a pair of controllers. The left was fine, the right had major issues with the stick stuck drifting hard right. Made me dizzy trying the Pikmin 3 demo while the camera was spinning...

I ended up swapping out the case back because all the screwposts were busted up on the old one. I lifted the digitzer and that isn't where the moisture is so it must be betweeen the LCD layers and the non-working digitizer must be a separate issue. I'll use it as is for as long as the screen wants to function and just budget the $50 or so to replace the whole digitzer and LCD together later. Are there good games that make use of the handheld touchscreen anyway?

Sure, you could be patient. Or you could just read wtf I said 4 days ago...

Unless someone has one this is probably the cheapest official dock you can get https://store.nintendo.com/catalog/...ock-refurbished-nintendo-switch/category/637/

Appreciate it, but that's just the dock, adding an AC adapter and HDMI separately is another $30 or so depending on where I get them.

I mean I've not cracked open the switch I just bought but it's just a USB-C adapter for power, yeah? Can you not just grab a $10 USB-C cable and plug it into yer TV or similar for power? And who doesn't have half a dozen HDMI cables sitting around?...

Unfortunately not. The AC adapter is a USB-C end, but if you use a different source the dock will say that the official AC Adapter needs to be used, denying you the ability to play docked. I tried this when forgetting my AC adapter once.

It could be the Switch dock requiring 15V/

That's some bullshit.

Kinda like the bullshit when I ordered a refurb 3DS XL from Nintendo a couple weeks back. I didn't even think to look if it came with the AC adapter, because you need it to use the system so they must include one, right?.... lolfuqno. So I had to order from them again to get a damn AC adapter to even use the damn thing. Oh well, just had to pay shipping a second time isn't so bad I suppose, but it is in fuckin beautiful condition. I'd not know it was ever even used.

Anything to make sure to get a few extra bucks outta ya, huh?
