Trade In Your Nintendo Switch | Advice Centre

If you've upgraded your gaming setup, no longer use your handheld console regularly, or are planning to move on to newer gaming hardware, now could be the perfect time to trade in your Nintendo Switch. Rather than leaving your console unused, you can turn it into cash while helping extend the lifespan of valuable technology.

The quick verdict

If your Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED or Switch Lite is no longer getting much use, trade it in sooner rather than later, as values gradually fall when new gaming hardware arrives. Envirofone gives you an instant valuation and pays once the console has been assessed. Well-maintained consoles that include their original accessories and Joy-Con controllers often get stronger offers, and your Switch gets a second life with another gamer.

Why Trade In Your Nintendo Switch?

The Nintendo Switch remains one of the most popular gaming consoles ever released, but technology naturally depreciates over time. As new gaming hardware enters the market and consumer demand evolves, trade-in values can gradually decrease.

Receive cash for an unused console
Put money towards your next gaming purchase

Instead of letting your console gather dust, trading it in allows someone else to enjoy the device while you benefit financially.
