- Nintendo Switch 2 early orders have started in the United States
- We have seen several eBay listings that promise an early order from Switch 2, but they are not what they seem
- Instead of a console, you will get a photo of the Switch 2
Nintendo Switch 2 early orders are happening at this time, or at least they were until the supplies were dried in almost all important retailers. At this time, some have addressed Ebay, where, naturally, there are marked in next-generation pre-orders.
At least that’s what they seem to be, but the truth is much more encouraging.
It has been a path full of potholes for the Nintendo Switch 2. Although the first practical reports praised the product for its larger size, larger screen, faster processor, more storage and Joy-Cons, some were annoying for not having come with an OLED screen.
Then, imminent American tariffs put the anticipated ordering process on hold, and slid from April 8 to April 24.
At least Nintendo struggled to manage direct sales by limiting these first orders to those who have an online membership of Nintendo Switch for at least the last 12 months and those who could also prove that they have played at least 50 hours on the platform.
These efforts should have reduced the number of early buyers to a more manageable size and also rejected the coatings. Meanwhile, other retailers such as Best Buy, Gamestop, Walmart and Target opened early orders without those stipulations. And taking into account how quickly the supplies have been drained, it is not clear that the coatings did not do their dirty work yet.
At least a few Ebay entrepreneur sellers think so. We find three separate lists that seem anticipated scalp agreements. Two of them are for about $ 500, which is not bad, only $ 50 over the price of the list.
However, these lists include the phrase “Read the description!” And that is where he learns that he is not offering in the real console but in an impression of the test of another person of an anticipated order of Nintendo Switch 2.
Why would Ebay sellers do this? Apparently, it is a noble action. Here is a description (all tapas are yours):
“*This is a list to avoid bots/resellers absolutely no refund ** You are buying an image of my anticipated order and an image of a Switch Two console. Not the real system not again to avoid bots and resellers*
Another wrote: “This is an image of a Nintendo Switch 2!
It is interesting that the second call bots, systems that could automate the mass purchase and then the massive list of climbing items.
Works? Not necessarily. We had no problem finding a list of $ 749.99, which had 28 observers at the time of writing, and that is described as an objective order of a Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World package.
It doesn’t matter what, it is clear that it is worth reading those eBay descriptions, and if you don’t want to pay more for the Nintendo Switch 2, maybe wait until general sales open next month.
