How would you split the price for this Nintendo Switch?

I have a switch bought from new.

I wanted a 2nd set of controllers and some more games.

I've bought a used switch. Base. Screen. 2 controllers. 8 games.

I am keeping the controllers and 6 games.

A friend wants the base and 2 games. Mario Kart 8 and Zelda (she will have to buy her own controllers)

How would you split the £150?

£100/ £50? Sounds like you have got a great deal

WhatTheNightBrings · 12/02/2019 17:50

£50 for the base and 2 games?

£100 for the controllers and 6 games.

BrendaUrie · 12/02/2019 17:50

To whom?

OP posts:
BrendaUrie · 12/02/2019 17:51

Have to point out that only 2 of the games I'm keeping are '£50 ones'

The rest are cheapies

£100 you £50 your friend.

Lightofday · 12/02/2019 17:52

Tough one...90 for u 60 for her? Somewhere around that. 80/70 maybe...

BrendaUrie · 12/02/2019 17:53

Surely the base and screen are the more expensive part?

Controllers are 70 extra making the console/screen around 200

OP posts:
Lightofday · 12/02/2019 17:55

Yeah but...8 games...

Plus, based on your deal.. I wouldn't ask her for any more than 70 that's for sure.

WhatTheNightBrings · 12/02/2019 17:56

Yeah, 70 for controllers, and you're getting 6 games for your other 30 quid.

You bought the set. She's only buying what you don't want.

How much do you think she should give you for the base and 2 games?

CrazyCrunk · 12/02/2019 17:58

How much you paid for the used set is irrelevant, charge her what you think it's worth for what she's having. You could charge her 150 if you wanted. (Might be mean though!) have a look on eBay for what it's worth and give her a good deal.

MyDcAreMarvel · 12/02/2019 18:07

Why ask if you are unhappy with the answer. The base isn’t worth more than the controllers and six games !
Don’t rip off your friend.

WhatTheNightBrings · 12/02/2019 18:09

I asked my DC who is obsessed with her switch and she says your friend should pay £50.

gamerwidow · 12/02/2019 18:11

How much would the controllers and 6 games normally be second hand? New that lot would cost about £300 so more than a new console plus she has to spend at least another £30 to get a controller.

SpoonBlender · 12/02/2019 18:20

Who's getting the screen? You missed that bit Brenda.

BrendaUrie · 12/02/2019 18:21

Friend is getting screen. Base. Case. Zelda. Mario Kart.

I'm just have the controllers and 2 expensive games. 6 cheapies.

I would probably sell that for £200, probably more to be honest. The games alone are about £70 for the pair second hand, and the rest is essentially an entire switch just without the controllers. People are selling just the switch console screen with nothing else on ebay for £150 upwards.

MyDcAreMarvel · 12/02/2019 18:37

Biker they are splitting the cost of £150’paid. The op is not selling on for a profit.

WhatTheNightBrings · 12/02/2019 18:37

Okay, are we actually working with all the information now?

Maybe £75.

What do you each think she should pay?

Angelinthenightx · 12/02/2019 18:48

Id say £50 but if its bits u diddnt want id give it for nothing, ive gave friends so much things over the years expensive things aswell.

BrendaUrie · 12/02/2019 19:34

It's hard as it's a friend. I could keep the 3 games I want and controllers and sell the switch with 5 games for 150 and basically get the bits I want free. But when she asked I did say she could have it.

I'll see what she says

OP posts:
IceRebel · 12/02/2019 20:51

I would be asking friend for £120 easily. It doesn't matter how much you paid, it's how much the items she wants are worth. If she doesn't want to pay £120 then she can try and find a switch, base, Zelda and Mario for less...

she won't be able to.

Sandsnake · 12/02/2019 20:59

I don’t know anything about a Switch. I would think a fair way would be to total up how much the respective items would be new and then pro-rata it based on the £150 you paid for the bundle.

BrendaUrie · 12/02/2019 22:40

I decided I only wanted 2 games and controllers.

So friend is having 6 games. Screen. Case. Mount. Leads for £100.

Her offer

gamerwidow · 13/02/2019 19:25

Well it sounds like you’ve got a deal you’re both happy with then. Good result!
