Why buy pre owned Nintendo Switch consoles from Mintro

A pre owned Switch saves you a significant amount against buying new, so there is more left over for the games themselves.

Buying pre owned avoids the carbon cost of manufacturing new.

A real specialist checks and photographs every console individually, so the Switch you see in the photos is the exact one that arrives.

Buy with total flexibility. Our Buyback scheme lets you sell your Switch back to Mintro at any time, and Layaway lets you reserve a console with a 20 percent deposit and pay the balance over up to 12 weeks, with no credit checks, no interest and no fees added.

Frequently asked questions

Are the consoles tested?

Yes. Every Nintendo Switch is fully tested by a Mintro specialist before sale. We confirm it powers on cleanly, check the screen in handheld mode, verify HDMI output through the dock where included, test the Joy Con controllers with a joystick drift check, and check all ports, WiFi, Bluetooth and battery health.
Do they include Joy-Cons and a dock?

Yes, where the model uses them. The original Switch and the Switch OLED come with Joy Con controllers and a dock for TV play. The Switch Lite is a dedicated handheld with controls built in, so no dock is needed. Every Mintro listing states exactly what is included.
Is there a warranty?

Yes. Every Nintendo Switch is protected by the 24 month Mintro Guarantee, covering faults for two full years. Accidental damage, water damage and misuse are not covered. It is one of the strongest guarantees on the pre owned market.
What's the difference between Switch, Lite and OLED?

The original Switch plays on your TV through the dock or in handheld mode. The Switch Lite is smaller, lighter and handheld only, with controls built in. The Switch OLED also docks to your TV and adds a larger, more vivid OLED screen. All three play Switch game cards.
