I’m auctioning off out/away (? Non native speaker 😅) my old-ish gaming consoles and this person is asking about a unit’s serial number. Why? I mean, I put up more than ten images of the console from various angles and such… What’s the significance?


Ah. I see. Then I’m relieved! :D
An example: If Im ever going to sell my Nintendo Switch (1), I’m absolutely going to include the model number. The reason: It’s a launch day Switch. While this means that it is the oldest model and also the battery might have more wear than a newer model, it also suffers from an unpatchable hardware bug that allows you to hack the system (and run homebrew, pirated games, modded games,…).
Creepy. 🤣 It’s precisely what I’m selling and what I’m being asked about: a launch day Switch (European, if that matters). I of course gave them the number.
How much are these going for these days? I also have one of the first unpatchable switches.
No idea, but I put it out as a bundle with a few games, controllers and such for $100 and within 24 hours nine people have saved it. I have absolutely no evidence to back this up, but I’m imagining that it’ll go for 150 - 200.
