Is anyone else worried about all the obviously stolen Nintendo Switches on second hand websites? Can't I do something to report this to the police? Makes me want to not even take my switch out in public.

You should set up a meeting to buy one then hand out some vigilante justice.

If you're not getting on a plane, leave that shit at the house.

set up a meeting with the seller and shoot him in the head

why would you take a nintendo switch out in public honest question

plane/train is the one acceptable setting

Report it to the police? What, say "someone is selling Switches on craigslist and that's a crime"?

What makes you think they're stolen and not something else? It could be a person that buys broken ones cheap, fixes them, and sells them for a profit. It could be someone that got a bunch for their family, but the family didn't really want them so they go up for sale. It could be anything, nothing screams "stolen" about these.

you're probably working for the thief

Why worry about it? All shipments are insured and items stolen from a store are already paid for. Nintendo still earns its money.

but the seller is black

Call the cops and report it.

...

It's much more likely they were stolen from other people, not a store. Otherwise, I can't imagine why the seller wouldn't be selling it new in the package and just saying it's an unwanted gift.

>black
nvm LOCK HIM THE FUCK UP

Holy fuck why haven't you called the cops yet? The fuck are you wasting time here?

what makes you think they're stolen?

>3 underpriced switches
>no docks
>no cables

stealing Switches is probably his smallest felony

as much as i love my switch, i cannot believe the fucking thing has no security. you have to opt in for a password login to prevent people from buying things with your credit card. it bonkers my mind

that's pretty circumstantial bruh

Who says they don't come with docks or cables? Just because they aren't in the photo doesn't mean that, it doesn't say "console only" or anything.

Call Spider Man. Actually, I have no idea if he's still a vigilante. What happened after One More Day?

If they're asking $250 used then it comes with the dock and cable. Nothing says it doesn't come with them, and that's obviously a "I bought this and really don't want it but can't return it" price.

Usually the best way you can tell they're stolen is if they're selling for cheaper than retail.
Scalpers wouldn't make any profit if they sold it at a lower price, the method of scalping is to wait until supplies run dry and sell it for a higher price

Why would anyone buy a second hand console?

Doctors office and in between classes have been my public uses.

Never do business with obsidian folk

Yeah on craigslist when I look at my state there are a ton of obviously stolen games and laptops and stuff

A lot of the shit will have "REDBOX" on the CD and laptops/phones without chargers.

>no Bus
busses are the most acceptable

Report to cops

>plane takes a turn
>switch flies out the window
yeah nah

>report to cops
>zero proof
>gets away with it
We told you switchies will be prime targets for mugging. Switch owners are verified soy consumers who are at the bottom of the food chain.

v is mostly pol, so how about you

>no dock
>all games digital
>need gone asap

fuck, these people really have no shame

>chicago
Yeah no shit

Liar, everyone know black people prefer Playstation.

more like gaystation

>all digital games
If you bought one then wouldn't the original owner still be logged in? If so couldn't you contact Nintendo get their address? Then coordinate with them and the police.

Doesn't stop them from stealing

what's with all the motherfuckers selling the switch at full retail price? Why would I buy it from you used for store value when I could just go to target and get a brand new one with a warranty and option to return?

that's why he's selling them

Where I live, they'll just pretend to take a police report and give you some lip service if you run to them and claim that some dindu stole your $300 kids toy.

for fucks sake, that's not even grand theft

How have you survived on Sup Forums for this long? Unless you’re just now joining us in which case leave and never come back.

That's not how the real world works

Triggered much faggot?

but tracking devices is against muh freedoms

I was thinking of selling my Switch because i'm done with BotW and Odyssey and now i'm having some regrets since nothing else good is coming for a long time.
How much should I sell the whole package for? I was thinking $350.

If it's still in new condition then $350 is OK.
If not or if you threw away the box or something then $300-$320

Why not? Nintendo has their credit card info. Credit card companies have their home address and phone number. Why not have the police contact either one and return stolen property while incarcerating thieves? Because Police have better things to do than worry about theft? It's that part of their job?

The condition is great, I haven't touched it in a while.
Though I don't have the box anymore.

>buses full of niggers
No thanks amigo

I can get one brand new for less than that

>I don't have the box anymore
so you stole it?

I don't get it. Are you desperately in need of money right now? If not I don't understand why you wouldn't just hold on to the system until games come out. There's a handful of really good stuff that has been announced so it's not like we're in the dark about what's coming. At least wait until the January direct.

Sure but does it come with TWO games

You're precious, welcome to bureaucracy where it's no ones problem but your own that you got your games stolen.

If a house was broken into and grand theft happened then sure, but no nintendo or the credit card companies won't do anything, police can't do anything without a warrant and there's no proof that the person who's selling stole it, just that if the seriel number was reported second hand stores would be notified.

You live in a fantasy land where you think police care about reuniting some random guy with a $300 toy, wasting thousands of dollars in resources to track down the owner.
That time could better be spent shooting menaces to society.

No I just threw it out.
I'm a white boi so I can't steal anything

>I'm a white boi so I can't steal anything

Whites are just as capable to steal as blacks.

>You live in a fantasy land where you think police care about reuniting some random guy with a $300 toy, wasting thousands of dollars in resources to track down the owner.
It's called the suburbs.

it's a joke you mong

Cops seriously don't give a shit about missing objects unless someone happens to bring it in.

>police is not here to enforce the law
Why have those laws in the first place then, desu. Quite meaningless if you ask me.

>Stolen
>$250
Fuck you if you stole it sell for $150 so I can buy it

A lazy one too.

How's high school treating you?

Well normally you'd be dissuaded from stealing because the shop owner/resident would shoot you full of holes.

Felony theft charges start at $500. A Switch and game (missing the $30 charger and $80 dock assuming it was stolen from someone's bag) doesn't even hit that amount.

Even if caught red handed, the city/state will not jail them more than a day due to overcrowding.

The best security is to not let people know you have something. Even letting people know you have a gun just means they bring their own and steal yours.

If the Switch has digital games on it those count. I have OG 3DS that are worth over $500 for that reason.

>he thinks digital games can be stolen
You don't own them, dummy.

In Boston they'll do something if they actually catch the guy. That's a big if, though. When I was in highschool a guy stole my DS on the train, he only got caught because I chased him. Ended uo being another kid, he got house arrest and a restraining order was put out.

He owns the licences to play them retard

And none of them have cash value.

If they have no value then why does the government tax me for it?

They're fucking stolen dude, I promise you.

t. GameStop employee who's about to buy a brand-new, 100% stolen Switch that was traded into us as soon as it's off our one week trade hold.

The only real benefit of working at this shithole is getting 15% off of pre-owned systems. Both my PS4 and my future Switch were traded in by some Jamal practically brand new, I just got them like $70 off.

I'm more afraid of white people on the bus than black people

>took a basic philosophy course in freshman year

>Only $70 off
So the PS4 was $160? Would've been $185 otherwise?
In my country they retail for $350 yet used are always around $200

>buying used
top kek

hate it when that happens

We sold pre-owned PS4s for like $279.99 at the time. I meant more like $40 off, not $70. Which is fine for me as far as a 100% new system goes.

The sketchy tweakers and homeless people make it hard to take out your phone, let alone a game system.

>Buy a practically new item but with the seal broken for 20% off retail
Don't see the problem

here, used products are almost 100% of the time fucked up. You'd have to be really lucky to get a used game that's not scraped or covered in sticker residue from the Redbox is was stolen from, or a system that some junkie fuck traded in that's not filled with hash and dirt from the flop house they live in.

Well literally nothing I buy used was fucked up. And I buy used a lot. If they are fucked up then the price drops accordingly and I buy those sometimes because it's acceptable.
I bought an old as shit hacked PS3 with rusty internals and almost broken BD drive cable. I play for 6 hours at a time and it never had any problem.
When I was buying used games they all looked fairly new. No residue or blemish. Though I guess it's because people take care of them more.

>Pull out pokemon cards at school
>They go missing by the end of the day
>A better friend told me it was actually another friend of mine
>Got most of em back, fucker kept really rare ones. Principle told me i was lucky to get them back.
>Still friends
>10 years later his GF cheats on him with me twice

I guess it all worked out in the end.

I was looking at one on Craigslist earlier today. He wanted $200 for it still in the box, so I offered.

Take some precautions, and accept the risk. Or don't.

I ran into a black guy today, he tried to steal my switch

Yeah I stole a PS4pro from target. They never pressed charges because the amount was too low and they didn't have good evidence

>Reporting stolen goods instead of grabbing one for yourself

$250 is too much for stolen merch tough, this dude is nuts.

Yeah, in HER end. Boom.
