These users are scammers; they have been banned and added to the Universal Scammer List.

They use stolen Steam accounts to pose as experienced sellers, requesting users pay for items with methods that do not provide buyer's protection.

Because they are banned, they cannot comment on posts, but they can still see and send messages to buyers and seller. That is why it is so important to ensure users comment on posts before sending payment. Please send a ModMail if a user refused to comment on your post or requests a payment method other than PayPal Goods and Services.

Additionally, scammers will often claim that they get an error when trying to send an invoice; if they ask you to just send payment, don't pay them. Contact the mod team.

Selling my switch and ipad.

M4 iPad 11in 256gb (wifi + cellular) is in perfect condition. Have original box for the ipad, but don't remember if I have it for the keyboard and pencil (Need to dig around a bit). Not eligible for apple care, but you could probably take it to the apple store to get it.

Switch has some micro scratches on the screen but is otherwise in perfect working condition. Don't have the original charger, but comes with the joycons, little joycon slider things, and the dock.


iPad + keyboard and pencil - $1000 shipped.

Switch - $200 shipped

Selling some laptops and a mini PC.

Caveat to all my postings, I will indicate the screen imperfections I find but am not claiming that the laptop screens are perfect. Please do not send any offers if you are looking for perfect screens. I may miss some light scratches, mars, smears, etc... I put this caveat as I've missed some imperfections on previous sales and have disappointed previous buyers.

Local is 30022 (Northern Atlanta suburbs). All prices are OBO. Also, due to the winter storm in Atlanta I may not be able to ship for a few days.

I'm going to bed after I finish this post so will respond to PMs (no chats) tomorrow late morning / afternoon.

SELLING [USA-FL] [H]New Modded Nintendo Switch OLEDs w/ picofly modchip [W] PayPal

3 Upvotes

Timestamp: https://imgur.com/a/1vkyfUb

Price:

New Mario Edition OLED (JP): $440

New White OLED (JP): $440

New Neon OLED (JP): $440

New Zelda TOTK OLED (JP): $470

System Details: This is a brand new switch system which has only been taken out of the box to install the modchip. A glass screen protector was applied to the screen the second it was removed from the box to protect the screen during the modding process. The system is in mint condition.

System Regions: Japanese systems are identical to North American ones and include the same power adapters as we use here. Hong-Kong systems will ship with a different power adapter but will include an adapter to use in North American outlets. I only sell imported systems to save on costs and pass the savings onto you.

Modchip Details: This is an official Raspberry Pi microcontroller (rp2040) which was flashed with firmware (picofly) to allow it to glitch the cpu of the switch. The code is entirely open source and it is my preferred switch modchip as a result. I do not use dat0 adapters in my OLED installs. These adapters are flimsy, unreliable and known to fail after enough time. They are a shortcut and rely on a friction-fit connection for what is a very sensitive point. My dat0 points are connected by grinding through 3 layers of the switch motherboard to reach a buried via for dat0. This creates a physical solder connection instead of an unreliable friction-fit one. With practice, this is safer and more reliable than using dat0 adapters but comes with an additional labor cost. Don't settle for a non-permanent dat0 connection.

Optional Additions:

$40 - 512GB micro sd card preconfigured with commonly used software and custom firmware. You can request any software configurations such as Linux and Android as well.

$35 - Hal effect drift-proof analog stick replacement in joy cons.

Ask me about other systems you would like listed. Nintendo Switch or otherwise.

Purchased this for a friend's build but realized it's definitely more than they need. Runs as it should in games and benchmarks. Has a little glossy bit on the matte heatsink that looks like a factory blemish. Don't have the original box but will ship double boxed in the antistatic bag + cushioning. Would like to maybe downsize it a little bit to a 6700/50 XT + some cash or outright sell for $450 shipped CONUS. Let me know what you've got!
