Wondering is it a good or bad idea to buy used joy cons?

 

[Abigail Skelcher]

Depends is it from a shop or private seller ? I'd say no to a private seller as u have no guarantee. Also where there are still ones with problems that might be why they are selling them.

 

[Abigail Skelcher]

But even used from a shop you still have a guarantee

 

[Jermaine Jordan]

I'd only ever buy used controllers from GameStop.

 

[Kevin Munson]

Either way you have no warranty from Nintendo... FYI I run a game store so please don't tell me Nintendo will warranty a used item, they won't

I bought a used left neon blue joy-con from GameStop. Looks and works perfectly fine. If something happens to it, I'll substitute monthly game purchase for another one. Self insurance, bay-bee.

Depends on price id say

 

[Edgar De Santiago]

If it's new then yes if it's not then no I notice they are really ummmm idk not cheap but they will wear out quick ish idk in a few months like 2 tops 3

I bought a second set used at gamestop they were basically brand new... they weren't as marked down as I would have thought they would be sold separately 40 each witch is the same as buying a set of brand new ones (which I couldnt find) and I save 10% so it wasn't the worst deal...

As long as it works fine, I'm sure you're good to go. Do a test before you buy it (if possible).

 

[Joseph D DeMatteis]

BAD

 

[Heather Ekrom]

bad buy em new

 

[Austin Kanka]

Buy my "used" ones on eBay. I ended up with 2 sets on accident

 

[James Lara]

They can't be that old. Hehe

 

[Ryan Millar]

If the price is right I would gamble on it...

 

[Maat Khan]

Bad. People pick their noses

 

[Jacob Stafford]

I bought a preowned neon red joy con set and they work fine.

You just have to look at the condition for yourself if you are buying from a store or a private seller I used to buy a lot of controllers and flip them and most of them were in great condition what more maybe 10-15% I had to pass on I'd say go for it
