Bought the neon console and a special edition of BOTW. Debating keeping them or flipping for a small profit. I gotta say, that box for the special edition of BOTW almost makes me wanna keep it all by itself.

The Walmart I frequent most is very small, but they were still packed. Had around 9 consoles to give out plus some preorders, the consoles were all gone by 10pm. Was a much larger launch than I saw at this store for PS4 and Xbone combined.

I was #4 in line, every single person in the first four picked up the special edition of BOTW, much to the chagrin of the rest of the line as they only had four special editions. Only three copies of 1,2 Switch, which was bizarre.

no offense, but you're not going to profit THAT much off either one of those. If you had a Master Edition Zelda set then maybe... but even you ended up selling the neon Switch for $400 instead of $300, and the SE Zelda for like $150, that's a total $150 difference and then after fees you make like, what, $100? just seems kind of useless if you have any interest in the playing the systems. a marginal profit compared to the base cost of things

I agree though, the Special Edition Zelda box is gorgeous, it looks a lot better than the Master Edition imo surprisingly. Master Edition is more glossy looking, and the SE box has a nice matte (?) finish with the golden Zelda logo really popping and of course the same art from the regular game

I'll say I've been setting up the Switch in handheld mode and you might regret not giving it a shot if you do immediately get rid of it, it feels superb : o

Well I did say a small profit. I've decided to flip them, I have a buyer for the Switch for $450 today, and I'll probably list the Zelda for $125 or so. I used a siblings discount on the purchase, so I paid $388. Selling it for $575 = small profit. I only sell on Craigslist or GAF, don't mess with anywhere that I can get fees or ripped off.
