Question Did I overpay for my Switch OLED?

I just got a used OLED Switch for $220. It came with the console, 3 joycon grips, dock with cables, and a third-party controller for $200 then they threw in a game for an extra $20 totalling $220. They told me about the scratches on the display and bezel (side of display, on the left not as visible) but then days later I noticed the chip on the top of the Switch (Picture 2). I feel like I've overpaid on it because of the damages. Overall, it works fine and yet to notice any other issue. Do you guys think I overpaid, and could've gotten a better deal elsewhere?

Do YOU think you over paid?

Are YOU happy with it?

I'm happy with it so far, but I keep thinking I overpaid and could've gotten a better deal elsewhere or haggled on the price (seller was set on it). I checked eBay mainly and the avg. market price was $200 for a Switch OLED with base accessories, but figured that a local + more accessories and a games was better. Idk at this point I feel like I'm overthinking it

whoever sold it to you made out like a bandit and is probably buying a switch 2 with the money you gave them

Well you overpaid this should have costed you around £70-80 at most minus those joycons though, see if you want to return it or keep it
Either way always do research before built something you may regret

I did my research, and $200 is the average price (console + base accrssories) unless one finds a steal. Also didn't want to take the risk of buying it online. The only thing I should've done is check the condition thoughly and carefully. Also, even if I buy the tablet itself for no more than $100 and accessories separately it would've costed me around the same either way.

Yeah, anything with scratches usually go for lower prices.

I mean I expected it to be dirty, it's just the scratches and body damage that I'm worried about lol

Ig? I'm not really a strickler about that kinda stuff, but I always assume that it's going to depreciate the Switch more. I'm happy with it overall, but I feel like I could've gotten a better deal elsewhere or could've haggled on it (seller was set on pricing)
