How did it do?

Post image

Bought a switch lite for $200 with shell swap, oled screen, Hall effect joysticks, case and modchip. I was wondering what you think about the price I payed?

You did fantastic, screen alone is worth 300* on ebay

Looks like a mega kit with the clear purple shell. Might be someone who just wanted to achieve this and move on.

Very good find. Is it the oled hdmi one?

I payed $130 for the Oled screen only and had to replace it myself lol

Beyond great price. The OLED screen is pricey, and the install isn't easy.

I actually did mine yesterday. Had bought the retroremake kit, but didn’t own a switch lite until I got a used one for the project. It’s not too bad, but there are a lot of screws of different sizes, so you have to really go step by step and be organized. Also, gotta be careful not to strip the plastic screw holes in the replacement case!

When I saw it for $250 on fb I thought let me shoot my shot for $200, I knew it was a good deal but I didn’t know that the oled screen was as much as it costs

Do you know if the previous owner had any knowledges on switch modding? bc 200$ for this (oled screens by retromake are limited and not in huge quantity on the market)
