I'm auctioning off out/away (? Non native speaker ๐Ÿ˜…) my old-ish gaming consoles and this person is asking about a unit's serial number. Why? I mean, I put up more than ten images of the console from various angles and such... What's the significance?

For the Switch I used a little plastic thing I slide into the controller part on the side, copied some files and that was it. No physical changes needed but if I power the device off fully I have to remod it again.

    That's a V1, and has a low serial number.

    There are "patched" V1s that the plastic things don't work on, V2, OLED, and Lite. All of these need a chip to mod. You could hard mod yours too, if you wanted.

    V1 and V2 are super easy to hard mod. The lite has a few more points to do than V1/V2, and the OLED is quit difficult but still possible.

    I've hard modded quite a few V1/V2 and a handfull of the Lites.
