Systems must be in working condition. Home consoles need their working cords and an authentic matching first-party controller; Wii U also needs its original working GamePad. Handhelds need the applicable charger and battery cover. Switch Lite needs its charger, but no separate controller or battery cover. Final eligibility and value are confirmed after inspection.
