How can I make sure I don't get scammed on a Switch 2 deal?

Like what do I look out for? I don't do anything shipping, only local pickup. I saw somewhere someone said to check the serial number with Nintendo but I've tried Nintendo support live chat and both times they wouldn't tell me if the serial was reported stolen or banned. I've heard I can check for ban by going to eShop on the system before buying, but that would only help if it's banned due to piracy or hacking.

They're already too expensive in store and prices are going up further. CA tax is like an additional $40-50 on the price so trying to snag one locally. I've seen a couple going for around $400.

Just got this controller and love it but I didn't realize it doesn't have a battery. Want to use it as a phone controller mainly and love the convenience of USB-C, but also was hoping to use it as an extra controller for other devices via Bluetooth as a spare controller for multiple players. Are there any other mobile controllers that have both usb-c and Bluetooth while also having a battery?

Amplifier on my 2015 Hyundai Elantra Limited died on my wife while she was driving last year during CA hot summer weather. I assume this happened on a triple digit day, but she says the sound just stopped after she went over railroad tracks (that she goes over almost every day). I'm rather handy with a soldering iron and did not want to pay for a replacement amp (OEM is EXPENSIVE), so I noticed on the back of the board that one of the traces were fried. As a test, I temporarily soldered a wire to bridge the trace (in pics) and voila! sound started coming out from the amplifier once again. I found a youtube video where a technician was working on a similar looking amplifier, and he pointed out how the capacitor "seal" shrank exposing the top edges, indicating that the capacitors had overheated, and they looked exactly like the 3 big capacitors in the pictures, so I was planning on repairing the burned up trace properly, and also replacing the capacitors, but I can't really find a suitable replacement, which is why Im here. They seem to be ELNA brand capacitors - 2700 uF, 35V, 16.30mm around and 21.30mm height. I tried looking up the other info shown in the pics on the capacitors but I could not easily find an exact replacement.

My question is - Do the capacitors in question look like they need to be replaced? I assume if they overheated, I should replace them with ones that don't. However, the audio sounds fine after I bridged the burnt trace on the back. If replacements are suggested, does it have to be he same exact size and brand? Can I find any brand as long as its a radial 2700 uF/35V? I was thinking of going with the Nichion or Panasonic since they are good brands. I saw a Nichion that has a higher rated maximum temp of 135C (the elna maxed at 105C) while matching the 2700 uF/35v, but it looks slightly smaller in size. I would appreciate some advice from anyone with proper knowledge on capacitors.

Also, please let me know if you see any other possible issues on the board, as im not too familiar with amplifiers. I noticed some burnt debri near the bad trace, which I will clean up when I do the repair, I was just checking to see if I should replace the capacitors or not as well while im doing it. Thank you.
