Oh people will try to resell digital though, it's the goofiest thing having them try to sell their account info to you.

People sell their accounts because they’re finished with a game??? Maybe I really am old because that’s insane. I wonder how much my account would be worth, I’ve bought plenty of games and had it since 2008.

Well finished with the console, and sell the console to you with the login info to keep the digitals. It's sketchy and I've personally never made any transaction with someone like that.

Lots of times those are scams. Its accounts that purchased the game through fraudulent means (stolen credit cards) and the profile will get banned.

The particular circumstance I was thinking of was a person I saw selling a Switch, and had significantly increased the price because they were selling the account with the digital games too. Could still be a scam 🤷‍♂️
