Where to buy official dock for the Switch?

    I'd like to purchase a second dock for the Switch to play on another TV, but I can't find any official ones, not even in the Nintendo store. There are used ones on Amazon and CEX but they seem way overpriced.
    Where can I buy the official dock from in Ireland without losing an arm and a leg?

    They've been hard to find for a long time. I see CEX is charging €75. I think brand new that pack was €90 so it is a marginal saving but still very pricey.
    There has been issues with cheaper third party docks bricking consoles so I'd be reluctant to go that route. CEX might be your best bet sadly.

    I bought a second one last year for €80 from CEX so there is a saving this year!!

    However having a second dock on a second TV is the only way to go if a Switch is in high demand in a house and there is also PS4 permanently wedded to another TV!!

    After a quick look online I see you can get a dock for roughly €38 (dock only, includes delivery) on ebay and you can get the charger brand new in Smyths for €30.
    Assuming you might have a HDMI cable laying about the house somewhere you'd be all set to go for €68. That's the best I can see. Been looking online myself for a good while and that's the cheapest I've ever seen the official dock. Albeit partly second-hand.
