Topic: resale value of a new Switch tablet only?

So I know I'm probably going to want another pair of joy-cons. But maybe I also want either a second TV dock or even a second Switch tablet just for local wi-fi multiplayer. That leads to a possibility where I might want to either buy or sell a Switch tablet by itself. (The sell scenario would be get a second switch for the joy-cons and dock, and sell the tablet) What price would people (either buying or selling) expect to see for the Switch tablet by itself?

Price of joy-con pair: $80
Price of dock for TV: $90
Price of Switch tablet standalone: ???

Based on the price of the full Switch system, the obvious answer is $130. But that seems low, knowing that a full system bundle usually represents a discount over the individual pieces.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but usually bundled things are cheaper (like the Joy-Con controllers). I'd imagine the tablet alone is probably closer to $150 or more, but more than $200.

the 'tablet' is worth nothing without controllers at the moment... so i doubt it would be worth anything to just anyone, though someone who already has multiple controllers might take it off your hand to give themselves extra systems.

I'm hoping that Nintendo will soon be selling systems with only joy cons and the tablet, as this would bring the price down a bit and also be good for extra systems in the same house where a second dock isn't needed.
