Yesterday I tried to sell my ambassador 3DS with preinstalled titles on a no name local game store. It was the first time my offer was rejected and I really need to tell you the reason. Basically the store owner rejected my 3DS for "legal reasons". I told him that my 3DS was registered to the ambassador programme and has already 11 games preinstalled. He said he can't buy something with downloaded games because there is a chance that I pirated them.
This was basically my conversation with him:
Me: Hi there.
Store owner: Hi.
Me: I have here a 3DS to offer.
Store owner: Cool, I shall have a look at it then.
Me: It comes preinstalled with 11 games because it is registered to Nintendos ambassador programme. And you can download additional 10 exclusive GBA games for free in december.
Store owner: Downloaded games? Sorry, I can't buy that then.
Me: Huh? What's the matter?
Store owner: I can't buy it for legal reasons. You could have pirated them.
Me: What are you talking about? You can't pirate 3DS stuff.
Store owner: Yes you can. I know those carts where you put a micro sd card in them and play pirated games. All kids have them today.
Me: But..no. These carts are for NDS games only. You can't pirate 3DS games, heck you can't even pirate DSiWare.
Store owner: You can't fool me. Nowadays you can pirate everything and the 3DS is no exception.
Me: Please do some research before blatantly claiming this.
Store owner: I did. Those devices are all over the internet. And some of them have a 3DS mark on them, which proves I'm right.
Me: No, those are still for DS games only. The 3DS is not hacked.
Store owner: Please quit convincing me. There are other customers waiting.
Me: Whatever.. (asshole)
Stupid store owner is stupid I guess.. I will never buy or sell anything again there.
Luckily I was able to sell my 3DS somewhere else for 200 bucks
