"Reasonably priced"

Does not mean anything

He means not 539$ for no reason

They aren't 529

Something that would be the normal listed price or lower, not $500 dollars being sold by a bot.

They aren't 529

And yes they can be

I'm aware of then I text. I just don't care for used 3ds, no matter the model. Too many things can be wrong with them that aren't immediately apparent. Hinges crack, 3d slider could be failing/setup wrong, internal ribbons for the home button and/or amiibo reader could be broken (common if ever been opened), the console could be banned, NDS mode could be fucked up and not working due to a crappy downgrade, etc. I like to buy mine new to avoid all that crap, but I don't get why 3DSes are being scalped so hard right now.

I guess because the eshop is coming down so it’s in the news and everyone wants to grab whatever they can before it closes? Dunno. I paid $160 for mine on Amazon at end of December. Same seller is now selling for $365. $205 increase?!?! WTF…doesn’t make sense.

you can get them a little cheaper if you buy a Japanese N3DSLL. For whatever reason they seem to be better cared for. You can Google Japanese emunand region change or click my sig for a link to the Japanese 3ds link in my blog for how to convert them to US/English.

Not something where everything is expensive and the few cheap ones are scam websites.

They are a little cheaper, but the shipping is expensive and they are still overpriced (over 250 dollars)

I’d ask around irl to see if anyone wants to sell theirs.
