I wasn't expecting to find one for a price I'd agree with so soon, but I just bought it for a little less than 2/3 of MSRP:

Second hand of course, but never used.

I thought you meant that I've already shared it. That's cool but not 60Hz cool.

Can't speak for anywhere else but the Pikachu N64 was for sure sold in the US. I remember it being on the shelves at ToysRUs. Wish I'd bought one then.

Thank you! I've been saving a Switch 2 search on Vinted for months. Has been either little discount over retail for not being worth it or straight up scammers. Someone posted this at 6 am on a highly rated account. Sometimes insomnia pays off!

Next step: getting a Switch 2! exclusive for a price I agree

Looking up on YouTube on how to trim my hair, it look very easy so I bought this set for 20$

I was totally wrong. I assumed it was JP only but they got an exclusive orange variant along with the blue that was released everywhere haha
Wish I got the orange instead but it was a good deal regardless

Start with practising on your dog/ cat or any family/ friends pet. Or grab a Racoon from the wild, and have at it. Practise makes perfect

I got a similar trimmer a while ago to replace an old one and on the first go I forgot that, unlike the old one, the "zero" setting on the new one has the trimmer blades poking out through the spacer comb and is actually zero... and I shaved my mustache off. Not my brightest moment.

I got some news today I guess, if you can call it that. Last summer in Tokyo my daughter found me a LNIB N3DSLL Happy Home Designer Limited Edition. She wasn't looking for that model specifically, it's just what she ran into. With the currency exchange it cost me about $320. You can see a photo from just before she bought it at the bottom of p.1048 of this thread, or you can see it unboxed in this thread:

Thread 'Is a console ever "too nice" to mod?'

Oct 5, 2025

Thought about putting this in the retro console group, but few would see it.
Thought about putting this in the 3DS forum, but it isn't specifically about the 3DS. Could be any old console.

A couple months ago, my wife and daughter came home from an extended stay in Japan, and one of the items they brought home for me was a Happy Home Designer edition New 3DSLL. (you may have seen it if you follow the 'Things I bought or got" thread.) And it is basically perfect. The retailer provided a certificate of condition, and it got no negative marks. That's as to the condition of the console...

I definitely felt the sting paying that, but today I looked into values for the original 3DS launch model for a thread in the 3DS section, and found a website called pricecharting.com. It scrapes actual ebay sales, i.e. it doesn't count auctions where the item never sold. I'm sure the numbers are ballpark averages, and valuations of collectibles doesn't mean there's always a buyer, but still someone paid the prices they report. Out of curiosity, I decided to see how my Happy Home Designer was faring. It's insane. And my Happy Home Designer N3DSLL isn't "New," but it's a lot better than merely 'CIB.'

Need to thank my daughter, again.
