I have bought an excellent condition N3DS for $230 CAD. came with box, manual, charger and everything. Expensive? Maybe. But to me, it's worth every penny. The hundreds of hours of entertainment I am going to squeeze out of it are going to be pennies on the hour, for a good time.

I have also bought an O3DS for $50 CAD, which had sticking shoulder buttons, a scratched to hell bottom screen, broken (physically cracked) cameras, and a worn-through button pad. It was not very enjoyable, but great for learning how to mod the things. Now it sits there for parts.

Usually, you get what you pay for. Had I known about the excellent condition of the first device, I would have bought two or three to be honest. I have people in my life who are also after one in good condition.

Consider getting a Japanese version, they usually cost less and they have more color options over there.

Never more than MSRP.

Bought it at launch :')
Nowadays I basically get them for free sometimes so I wouldn't spend any.

I'm mad at myself for not clearing out their inventory when Walmart was selling 2DS consoles brand new for $79.

$0

Yeah but keep in mind the menus are in japanese, however once modded you can simply do a ctrtransfer and have it in english or other languages, however you lose access to the eshop, which is closed anyway. But, that means you can't use pokemon bank, tried recently on a console I did a ctrtransfer and it won't work. If that doesn't bother you then go ahead. I got mine in a used games shop, got it for 49€ because it was an american one and they couldn't sell it normally. On that store and others I usually see them ranging from 110€ to even 150€

How for free :o ?

The way things are going, I'm thinking one ought to be able to find one that doesn't turn on due to a botched CFW install even when it can be trivially fixed.

When I bought my New 3DS (Japanese), I spent like $85-90 shipped. I don't think I'd spend more than that.

I remember spending about 90 GBP for a Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate new 3DS at CeX in 2016.

That depends on a lot of things. Limited edition, top/bottom IPS? Both go for a large premium. Especially sought after ones like the Zelda Majoras Mask edition n3DS XL with top IPS.
You can generally go by eBay sold listings and subtract 10% for eBay seller fees to get a good idea of what a fair price is.
