or this

Does anyone know why they are so cheap? 100Y is around 15$, so the 400Y one costs 60$

Fist link has B9S in the picture, so your getting softmodded CFW 3DS with a few games. The second one has a bunch of games listed you get on it, making it likely to be softmodded as well.

Why so cheap, likely reconditioned units they bought in bulk. Your likely looking at someone's modded stock that they were planning to sell in Japan, but due to the new laws on modding they likely have to dump everything they got to anyone willing to buy. Or you can make your own guess at why it is so cheap.
