Donut | 2 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I'm looking for a DS, preferably in an XL size.I was checking out the dsi but it doesn't seem to be that much less expensive so now I'm leaning towards a new2dsxl. I don't want anything too scratched up and shitty.This seems to be a fair bit cheaper than other options but I'm questioning if it's authentic. Why is it less money with 769 watchers but no one bought it?https://www.ebay.com/itm/313257571131I'm not in a huge rush. Want a nice one to play a copy of Chrono Trigger.If anyone has an extra one that they want to sell, hit me up.

They dropped the price to 99.99 and it eventually sold out. That asking price isn’t bad but it’s a tad high. You might be able to find it a bit cheaper. if you don’t need one brand new, you can get a 2DS XL for like $120, maybe even less than that. Happy hunting! 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/6926-want-to-buy-a-ds/#findComment-169944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut | 2 Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 I'm ok with used, but I don't want any scratches on the screen and would prefer that the system is not really dirty or beat up, so only like new to very good condition. Thanks for the reply. $120 is more around what I'm comfortable spending. I remember getting a used dsi xl from gamestop several years ago in really good condition for $100. Standard DS is ok, but would be nice if it could also play 3ds games.

Donut | 2 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Is this a fake knockoff? It's so much cheaper than everything else.Why are 931 people watching this but no one has bought it.The seller only has a feedback of 4.https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Nintendo-2DS-XL-Black-Turquoise-w-Mario-Kart-7-Installed-FREE-SHIPPING-/313257571131?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/6926-want-to-buy-a-ds/#findComment-172889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptOut | 9,210 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Looks kosher to me! If you buy it and something goes wrong, Ebay will have your back. If you want it, buy it, there's little risk. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/6926-want-to-buy-a-ds/#findComment-172890 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut | 2 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Thanks. Just weird that so many people are watching it but no one has pulled the trigger. There are multiple auctions going for used models that are currently bid higher than the buy it now price of this and it's been up for a few weeks 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/6926-want-to-buy-a-ds/#findComment-172891 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was like $10 cheaper it would have probably sold already. But I think it's a fair price.

Just keep cool and if you see something you want and you're happy with the price, buy it. If not, just wait a little bit and the overheating in the market will subside, at least a little over the next year or so. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/6926-want-to-buy-a-ds/#findComment-172894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut | 2 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Ya, here's another one even cheaper from another guy with low feedback. I'm wondering if fake knockoff systems are a thing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Nintendo-2DS-XL-Black-Turquoise-Mario-Kart-7-Brand-New-/124252997748?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 How are these systems bid up so high? They're all at or over $200 with days left to the auction end. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-2DS-XL-Mario-Kart-7-Console-Bundle-Orange-White-/254888083694?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 https://www.ebay.com/itm/NIB-Nintendo-2DS-XL-Black-Turquoise-Handheld-System-with-Mario-Kart-7-Bundle-/313444921308?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-2DS-XL-Handheld-System-Black-Turquoise-Never-Used-/303912270191?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/6926-want-to-buy-a-ds/#findComment-172896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut | 2 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Thanks for the replies. Just paranoid about fake stuff.. I know that bootleg Nintendo has been a common thing in the past.

OptOut | 9,210 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I've never seen a bootleg of a boxed system like this before. Bootleg 3DS systems are not a thing, at least not actual full reproductions. I'd buy it dude, you've literally got nothing to lose, they both look legit to me! If anything goes wrong, Ebay will give you your money back, guaranteed. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/6926-want-to-buy-a-ds/#findComment-172898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut | 2 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 Interesting. I tried to purchase the brand new $145 and $180 options and on both of them it said that the sellers can't accept payment right now so that's why they're still unsold. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/6926-want-to-buy-a-ds/#findComment-172899 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there's your answer, Fishbulb! Glad to be of help, although sucks you can't get your stuff... 1 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/6926-want-to-buy-a-ds/#findComment-172901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
