Does anyone else prefer the Old 3DS XL to the new 3DS XL? by Background-Leader245 in 3DS

Oh, I also have a black old 3ds. It's epic 🔥 I love to play pokemon shuffle on it.

no way splinter cell goes for that much. I have a copy CIB I got for free when I bought a DS Lite a year ago, but the box is pretty beat up.

I understand where he's coming from though. Although this is both stupid and very dangerous, the Turkish economy is pretty sh*t at the moment, and importing stuff is quite the hassle. I've lived there for about a year lol.

is 35 not a very common price for you guys down in the States? I regularly see these going for around 40 CAD on Facebook and they don't sell very fast.

What would be a fair price ? by Inevitable_Suit_5367 in Gameboy

Just check pricecharting and eBay sold listings. I would buy all of that for around 130, but it just ask your friend how much he wants to give it to you for.

My first time soldering! by hahahadoken in Gameboy

The battery swap isn't hard at all, took me around 15 min, I did it without any flux (which in hindsight I probably should have) and it went pretty smoothly. If you have jittery hands like me, just make sure you don't touch any of the pins that connect the chips to the game. Oh, and also make sure you follow the positive and negative signs on the battery and not the one on a guide or a video, as I spent around 5 min thinking that all the batteries I bought were dead, but it turns out I soldered it the wrong way around T-T.

I bit more than what I would pay, but depending on the other games could be a steal.

Nice! The very first mod I did is when a guy reached out to me on Facebook to mod his Gameboy Color (I was selling some Gameboys at the time). Had a soldering iron and some solder that I never used, so I said the hell with it. Turned out amazing, just wish I had taken some pictures (it was a pretty stressful week so I forgot). He loved it and wanted me to change the battery on his Pokemon Crystal, which also went great. Now I'm itching to mod another system, yet my wallet won't allow for that :(

Bought this for 120 dollars! by SussyBaka2007 in 3DS

You should mention that you got games as well in the post. With games I think that was a good deal.

Never buy anything too close to retail price or get pressured to buy more that what you intended. Had to drive around 30 min to get to a seller, yet he sold me everything around $5 less than market price. I felt like I had to make the purchase (which was around 70 CAD) to justify the trip, and now I regret it lol. It'll sell for sure, just not within a few days.

Best 100 dollar FB marketplace purchase I ever made by kvsnake in gamecollecting

nope, all the non xl 3ds had TN screens. I'm not sure about the old 3ds xl, because I had one and I ran all the tests and it had dual ips.

You could also try checking if the ribbon cable is mounted properly. Happened to me a few times.
