Recently found an original 3DS cosmos black still in the box. Also a copy of FE: Awakening. It was buried in the back of my wardrobe.
I haven't touched it in about a year. Took it out and looked at it. Pretty much mint condition. No scuffs or scratches and has screen protectors applied. Has the VR stuff still in the bag untouched as well as the instructions.
Is it worth anything? I've chucked it on gumtree for about $120 all together with the game but no one is biting. Am I asking for too much? Every site I see still lists them at $200 minimum.

No. Fuck. No. It's not worth anything. It's a machine that's readily available on the market as it is, and no one's going to take a 120 dollar gamble for a 3DS that you claim is "pretty much mint".
Since this thread sucks: I haven't updated my 3DS for a while now but what's the point? Hacking the system seems pointless.
I've sold one for ten thousand dollars. All of my friends have as well. They are collectors items after all.
>>331635616
Sorry, less than mint. As mint as one can be without being in the box.
>>331635625
Er, it's not really a gamble. People are free to stop by and look at it lol. Test it out. I don't care. That's part of gumtree.
>>331631969
See what system type it is; if its 9.2 or lower you can install CFW.
>>331635673
Depends on what you want to do with it. Being able to mod your games and region free is nice even if you buy legally
>>331635742
And if it's higher you can downgrade to 9.2
>>331635625
so why is it sold for so much brand new these days? youd think they'd be like 60 dollars at stores
>>331635673
No region lock, emulation, muh piracy
>>331636239
Because brand new is brand new, it's not pretty much like new.
>>331638741
Identically they're the same though. I just don't understand people.
Is this worth anything used?
>>331636239
Because they've been discontinued. And sealed is going to get rarer.
>>331631969
Just toss it in the trash, honestly. Even when hacked, the 3DS has nothing worth playing, and I say that as someone that gets most of its library.
Shit console for no taste nostalgia fags, ports, and titles that have the depth an inflated kiddie pool. Probably the only console I can say you don't miss shit by never owning.
>>331638948
They're not the same. One is in the box and sealed, one has been removed from the box. This is a discontinued item, what don't you understand?
>>331639273
So what if I put it back in the box and pretend it hasn't been opened? The thing looks identitical to one that just came out of a box. Super shiny and untouched looking. No scratches. Nothing.
>>331639487
the seal on the box is broken. It's a used item in good condition. That's the end of it lad, I'm sorry you don't know how resale works. Put it back up for $80 and you'll sell it.
>>331639612
i can put a new seal on it. No one would know the difference.
>>331639127
it's still the best option if you want to play something on the go
>>331639709
you could yeah, you'd be a fucking asshole but you could do that. And you run the risk of someone noticing.
>>331639870
Why would I be a bad person? It looks exactly brand new. They'd be happy and they get it a cheaper price. I'm doing them a favour really.
>>331640361
because you're selling a used item as brand new
>>331631969
I'll give you $70 for the 3DS alone.
>>331640892
But it's exactly brand new in pretty much every sense of the word. If you're really anal, you could say since it's been taken out of the box for a while, it's not new. But really, who cares. It looks new.That's all that matters.
>>331641525
>if you're really anal
anon, look at it this way. If you go to Gamestop or some shit and pay for a brand new copy of a game, then they dig the disc out of the drawer and put it in the gutted display box, how do you react?
>>331641738
Normally. Don't they always do that anyways?
>>331641738
That's the main reason I don't fucking shop there anymore. They tried to do that to me once and I left. It's not new if it's not sealed.
>>331641525
New means new. If you want to sell it as a collector's item then don't take it out of the fucking box. Not a difficult concept to grasp.
>>331641525
Shit doesn't matter how "new" it looks
Its an older-deprecated model
At most expect $100
Just hack it - invest in a 128GB MSD for like $40 and then sell it on Ebay for $200-$250
:V
>>331631969
i bought my 3ds second hand off ebay for 110aud like 2 years ago
drop the price
people on gumtree always ask for too much
i was trying to find an xbone controller to use on my pc and people were asking for shit like 180aud
for a fucking second hand controller

You'll get $60 if you're lucky.
