Value of DS?

shenry · 05-04-2008, 10:21 AM

Just wondering how much I could get for a Nintendo DS "Phat" (The older one) version that comes with 3 DS games and 3 GBA games. Also includes a charger (Australian), a game case that holds 9 DS games and a car charger (Not sure what countries it works with). On the touch screen there's a screen protector that has a couple of scratches on it the screen below has no scratches however.

Australian prices please!

Thanks in advanced.

maybe around $200 to $225 AU... a new one is $199AU so second hand plus games...

In the US, you can buy a used 'Phat' DS for $69 in game shops, games are dirt cheap, as are accessories.

I'd say you'd be lucky to get $125 USD, not sure what that pans out to in AUD.

You probably missed the "Phat" bit. Anyway I emailed EB games and asked them for a quote. They said around 50 AU for the DS and needed to know the titles to get a price on them. 150 - 200 would be nice but I might not get that.

OK well that sounds good..... $50AU would be right - you can get a second hand one for $99 from EB games.

EB games, i have a place right next to my house. Gamestop bought it out though, but anyways, i went there and they offered $7.20 for his n64, snes, and like 6-7 games for each system.

Yeah they rip you off majorly though!!

Who would want an n64 anyway?

In the US, at least where I am, you'd be hard pressed to get even $25 for a fully working DS, +$10 for a DS Lite.. Hell, most shops around here offer up $38-$45 for a fully working PSP!

It's sad, really

Good luck with your sale, I'd try ebay before you trade it in or sell it to EB Games..

Yeah I've been thinking about ebay. But 25$ for a working DS. Gosh.

I might not end up selling it if it's not worth it. I could just give it to one of my cousins for their birthday and they would love it being only 4 - 10 years old. I will think about it...

Thanks for everyones input.
