> Nintendo 3DS is another great space to watch
Back in 2020 while the Covid-19 pandemic was on-going and we were all told to stay home as much as possible, I bought a New Nintendo 3DS XL (terrible name making “New” part of the product name btw) second hand for about $100 with some games included. I also picked up some additional games for it second hand as well. I even got a bunch of games that one person was giving away for free.
After enjoying the 3DS XL for a couple of months I eventually sold it to someone else.
I was thinking recently that it would be nice to have a 3DS XL again (I’ve also tried DS Lite during the same time that I bought the 3DS XL, but only the 3DS XL is comfortable to use for the size of my hands).
In my country the amount of money people want for a 3DS XL is much higher now than what it was in 2020. People want $300 and up now for their 3DS XL, even without games included and even if the condition of the console is very worn. The few times that something even moderately decently priced shows up it will most likely get picked up very quickly by someone else that wants to just buy it and then sell it for more.
