Nintendo DS Crimson and Black, boxed, reduced to £95 inc postage

POSTED BY: billyX 4 months, 3 weeks ago

Okay, it's time for another clearout- i'm anticipating moving back to Manchester for at least three months at the end of May, so i'm going to rent out my flat here in Cardiff and put things into storage... hence me wanting to clear out anything i'm not going to use. My plan is to clear £1500 of sales to pay for me to go to Tokyo in October... cool eh! Anyway...

This Crimson and matt black DS was bought brand new in Mid October 2007 from a BestBuy electronics shop just off of Hollywood Boulevard. It's absolutely mint- there is not a scratch on it, and it works perfectly. All the packaging is here, including the leaflets, Brain Age 2 game which is still sealed, Nintendo carrying case/sleeve thingy, US charger, and an additional Logic 3 charger for the UK. It's seen about 100 hours use since I got it, mostly on Advance Wars (60 hours!) and has never been out of the house- only ever used on the settee.

This is the best DS i've owned and the finish is as good as you've been told. Obviously the DS plays all UK games, will charge as normal through the adaptor, and does everything a UK bought DS will do whilst looking quite a bit cooler :) There's a screen protector on the top screen and there are absolutely no scratches or pressure marks on the bottom screen.

Asking price is £105 inc Special Delivery. Paypal or bank transfer is great, obviously paypal fees would need to be added to the price, and bank transfer funds would need to clear before dispatch. I'll post some pics below in the next ten mins.

Asking Price: 95.00

hiya gringo, when I say the end of May I think that practically it'll be the 15th of June, because my girlfriend is going back to San Francisco on the 14th, and I don't think she'll let me out of her sight before then...
I'm a bit torn here because you've made a great offer, but i'm having to move back up with just a carload of clothes, laptop etc so it'd probably make more sense to have only the things i'll need in the car.... although the DS is only about the size of a sandwich.... hope you don't mind, but i'll hang about to see if I get any other offers before deciding
cheers, BillyX

Good to see you back Mark. Unfortunately I can't afford your DS but I would be interested in renting your flat. Do you take DSS lol? When you posting the rest of the stuff your getting rid of? I know you've got lots of lovely things that you would sell me at a sweet price!

Hi,

Any chance of a photo of the dual screens switch off to check for marks, and any of the top & underside, again to check for damage?

Thanks.

BFN,

fp.

Hi there,

Good to be back [I think... my wallet isn't so sure]!

Hope you're well too.

Yes, anytime you can get the photos available will be fine.

I'll be out now until about 8pm anyway.

BFN,

fp.

Hiya FP.
Got back really late i'm afraid- sorry- and so the pics haven't come out at all well because my Sony F505V is really on it's last legs and will only take decent close-ups when there is excellent natural light in the room. I'll post better pictures tomorrow, but for now here's a link to the ones I took tonight (note- no screen pics because absolutely nothing came out apart from the reflection from my ceiling lights... sigh!)

SWANSEA????

actually, Cardiff isn't that much better than Swansea I guess. More fights and the chance of bumping into a cyberman on Queen Street, but apart from that it's about equal in Welsh rubbishness. Yes the money is good here but i'll be glad to get back to Mancs for a bit, just a shame I can't get back for the 21st.
I don't know how much stuff i'll be able to list, i'm just thinking it's a good idea to sell the bigger items that i'll probably end up upgrading in the next year anyway- but i'll prob do a big listing of games and DVDs in about a week so I just have one or two days of parcelling and sending. Am prob gonna part with the 360 too, I can't see me using it a fair while and i've got a hankering for another PS3 now GTA is out. Is it worth keeping the HD (it's a premium) and selling the console, leads and controller here for £110ish? or am I best including the HD lads?

To be honest fella I'm on the hunt for a 360 myself but struggling to gather cash. I'm in the middle of exchanging stuff at CEX w3ith the intention of getting one from there but they are about £145 for an unboxed core!!!!!! Got about £70 worth of vouchers at the mo though!

I missed out on a premium with HD and all leads yesterday for £70, gutted, but the guy did sell me an RRoD premium on it's own for £25 so that will go nicely along with the core I have with a dodgy disc drive, now...time to call M$ and get this RRoD sorted, then I can play GTA IV on the 360 (why not just get it for the 360 instead of the PS3?, xbox has extra downloadable content coming and it is exclusive, as Micro$oft paid for it to be developed, lol).
