sorted byNever had good experience with electronics this way, eg Tablet with 3rd of screen not working, phone with non-working buttons. They probably just take customer returns, don't check them and sell them on,
It's called the "new" 3ds to distinguish it from the previous 3ds, yeah blame Nintendo for that one...
If it's fully refurbed and now looks like grade b, god knows what sort of state it was in before the refurb.

All firmware is exploitable.
If it's on 11.4 or 11.5, you'll need a second hacked 3DS or specific games, or a hardmod to hack it.
If it's on 11.3 or less, you can softmod it.
So it's a bit of a gamble. All New 2DS XL consoles will be on 11.4 but who knows, maybe a hack will become available upon release.
Any warranty sold on eBay isn't really worth the "paper" its written on when eBay really don't care and therefore will do nothing about it if the seller is awkward/doesn't reply.
Got any guides you can PM me

Why?
To be honest I didn't know the 2ds xl would be that cheap, I can find it for £20 more at £129.99 but as you say includes adapter. If you're not bothered about 3d that looks a cracker.
Edit: Just read the OP, why have the prices increased since release?

You got a "new" 3ds xl for £130? Pretty sure the xl has always been around the £180 mark brand new, was it a cheap buy it now on ebay or something? The "new" 3ds not xl version was around £130ish from memory.
When I worked for a sports shoe company we would get returns from Argos. We would receive returns for other companies as well like toasters, kettles etc. along with our goods. My point is it looks like they don't do a right lot of checking in general.
Fount the receipt, it was £160 from Tesco Direct with £20 off spend over £150, bringing the price to £140. There's another -£10 on the receipt probably a personal discount, it was May 2015.
Fair enough that was cheap with the voucher and such. I can see nintendo bringing the price back down when the 2ds xl is out as this isn't worth £50 more than that (as of current rrp anyway). Same screens and internals just doesn't have 3d that most people turn off anyway.
I had thought that it would be a new unit, customer return, and refurbished. I think it is instead a Mazuma type second hand unit. There is a scratch on the bottom screen of mine and the stylus is particularly worn so won't stay in the unit.
I am not sure it is such a good buy.

This looks a decent deal but above comments regarding argos ebay have put me off this particular one
