Picked up my favorite 3ds this weekend, a white non-xl new3ds.
I've seen quite a few for sale. But they've all been really beat up, missing plates, chewed on, or all that and priced at $400+
Found this one for $250, and it's in better shape than I was expecting. Super clean screens, scratch free shell, and as a bonus it even had a 512gb SD card in it. Its not as nice as my MH one which is basically fresh out of the box. Or my red one that I unboxed new in 2025 but pretty good for someone who's as picky as I am.
The non XL is the best unit imo. Way easier to travel and games look much better on the smaller screens, and it has rainbow buttons, who doesn't love that.
It does need an OEM stylus, a new battery, and may get some 3rd party shells to keep the originals scratch free.
Now that I have it, I'm probably going to start selling off all but it and my red 3ds, and two bnib units, which even them I'm deciding on putting up on eBay considering what bnib units are going for, and can finally stop obsessively checking FB marketplace all the time.
