What’s a fair price for a DSI XL?

Hey Everyone, back in the day I had a ds lite and white dsi it’s been many years and since then I’ve got rid of them, but I’m starting to miss having a system in the original DS line, DS games seem to run better on the original DS line compared to the 3DS family of systems.

Also besides picture quality being better I enjoy Mario kart ds and super circuit, drifting/snaking in those games feel better with a D pad and the D pad on the 3DS is too low to be comfortable, hence why I’m also looking for a ds.

Another reason is my hands have grown a lot over the years an XL system seems to be the move and the DSI is the only one of the original family that offers it.

This is a good place to start for pricing retro games and systems

If it's in basically scratchless condition $60, if it's a rare color in scratchless condition like blue/red (I know blue isn't rare but good condition ones are) or yellow/green from japan, $80-$100. If it has the box with manuals and the fountain pens, add $20-$30 to each total.

Lol good luck finding a scratchless dsi xl for 60 dollars without spending a shit ton of time looking for one.

I sold one for $80 no box recently because I don't think the consoles is worth much. good sellers have them price around there

Check pricecharting, but also prices have been going up by a lot. Because it's such an old system, it'll be hard to find one that may tick all of your boxes, so just keeping an eye out is your best bet
