$130 for 1 ds lite is crazy. I'm pretty sure that's about what I paid (if not a bit more) for mine brand new.

What I want to see:
1) Buy a console from DK Oldies
2) If it’s in bad condition, send it back to them for repairs as if it were not purchased from them
3) See if they treat customer repairs better than the consoles they sell

I was looking at getting a DS Lite and decided to give DK Oldies a try.... Saw they were $140 and said yeah screw that, picked one up off craigslist for $40 in fine shape.

The best way of using the touch screen for shooters on these was using the wrist strap that used to come with them, they had a little piece that was meant to go over your thumb to use on the touch screen. it actually worked quite well from what i remember.

In the uk you can get a ds lite for around £20 tax free which is like $23

I've been waiting for a DS video! I used to fix up DS lites and replacing the top screen takes like 15-20 minutes if you've done it before, and cleaning the dirt in the top crack is easy since you've already got the lid shell open. I honestly bet they might have just been afraid to tear the ribbon cable for the top screen.

Yesss I have been waiting for a DS lite video! That’s how I got scammed by this company. Had smokers brown goo ALL around it and it was white so it was noticeable I even paid for the refurbished one and the consoles screen didn’t even work either. Ever since I’ve been following the drama

I bought a white one unbowed but in absolute mint condition for around $31 a few years ago and it works perfectly. I bought it from a store called cash converters here in the uk.

I got stuff from goodwill finds and it’s in way better condition than what I returned at DK oldies

[Yeeoldman]

A cosmetically flawed Ds from DKoldies would be a DS lite that the bottom screen is cracked and the top screen is ripped off and the bumpers are destroyed and the d pad is non functional and the stylus is broken in -5/8 and they will still charge you $5000 and a crappy used fake charger that doesn’t work half of the times.

For something to be considered refurbished, does the company have to show proof or can they just include it in the name of each product sold

[bloodCount]

My local flea market/antique mall has a seller with a large video game booth and sells DS Lites for $50 with cables, and $60 for open but with box and items.

[Clanps]

I got a refurbished ice blue ds lite for $40 on ebay and you can't even tell it's ever had wear. The case is in phenomenal condition.

[infineon]

Honestly would like to see something you ordered within the last week or so to see if they cleaned up their act :)

[Dudyfushsbchc]

I could get 2 DS Lites for 150 bucks at my local gameshop...

[aaronpride]

I remember DS Lites being $169 ten years ago.

[itranscendencei]

I repair and sell DS Lites, and for that price I would expect Drew himself to have licked the dirt out of the casing on the white one. Having new screens should just be a given at that price too, regardless of it being "cosmetically flawed".

[absin]

Wow, I bought an excellent condition DS lite for 80 dollars after shipping & tax. No scratches on any of the screens, no wobble, I’m not saying you should expect completely flawless consoles, I just got really lucky. But it’s crazy that DK oldies up charges so much

[TheWretchedWorld]

250 is criminal. At one point you could literally pick these up for next to nothing literally 10-20 dollars for one in fully working condition.

I've triggered the liquid indicator by cleaning out the battery compartment with IPA! Might explain it
