It was in a small store near me that sells comic books, trading cards, Manga and all sorts of movie character figures. He's recently started buying preowned games and consoles and it was just by chance that I was in there to exchange a Mass Effect Normandy Alliance Ship model, that I spotted it. lol The ship I bought was damaged, but didn't realise til I got it home...

You're going to cry at the price. It only cost me £75. Had I not sold my Aqua Blue 3DS that day, I wouldn't have been able to afford it. My wallet is empty atm because of Christmas!! >.<

So yeah, just keep your eyes open, as you may find stuff in the most unlikely places. lol I will keep an eye out for another one! lol There's a retro games store not far from me too, and he's never had one in there.

Absolute bargain that is £75

lol

Thanks for keeping an eye out for me. And think of me if you want to turn your £75 investment into a quick and tidy profit

Hello guys
I bought this console for about £54 including postage.But the only drawback is that some of the artwork has faded.
Is this a good deal?

Wow this whole time I never realized it was just a sleeve until you said that. tcon can you confirm?

I dunno about that Mario DSi but in hopes that someone finds this thread looking to sell their Phantom Hourglass DS Lite let's keep it on topic

I can confirm from my copy that it is just a sleeve around a standard silver DS lite box - a very valuable sleeve as its the only way to assure its genuine

lol No worries. I wouldn't hold your hopes up though!! >.<

Unfortunately this one has been caught in a collector's iron grip, so this one won't ever be up for sale. The money doesn't tempt me in the slightest. lol I'm sure you can understand that being a collector yourself!

The odd thing is, you don't accidentally buy something rare and collectible from an obscure independent retailer, that's limited to 1,000 units worldwide, and then give it to your child to play with, ony to then sell it on eBay for considerably less than you paid. Something is very strange about this listing...

As a buyer though, yes, you certainly got a steal there! The last time I checked on these they were making almost double their initial retail value for a used boxed copy, with sealed examples fetching between £450-£650... It could be that the value / interest in these has dropped significantly lately, or it could be that the faded artwork is what put other potential bidders off. I did notice that the words "Phantom Hourglass" weren't included in the listing title, so perhaps that's a contributing factor to the low low finishing price
