WTB: Silver Phantom Hourglass DS Lite

Cosmic_Link · #1 12-21-2011, 11:21 AM

I just wanted to say thanks to the guy's who have posted info about this bundle in this thread. As you have all said, there doesn't seem to be alot of info about this bundle anywhere online. I spotted what appeared to be one of these bundles whilst I was out and about yesterday, at an excellent price, and picked it up. I remember seeing it online not long after it was released, but was well out of my price range at the time. Unfortunately, I missed the release date for this.

Had a gold one already, wanted the silver one for a set. Have seen loads of counterfeits around, but not seen enough images of a genuine one to be able to determine whether the one i had was real or not.

Anyway, after finding these forums (which are great may I add), I am now confident that what I purchased yesterday was in fact the real deal. It was second hand, boxed and bagged, not sealed, but in a very good condition, considering. There's some slight surface scratches on the lid, but nothing major and all the inserts and such appear to be there.

I took a couple more pics for you guys of the guts of the box and the back of the box sleeve.

So yeah, thanks again for all the info in this thread.

Also, good luck to OP finding one of these!

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.

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?

Yep, it was definitely a good price.

As said above, it amazes me that somebody would given such a rare console to a child in the first place considering they were advertised as only having a 1000pc production run...

Good find though, this one eluded me... >.< Lucky for you because I think I might have still bid on it at that price even considering it's condition... lol It is a shame to see such a nice console in such a sorry looking state though...

You're right, the seller shouldn't give it to a child.It's a shame that such a priceless thing ended up like this. I think that she didn't even know that 1000 of these were created. I was stunned when I saw this listing as it was the only listing on ebay
. I thought that I would never find it.Anyway, I bought the gold zelda phantom hourglass metal case, a crystal case in order to protect the remaining artwork and a set of two styluses.I have the phantom hourglass game so the set is complete.

The starting price was £29.99 and the buy it now price was £49.99. So I decided to choose the buy it now option.
