DS Lite - need to find a cheap one

Options
Please help find a cheap DS Lite. I bought one from Morrisons when they were only £65, got addicted and then it broke.

Managed to get my cash back from Morrisons, but they did not have any in stock to do an exchange and now I am without.

Looked around yesterday, but they are all near the £100 mark and after spending only £65 before, I am kind of reluctant to spend that much.

I only want a new one after having problems with one breaking already.

  • This Ebay page lists them for around the £70 mark (with added extras included), but they are coming from Hong Kong. However, delivery should only take roughly 10-14 days, going by my own HK ebay purchases.

  • I've looked at ebay and the Hong Kong ones, but was worred as I have already had one which packed up after less than 6 months. Could have just been un-lucky.

    I did not know you could have a warranty with a pre owned one. Did you get to look at it before you bought it to check for scratches etc., My mates say they have 'grooves' in theirs from some of the games where you keep flicking in the same place.

    £69.99 for a used one is somehow unworthy

    If it doesnt have to be a lite Game have pre owned phat DS for £39.99,I ordered one for DS as he is a bit heavy handed and snapped a lite.If you spend over £50 there is a £5 off code floating around.
    Still get 12 month guarantee too!

    I had a really good look at it, and i swear there isn't a mark on it, looks barely used... and the warranty is 12 months with an option to purchase 3yrs additional warranty for £15 to include accidental cover, you can't fall off in my opinion :)

    I dont agree... It is a s I said immaculate comes with a warranty and is cheaper than new... where's the 'unworthiness'? :confused:
