lol the description is funny.

Jesus, $75 + $15s/h.

If they can make the game and sell it at $4, certainly they can make the box/instructions for another $5. Maybe if you're wanting them to earn a few bucks $20 would be a fair price for such a reproduction. $90 is just absurd, I wouldn't even pay a hobbyist who's making a 1 off run specially for me that much for a repro.

And they do exist... and they're usually cheaper. People can be so greedy.

I agree, it's prohibitively expensive for that repro. It looks reaaal nice in the pictures though.

I bought one of those $4 ones, I've never even seen them that cheap.

$99 Ltd Edition New 3DS on Black Friday. Available at all US Retailers, supposedly. I may try and snag one just to mod.

Interesting. I'll have to see where I'm at selling off my hucards by then.

[banditwolf]

Good luck with that. I bet they will go super fast and go right on ebay that night.

[zanth1979]

That's very probable. Worth a try tho, right?

[Tubsiwub]

I have two 3DS with broken should buttons (they just don't do anything... they click and sound fine)

I'm reluctant to replace it a THIRD time...

[banditwolf]

Sure they are broken? I've read that dust is the main issue. My orig that I've put 100's of hours on has a shoulder button that acts up. But I can move it around and it'll work some.
