You're wrong. A modded N3DSXL can get me more money from the original price.And you will waste your money doing so paying eBay the listing fees and no one will buy it at $250 or even $150 these days.

Every console out there can be modded. It aint nothing special anymore especially at this time of how long the 3ds console has been out there. Aswell since freeshop was long killed there aint nothing special that way either. Either way I would rather buy a new console off the shelf than one used already.You're wrong. A modded N3DSXL can get me more money from the original price.
Whatever price a second hand N3DSXl sells for in the USA add $10 to $15 on to at most for a hacked one.You're wrong. A modded N3DSXL can get me more money from the original price.
Exactly! That's why I wanted a new Switch off the shelf or bought from Amazon ASAP.Every console out there can be modded.

Either way I would rather buy a new console off the shelf than one used already.
When I said more I meant like maybe $10-$20 more. Really just that it wasn't worth going to the effort of removing and taking the risk of bricking your console.You're wrong. A modded N3DSXL can get me more money from the original price.

That's fine. I can just sell it for either those prices from the original price I bought it at.
You're telling me to start lower and add price to the 64GB MicroSD Card already in the 3DS to tally the total and adding shit tons of games on it?Here's where I'm trying to get you to understand your asking price is too high or not a good value for a (smart) buyer.
1. I go on Nintendo eBay store and pick up a refurbished n3DSXL Galaxy edition for $120 and pay the FL state tax of 6% (adjust your rates for whichever state you live in). My total is $128 for basically a like-brand new system. Not only is shipping is free, I get a limited time off $25 eBay coupon, so now my total is around $102. Let's say I don't want the Galaxy but decide to go with the regular black model because I'm a colorist who finds purple to be fugly. (For anyone who thinks I'm bad mouthing about the galaxy edition, my actual n3DSXL is a galaxy btw... This is just for pretend scenario.) My current total is $128.
2. I receive the system but still need to somehow install custom firmware onto this bad boy. Let's say I totally suck at following directions or am too lazy to do the free hacking method, seedminer, so I decide to go with ntrboot. I'm also a stingy person who doesn't feel like shelling out lots of money. Although my first choice of ntrboot capable flashcart would have been the $5 R4iSHDC series, long time 3DS homebrew users recommend going with the $20 R4i Gold 3DS Plus if I know what's good for me in having a trouble-free hacking experience. My total now is $148.
3. The only thing I'm missing to make my n3DSXL worthwhile is that I need to get a big enough micro SD cardto go on a pirate bonanzaso I can purchase all the games I ever could from Nintendo eShop. I decide to get the largest micro SD card that has the best GB/$ ratio in case I want to someday use that card on my future Nintendo Switch (Lite). I first decided to go with the Micro Center 256 GB sd card for $26, bringing my total to $174. I eventually decide against Micro Center even though they have a stellar reputation selling computer parts at fair prices, so instead I settle with this SanDisk 256 GB sd card for $38 because that brand is all about the flash memory bizznish. Even though I could have easily built a CFW'ed n3DSXL with a 256 GB card setup for $128 if I really wanted to, my final tally is $186.
Compared to your $150 (+ $10-20 = $160-170), that extra $26 buys me these peaces of mind:
You have to sell at such a price that's low enough to offset those above build advantages and concerns when it comes to 2nd hand ownership, or you'll just end up wasting your money, time, and effort trying to sell a product that no one finds to be appealing (enough).
- A hardly used (if at all) system. Build quality is backed up to be free of defectives by Nintendo or warranty exchange.
- A system that is guaranteed to not be banned.
- No software or 3DS firmware issues from improper CFW setup.

Ugh... Then what should I do to keep the listing alive since eBay hates non-legit games and only prefers bought legit games? I would have to create a NEW NNID and purchase games on it.You'll get your listing removed from ebay if you add games
Don't have any good advice for you sorry, I sell all my stuff on Facebook or local classifieds sites (no fees then, and easier to protect yourself from scammers).Ugh... Then what should I do to keep the listing alive?
I'm telling you to put yourself in the mindset of typical buyers asking, "Why would anyone want to buy my n3DSXL over options B, C, D, etc?"You're telling me to start lower and add price to the 64GB MicroSD Card already in the 3DS to tally the total and adding shit tons of games on it?
The moment you try selling your system as having custom firmware with explicit proof that it has tons of pirated games, someone can file a report against your listing to have eBay remove it.Ugh... Then what should I do to keep the listing alive since eBay hates non-legit games and only prefers bought legit games? I would have to create a NEW NNID and purchase games on it.
I wouldn't do that, digital games are close to worthless - you'd be throwing money away.I would have to create a NEW NNID and purchase games on it.
Thanks. You're right. I should just sell it somewhere else for ONLY at least $100. Unless people are willing to spend a bit more or slightly less in a bid war.I wouldn't do that, digital games are close to worthless - you'd be throwing money away.
I would just list it somewhere that has free classifieds, and relist it every few days or weeks for less money until someone's interested. Good luck!
Custom firmware can be installed on all 2|3DS models up to the latest firmware. For N2DSXL there are two easy options:Hello @ all,
i am long time away now from doing stuff with a 3ds. I wanted to buy someone a new 2dsxl as gift and put luma on it.
Can i just buy one safely and be able to mod it ? What would i need ? i only have an old gateway card blue and a friend has a r4 gold pro revolution from 2014 (printed on card). Or are those cards not compatible anymore for the newest models ?
Thanks for your help pushing me in the right direction
