So… I used to own a DS lite back in the day… but it broke in my backpack back in my 20’s. I still own my old Pokémon games (heart gold and leaf green) and was hoping to get back into them.
DS lite went for $129 in the US back when they came out in 2006… adjusted for inflation that’s about $195. 
I guess I’m wondering if anyone has any experience buying any of these refurbs I’m seeing online.
Are these 20 year old consuls worth $160 ?
I already tried asking this question on the Nintendo sub Reddit, and no one cared…
That’s a great point, the DS lite is a beautifully made console and it also plays GBA games really nicely as well (literally has a gba built into it) but with any of the 2ds/3ds line you can quite easily soft mod them and carry around a huge games library, also battery life and charging the device is better than the DS lite
