Woohoo ! I knew that this 3DS was rare, but it is even more hard to find than expected !
I'm so lucky then !
Yeah, I heard that it sold out really fast in North America, so it's pretty rare to find now.

Yes, and some crazy guys in France tries to sell this version at 400€ !
Or twice the market price !

:eek: , wow, I sometimes hate when people do that, it's so unnecessary, but I guess it's all business, I haven't seen this 3DS where I live in stores, so I would understand why he "tried" to sell the 3DS so expensive.

Yes, some people in France are truly money-stealers guys.

kinda makes sense since the Europe region tends to be the worst off when it comes to Nintendo stuff in general. Perhaps there was less supply which led to higher prices

Yes, but, for 2-3 markets I have visited, they got at least 2-3 3DS who were Limited Editions.
As I said earlier, they also buy the system, then try to sell it with higher prices.

I see....well, I guess business practices just differ from region to region then. All I have to say is I'm glad I don't have to deal with that kind of stupidity

Yes. To say well, I have sold (some) of my GC games to a guy who buy cheap 3DS systems, and sells it for higher prices.
And he told me that he was going to sell my games too. That's a shame. And I also sold FE: Path of Radiance to this guy, because he wanted to buy it for 30€.

Wow...bad business practices much? And the fact that he explicitly told you that he was going to do that....wth lol I doubt it will anytime soon but hopefully that changes at some point

Yes. This is definitely what some (not all) people does in France.

So, you have the blue one too ?!? I took me a while to get it in France ! (Now, I'll be out for 10-15 minutes, as the Nintendo Direct will start !)

You didn't know ? I posted on your wall saying that I had the blue pokemon themed 3ds xl as well lol... Well when you said it took you a while I believe it was very hard to find one ?

Well obviously if it took someone a while to buy one it was very hard to find one....especially if it's France where you've got idiotic retailers selling at ridiculous prices as D4rkDragon said on a couple threads

Ah, yes, forgot that you posted on my wall !

Sure, that's how people act in France ! But not a big surprise, finally.

Or maybe they have been broken, have issues. Or the compulsive need to collect them !

Yes if you're a Nintendo collector or like limited edition stuff you will obviously collect them like me but I need to save money in order to do so yeah they could have been broken too :L

My first 3DS, which I got a few days after release, was the Aqua Blue 3DS. The circle pad broke aswell as the R button.

My second 3DS, which I got for Christmas 2011, was the Flame Red 3DS. It broke in late 2012 due to a piece of the charger port breaking off.

My third 3DS, which was a Blue 3DS XL, didn't actually break. I just wanted the Pokémon one. :p
