In a move that can only be described as "batsh*t insane," some clown on eBay is selling brand new 3DS units for $149.99. That's a twenty spot less than the current retail price, which as you all remember just dropped a little over two weeks back, plus he's offering free shipping! The listing states that both Aqua Blue and Cosmo Black colors are available, and though supply is limited, it hasn't run out since I last checked this morning.
I have no idea how this guy is making any money off this ludicrous scheme. He's practically giving them away! Either a Nintendo supply truck was "rerouted," or he's buying directly from Nintendo and cutting out the middleman. Either way, given his extremely high feedback score, I'm positive he's on the level. If you were holding off on buying a 3DS because it was still too pricey for you, maybe this deal will entice you.

No 3DS. No 3DS.
Compared to a real one, you could see how they weren't real. The plastic was a tad cheaper. The DS slot was made of cheaper material, the headphone jack was off center so you couldn't actually use any headphones, and the screen had a small layer of crusted glue where it was put together.
They still have them and the work, but they are 100% fakes. The final nail in the "it's fake" coffin was when we double checked the serial number with Nintendo, and no such number existed. So let it be known, honest Ebay sellers get duped as well. The seller they bought the DS Lites from had a 100% rating as well from thousands and thousands of sales.
He had no idea they were fake and stopped selling them when we contacted him.
I haven't found the battery life to be an issue at all. Unless you're going into the forest for a few days and want to play 3DS the whole time you're tramping. I wouldn't recommend that though.
Seriously, if you're ok with charging it every day (assuming you're getting a lot of usage out of it), I wouldn't see the battery life as a problem. I think the totally dire battery life that's been reported must be with 3D on and screen brightness on 5, which is just too much for my eyes (and the eyes of my friends!) I get about 8-9 hours out of a charge.
These aren't stolen, probably just scored a sweet deal or something.
They're 250 on their website, so fuck if I know.
I'd snatch one up if I hadn't just spent 600 bucks yesterday. Fuuuu
