I got an OG 3DS for $99, was only grade 5 but was absolutely pristine. 3D Land was still downloadable from the shop, too, but I lucked out on that.

you can grab used vitas anytime at great prices on craigslist. i was literally cruising GAF at work yesterday wondering what killzone on vita was like. i figured i could find a cheap one on craigslist. three minutes later, i found a vita 3g, 8gb mem, and killzone for 100.00. the guy was less than 20 min away. He dashed over, showed me everything, and the sale was nearly painless. The only issue i had was that the vita was still authorized under his account so i couldnt login using my own playstation plus. a quick scan of the internets told me how to fully wipe the system.
the screen hadnt even been scratched because he kept a protector on it. the body had an acceptable amount of wear.
satisfactory transaction. no shipping charge. Vitas are plentiful on CL. pick your price.

Not in Seattle, apparently. They seem to be going for $150 and upwards. There are usually no listings for any used memory cards, either, but having said that, I just saw a 32GB card for $50... I wish I needed one that large.

I don't know how that's possible. Look at the thumbstick, it's caked full of Dorito crumbs.
Who handles their electronics this poorly? Every disc game I own doesn't have a single scratch on it. All of my electronics that I purchased new are 100% mint.
I'm guessing 5 year olds?

i just looked for you. guy right now is selling a vita with ass creed and madden in Washington/ Tacoma CL. 120.00. frankly, that means 100.00 because unless it says FIRM, 9 times out if 10, if you make someone an offer thats not insulting, they'll go for it because its 70% more than ANYTHING a store will ever give them.
you'll find it within 3 days. Easy peasy. trick is using the search string function. go a little over your comfort price and barter down.
good luck.

Ah, yeah, I meant within a distance I could reach easily by bus. Sorry about that.
I mean, I'm happy with the one I got off of Cowboom for $109 (after tax). I probably could have saved another $10, but I don't think I'll return it since it's in good condition. Besides, that one for $120 wasn't there last I looked, and I just happened to jump on it a week ago because of the Cowboom deal.

Followup on getting my Vita I ordered last week: I bought a 5, and while the back side of it is scuffed to shit, like some kid had it at school and slid it around on concrete or in a backpack, the front is almost perfect save for a quarter inch abrasion on the top of the screen that's impossible to see when the Vita is on, and burn in when the screen fades to a certain level of black (which oddly disappears when games are playing because they display a darker shade of black in loading screens.) Not bad for a cut price, but I'm really curious to see what 6s and up are like
7's are perfect. I ordered a 6 and I'm hoping I won't have to return it.

See a few 6s. Can you return them or are all sales final?
If its a vita 1000, you'll need the USB to vita cable. I found one on Amazon for pretty cheap.

so the descriptions aren't accurate? the all caps scare me and they all make these systems sound TERRIBLE. lol
Look at the pictures. You can gamble on the ones without pictures though. My 3DS had no picture, and it was very good. The only issue was the bottom had one black scratch that was pretty obvious, but other than that, perfect. Both my system's screens are brand new.
Holy shit at the first grade 4 I see. Very first option too.
ewwww
This thing right?

I don't really care if it's off brand as long as it will work. It's a damn USB cable.

How long did it take for a Grade 7 to pop up for you? I never know when they update. Tempted to return my (near-perfect) Grade 6, if so.
It popped up immediately. But it was missing the power supply, which is no big deal. I just ordered a cheap Vita USB cable for $4 and I'll charge it from my PC/PS4.

i see a 3g vita class 6 thats 104.99. missing some accessories tho

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Took the risk and bought a grade 6 or 7(I forgot) 3g model that came with everything minus the 3g sim card for about 104.99 on sunday and just got here today wednesday. Good Lord it's almost like brand new except except a few small scratches on the back but the front screen is perfect and gorgeous. Even came with the original box
I'm happy.
P.S. I at first thought I was gonna have a problem because the Vita wasn't charging at first but holy shit it was already fully charged and ready to play according to the battery meter.

What does it even mean when it says it doesn't come with a battery? Do they actually take it out?
poopninjamvc3mk

Mines only said Included:Game Console, Ac Power Cable, Usb Cable and it came with the battery thankfully.
But if you're saying where some of them say Not Included: Battery then yeah I'm confused by that as well.
It's grader error. You can usually ignore spurious items that are mentioned in the item details (battery and A/V cable for Vitas).

PCH-1101's are back in stock, grade 5, 6 and some 7s for $89.99 even though the listing says $104.99. You can use CowBoom5 to get another $5 off.
Just picked up a grade 6 with all accessories for $90.94 after tax and free shipping.

Thanks, I may grab one, mostly for remote play.
edit: bought. The plus games tipped me over.
Got a Grade 7 only missing the owner manual
Site is loading super slow though... Can't even reach amazon checkout! Must be a CDN issue...

Thx for the heads up.
Grabbed a grade 6 for $90. I kept looking at them and slowly they were all disappearing. Glad I snatched one though.

How can they sell a vita without a battery?

Finally got my Vita today, it came in near perfect condition. The box itself looked like it hadn't even been opened. The accessories were even in their original packaging.
I ended up with a grade 6 and literally can't find anything wrong with it, its going to take a microscope to see if there are any scratches on the screen.
Everything was included in the box - charging cables, instructions, etc, and even though mine was listed without a battery in the description, it definitely has one.
Now to hunt for a cheap memory card!

I was impressed that this was a grade 6. Definitely would be willing to take a shot with Cowboom on other electronics in the future.
