Default Thinking of buying a DSi.
Hey guys.
I'm thinking of buying a DSi.
But of course, there is one problem; money.

I have $7.95 in my wallet. Anyway, I have these things I could sell to put towards it:

Nintendo GBA SP
Nintendo DS - Skinned (Kingdom Hearts Skin #2)
Animal Crossing: Wild World (For DS)
FireLinker 128MB (Link)
I don't really know what else I could sell, except my computer.. I might sell it for that sexy thing though.

Cheers

Also, do you think its worth selling a rig for it?

Considering you already have a ds, I don't think the price is justified for what you get by upgrading.

Can't ask for price suggestions when you don't have 35 rep, as per the ToS.

Just like the other guy was saying. You already own a DS, and selling all this stuff isn't really worth it for the upgraded version.

A) Only bump every 24 hours

B) You cannot ask for pricing help without 35 rep,

C) I don't think the jump from DS to DSi is worth it

Well, do you think the prices will come down? They never did for the Nintendo DS.
Mum said she would buy me one when the prices came down, 2 years later; nothing. $10 cheaper.

There's really no reason for the price to come down. I think you should just be happy with your current DS honestly, but it's up to you.
