Are you looking to buy a Nintendo DS or DSi? Luckily for most the credit crunch has seen the price of these consoles drop a little in price anyway, without using tactics to find cheaper ones. The main reason for the drop in price is because the demand doesn’t meet the supply. This is because people are saving there their money more in hard times.

If you want to go to a retail store to purchase your console then make sure you ask if they can do you a deal. Even if the DS already has a sale price on it. Sometimes they will throw in extras like carry bags which are always a bonus. Purchasing online is probably going to be the cheapest way to buy your Nintendo DS, this is because it’s a bigger market place with more businesses competing against each other, which means better deals. The online store owner also doesn’t have upfront costs like rent and taxes.

A very common place to buy them is eBay. Second hand and brand new examples will be available and this gives you a good price range. Also if you look after Christmas, some people sell them brand new as unwanted Christmas presents. eBay is a very good place for comparing prices because there are so many being sold by different people in a small place.

One thing to keep in mind about eBay is the rate of people getting ripped off is slightly higher than if you bought from an independent online shop. This shouldn’t put you off because o the very good bargains that can be had for legitimate Nintendo consoles. Doing some simple checks will give you the edge. Make sure the seller has good feedback. Browse through the comments left by other people who have purchased from them. If they have an eBay store and not just listing individual items, this is a good sign, although if they haven’t it doesn’t mean they are not the real deal. Paying via Paypal will give you an extra bit of security because you can reclaim you money from the seller after the transaction has been made, if the item arrives and it isn’t what was stated on the listing.

By landing on this website you have even more of an advantage over your follow bidders. This blog is linked to my website which is a Nintendo store. However let me let you into a little secret. Many of the listings in store are actually pulled from the eBay auctions. So by clicking on them you will be taken to the bidding page. The advantage comes from using our site. We can list all the items on eBay that perhaps the general user may over look. For example we are set up to list items that include a wide range of criteria, from misspelt listing titles, to them being listed in the wrong category. As a general user of eBay you may only search for the exact title in the correct category and potentially miss out on these other gems, and as others miss out to the bidding and final price is lower.

In the UK alone, the Nintendo DSi managed to sell 92,000.  This was mainly from pre-order sales and it has been said that they out sold all other hardware in the region combined.  That’s pretty impressive.  The question is will the sales keep coming.

The Nintendo DSi is an upgrade from the DS Lite and there is some speculation as to what it exactly has to offer for the money and if it is worth it.  The sales figures have proven other wise though and it has become the most popular handheld console on the market.
