Buying a refurbished Nintendo DS can save you lots of money, if you don't mind a little extra work to seek out and find the right retailer. A refurbished Nintendo may have simply been part of an overstock, or been repacked, or repaired; but if you ask the right questions you can get a system just as good as new.

Step 2: Find a Refurbished Nintendo DS Retailer
- Finding a reputable dealer in refurbished electronics sometimes means finding a reputable dealer in new electronics. Shopping on the Internet for anything can be dangerous, so it is best to go with the company you know.
- Nintendo: Finding Used Nintendo Products
- GameStop: Nintendo DS System - Gamestop Refurbished
- Best Buy: Refurbished Products
- EBGames: DS Lite - GameStop Refurbished
- Overstock.com: Nintendo DS Hardware Electric Blue (Refurbished)

Step 3: Ask Questions Before You Buy
- If you can't (or don't want to) use one of the better-known marketers, ask the retailer several questions.
- Does the company also sell new products?
- Is the unit still under its original warranty?
- Does the retailer have an exchange policy?
- Can you try the refurbished item before you buy it?

Conclusion
A refurbished Nintendo DS system can be far less expensive but just as good as a brand spanking new one. As long as you're careful about who you buy the refurbished system from, you'll get away clean.
A "refurbished product" can mean an overstocked item or older model still in its original packing, an item that has been sold to a customer who opened the box and returned it, an item with cosmetic damage, or an item that has been rebuilt to repair damage.
