Recommendations to buy a 3ds and send it to loopy when I have back the stock

[Mouse]

Look, I need some advice. I plan to buy an ogg 3ds for when loopy reopen to ship it to him. But I found out that many versions of the og 3ds have the problem that the crosshead and joystick wear out very fast. So if you could give me some advice when buying an og 3ds

I was concerned about this same thing and ended up forking over some extra cash to get a brand new one "sealed in box". They are much harder to find now and probably more expensive. But I did a quick search on ebay and saw a few still available. Other than that the only other thing I can think of is to look for "barely used" consoles or "in great condition" consoles on ebay/amazon. Though I would suggest Ebay cause you can actually see screen shots of what you are getting. I got one off amazon one time and they sent me a "3ds xl" 2 times, I had to ship them both back before they figured out I wanted the original 3ds.

Get one on ebay from japan. they are usually sub $70 and come in great condition. I got my Cap card installed on a used flame red 3ds from japan for $63. U can force a region change with CFW.

Can confirm, bought a Japanese 3DS for like $30 US, it's a bit scuffed, but it's perfectly fine.
