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.
