My friend wants to sell his Ds Lite with a supposed broken L button for either Mario Kart or $45. His other route would be trading it into Gamestop. Should i take him up on his deal?

Depends, will you be able to fix the ds lite? It isn't worth the trouble if you can't

do NOT SELL IT, i just bought a "broken" ds and fixed it in two seconds, broken l buttons are a common problem yet the fix is so simple. Take your lips and press them over the broken shoulder button, blow somewhat hard and thats it.
worked for me and i wound up having a pretty nice deal on a ds.

Take the deal, my shoulder buttons get clogged all the time. Its just gunk that builds up.

That sounds like ANY controller/console really, since I fix my friends controllers and system power buttons all the time. You'd be surprised how mucked up buttons get from people's sweat and dirt that's on their hands/fingers when they play a game.
Maybe I'm the exception to the rule, but I actually wash my hands before I'm going to play a game. Weird, huh? Thus far, I've never had to de-gunk any of my own controllers.
As others have said, take the offer, but I would definitely NOT put my lips anywhere where someone had their fingers/hands/whatever because well....that's just nasty. Now, after I cleaned the controllers/systems/whatever with rubbing alcohol and q-tips, I might change my mind, but before.....BLEH!!

Even if you can't fix it, 90% of DS games don't use the L button, so its a good deal.

But a true friend would fix it for him for free. Trade-in credit for a working DS Lite at GS is $60.

I'm playing the ds right now and there's nothing wrong with it
