Nintendo DS Lite: Advice for getting one cheap that isn't borked.

I'm looking for advice on getting a DS Lite for cheap that isn't broken and isn't missing any major parts (like the wall charger).

I've been trying to get a hold of one on eBay, but whereas I'm only willing to pay $50 for a used DS Lite, people are seriously outbidding me and buying these things for $100. Which is crazy to me since you can get one new for $120!?!

I've also been scanning Craigs List. But I would welcome any advice.
 
I'd beware the Gamestoped ones. 'Refurbished' probably allows for a certain number of dead pixels.
 
You might want to wait until after the holidays because these things are hot right now, and prices will likely drop as people sell off their old systems as they will get new ones as gifts. At Gamestop you could check out the system you were buying and they also have a guarantee so if it stops working or something goes wrong you could just return or exchange it.

I would go for one of the newer colors and stay away from the plain white, and make sure you check all the buttons, the touch screen, the battery life (while at home)

Also if your interested in new you could wait for a $99 deal to come up again, it should come up again on one of the deal websites.
