I'm trying to buy broken nintendo ds lites (and other models) to repair and re-sell. Does anyone know of any place other than Craigslist and eBay where I can get them inexpensively?

You should look into local Facebook swap and sell groups. I'm sure there are groups in your area where people who aren't interested in getting much for their stuff are posting their stuff. A lot of technically inept people who only use Facebook post their items on there, probably because they don't know how to use ebay...

 

A friend of mine got a 50" TV for free through a Facebook swap and sell group because one of the bulbs was loose and it wouldn't turn on. Pretty simple to take the panel off and fix it. He also got a 5.1 speaker system for free that was brand new. Pretty good way to set yourself up inexpensively.

I hadn't thought of that! I just requested to join a whole bunch of local FB groups. wish me luck !!

 

Thanks :)

How much are you looking to buy a broken DS Lite for? I have one I want to get rid of and another I might part with. I am not looking for alot for it.

Top screen is always white

The sound works fine

A new stylus

Complete boxes and manuals

No charger

Right hinge is broken off

The triggers are not always responsive.

I just messaged you, thanks.
