Where it came from, what we did to it

A Crystal White Nintendo DS Lite, Japanese version, complete in box with its manuals and inserts, OEM charger, stylus, and wrist strap. Fully tested and working: it reads both Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance cartridges, the screens are bright and responsive, and the buttons, audio, and hinge all function properly. The shell shows the yellowing this model is known for along with some cosmetic wear from normal use, the polarizer shows some yellowing, and the box has light wear. Since DS games are region-free, the Japanese model plays your library just fine.

Flaws we found

• ▲ Yellowing/discoloration on the shell (common for this model)
• ▲ Some cosmetic wear/marring from normal use
• ▲ Polarizer shows some yellowing
• ▲ Box has light wear

Each of these is photographed on the listing. The photos are the contract.
