This page indexes what sellers are currently asking for a used Nintendo 3DS handheld console — not what one sold for, not a store price, and not a trade-in quote. The figures come from active listings DealHunter collects across eBay, Mercari, OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Depop, Poshmark, and Vinted. Supply is deep right now, and the large majority of active listings were posted in the last 7 days, so the index reflects a current and active market.

The asking-price spread is very wide. The cheapest and most expensive listings are far apart, which reflects the range of configurations in the wild — original 3DS, 3DS XL, New 3DS, New 3DS XL, limited editions, Japanese imports, and bundle conditions all land at different price points. That said, the average and median sit close together, meaning the pool is roughly symmetric: the extremes at both ends are real but neither dominates. A meaningful share of sellers have already dropped their price, which gives you some room to negotiate or wait.

A moderate number of genuinely distinct configurations are represented in the pool. Listings are concentrated in the middle bands of the distribution, with smaller shares at the cheapest and dearest ends. Whether you want a bare-bones unit to hack or a mint complete-in-box collector piece, the spread here captures both — but you need to read each listing carefully, because condition, region, and included accessories move the asking price significantly.

We scan all 8 marketplaces around the clock and ping you when a used Nintendo 3DS is posted under your price — before other buyers see it.

Buying a used Nintendo 3DS — quick answers

How much does a used Nintendo 3DS cost right now?+
The median asking price updates daily and is shown at the top of this page. The spread is very wide, so the number you see is a midpoint across a large and varied pool — condition, model variant (original, XL, New 3DS, New 3DS XL), region, and what's included all push listings toward the cheaper or more expensive end. Use the distribution chart below the hero figure to get a sense of where most listings actually land.
Is this a sold price or an asking price?+
It's an asking price — what sellers are currently listing a used Nintendo 3DS for, not what one has actually sold for. Sold prices are typically lower, since asking prices reflect the seller's opening position. If you want to know what buyers have paid, eBay's completed-listings filter is the most practical source for that data, but it's outside what DealHunter indexes.
How do I get notified when a Nintendo 3DS drops below my target price?+
Set an alert on this page with the price you're willing to pay. DealHunter watches all 8 marketplaces for listings under your target and tells you when one appears. You choose the number; DealHunter does the watching. That's useful here because supply is active and prices do move — a meaningful share of current listings have already seen a price drop.
Which marketplaces does DealHunter watch?+
DealHunter watches 8 marketplaces: eBay, Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Mercari, Poshmark, Craigslist, Depop, and Vinted. For the Nintendo 3DS, eBay and Mercari account for most of the indexed supply, but alerts run across all 8, so you won't miss a deal posted on a thinner platform.
What listings are excluded from this index?+
The matcher drops listings for broken, damaged, or not-working units, parts-only and repair listings, and bare accessories like charger-only, screen-only, battery-only, or stylus-only posts. It also excludes empty boxes, shell or housing listings, and unrelated products sometimes bundled under the 3DS search term — including 2DS, DS Lite, DSi, Game Boy, Switch, and amiibo. Listings below a minimum price floor are also removed. This keeps the median tied to working consoles.
Does the index cover Japanese import and limited-edition models?+
Yes — the matcher does not filter by region or edition, so Japanese imports, limited-edition variants, and New 3DS models all appear in the pool alongside standard North American units. This contributes to the wide spread. If you're shopping for a specific variant, use the distribution chart and filter by condition and model in your alert to avoid chasing a median that may not reflect what you actually want.
