I've only owned one and it was second hand, never any problems! But then again I didn't buy through eb
I've had an xbox from them, first one died, second one worked perfectly, free replacement all comes with warranty so if it does die your covered

All depends who used it... If it were my son I would say no.. he bashes the touch screen with the stylus and drops his DS. (he has a wrist strap now). If it were mine you would think it was brand new anyway so it would be worth it.

Just inspect it thoroughly and ask for a warranty. The DS is quite durable and I've dropped mine a few times and it still works perfectly.

only problem would be that the battery pack has what? "1000" or something recharges.. depends how much they used it.. so like guyver stated ask for warranty.

Ebgames has i 1 year warrenty on a Nintendo ds used. If it's stuffed return it back and no worries they will give you a new one. Also ask for a extended warrenty as it may die out within a year. Lol if you get a used ds from ebgames and it stuffs up they'll give you a newone for a replacment lol. I have done that before with my GBA in 2003.
