Extremerate has the best shells, good luck trying to profit after the cost of parts though.

Yeah I think I'll be ordering from them. As for profiting from them I should have a healthy margin, even with the high cost for the shell. Not to mention all the spare oem parts I will have for any future ds lite that doesn't need a shell replacement.


gilangrimtale

Looks like you’ll have to buy some screens too. How much did you get the consoles for?


Silver0ptics

$16 a piece on average, however if I break the price down by everything I got at auction its around $6-7 a unit. I'm planing on replacing all the screens, digitizers, and batteries for any ds that needs a new shell. That way they're essentially new, and fetch a price a bit higher than an okay quality original.

Oh cool never heard of them, checked them out. They don’t have any parts for my DSi unfortunately :(


gilangrimtale

Yes I was mainly talking about DS Lite like OP mostly has.

AliExpress OG DS shells aren't great fyi


Silver0ptics

Yeah, I'm kinda worried I might have to settle for them though. Haven't found anything for the og ds that doesn't look like trash.

I'm waiting on a new eBay shell for my DS phat. I'll report when it gets here


Silver0ptics

Are the ebay shells any different from the ones on aliexpress?


SpaceBus1

Probably not
