Well I got another DS Lite today. This one to be exact: http://westky.craigslist.org/ele/1257507966.html
(It's not the town where I live. So no finding out where nightwheel lives today folks :cool: )

It's a White DS Lite. I didn't pay $20 for though. Traded Super Mario Sluggers for it. I got the game for $5 from a yard sale. And really didn't care for it. So his son got a (sorta) new Wii game and I got the DS. So basically this DS cost me $5. And it was cool to see the guy's son have the smile on his face about his new Wii game.

Anways........ this DS has issues too. More than my other DS Lite. It's got a broken right hinge. Non working R shoulder button button. The Touchscreen has some problems. And the hinge was super glued in the open position. From what I could gather from the guy. It sounds like his son dropped the DS more than once. The shoulder button stopped working before the hinge broke. But at least this DS can charge batteries unlike my other one. So for now, it my battery charger.

I removed most of the glue already. So I could close the lid and keep from breaking the hinge any more that it was when I got it. And I have it taped shut to keep it from opening back up for now.

Still, not bad for basically $5
I will give you $6. :P
No :P

found Tekken 3 at a thrift store for $3 and bought it because the title on the manual was a shiny gold color and it looked expensive but it wasn't. Maybe I can get $4 for it :)

I just went to a garage sale down the road. I bought a computer tower for $8 and got out of it a ton of IDE cable, a floppy drive, a video card that I de-soldered the vga-f port from, and basically everything else you'd find in a computer from 2001. Pics?
