DS Plastics Bonanza!

I'm quitting the DS repair business and have a surplus of plastics available (both good and bad).

The following link contains a directory of photos of various parts:

THE LINK

It's going to take too much time to price everything, so the idea is you look through the pics and if you see something you like make a post here (state the filename) and i'll give you a price, more info or pics. Bear in mind some pics are of the same part taken at different angles.

Just to give an idea of prices, I'd be looking for £1 for an intact piece of top shell and maybe £2 for the white button set (for instance). Posting shouldn't be too outrageous. I'd say around £1 for recorded within UK.

UK buyers preferred, but can cater for most parts of the world, let me know where you're based and I'll add the postage cost.  Payment by paypal and your account must be verified and address confimed.

Here are two items which I predict will be popular, so I'll post them now:

White Shock! case for ds lite - SOLD!

You get everything pictured except for the buttons. Comes with box. Note that this is not the Nintendo OEM.



Shock! clear button set - SOLD!

Everything pictured


Hi

I wish I'd known about you bussiness before you quit it. I have a broken dsphat and just missed a chance to fix it :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

oh, it wasn't that type of business.

I basically bought damaged units off ebay, repair them and resell rather than service based :)

I have a few questions,  I am trying to start a repair thing like you were doing, I already have 8 ds lites, why are you not doing it anymore?  I can get the ds its for under $50 and they are very easy to fix most the times.  I need a few parts though.
How much would it cost for this screen

and this screen

and are there any scratches on them and do they work fine?

Also what is damaged with these buttons and how much would they cost?

I am also thinking of buying the other buttons you posted above.

There are a number of reasons. 1) I am getting bored of it. 2) Since Christmas, DS Lites are coming back into stock on the high street, thus you'd resell for less. 3) Factoring in ebay and paypal feed, profits can marginal (i wasn't doing soley for the money anyway but wanted to break even). If you can get a semi working unit for $50, that is very good (well, it depends how much you can sell it for) because $50 would get you a completely dead unit on ebay UK. The highest one I sold went for £95 (repaired for ~£50).

They're both dead, one looked like it had been crushed by a car and the other has liquid damage. I intended to sell the speakers but thought people may want the screen too. £1 for each with speakers. I can also desolder the speakers to save postage.

Only the blue ones are damaged (one has deep scratching). The clear buttons are perfect. each set is £0.50, 1 set = [1x volume slider + 1x power slider] OR [1x L button + 1x R button]
