Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Internet access
  • Computer
  1. Step 1

    Do your research so that you will be armed with some information. Borrow some gaming magazines from your local library. Visit some Web sites that can help you with your decision. You need to know a bit about the product before you buy it.

  2. Step 2

    Determine whether you will buy new or used. Each option has its pros and cons. If you are looking for a more inexpensive way to get the same product, you might want to buy used. But if price isn't a pressing issue or if you really want a warranty, buy a new system.

  3. Step 3

    Decide where you are going to buy your Nintendo DS. Shopping online may be more convenient, but go to your local stores and browse their selections if you are the type of person who needs to touch and feel things before making a purchase.

  4. Step 4

    Check the Web for prices. Even if you are going to buy locally, you can make use of the Internet to see what the price should be for the system. You don't want to get ripped off.

  5. Step 5

    Visit eBay, the premier site for buying all things used. Use the search engine to look for "Nintendo DS" and you will find lots of items.

  6. Step 6

    Pay for your Nintendo DS online. Using PayPal is the best way to pay on eBay, but you can also use a check or money order. Most online retailers also accept credit cards.

  7. Step 7

    Wait for your product to be delivered. If you bought it online, it could take some time to arrive depending on how it was shipped. If the system arrives damaged or doesn't work, contact the seller or retailer.

Tips & Warnings
  • When buying online, choose a retailer with a good reputation.
  • Save all receipts, warranties and online confirmations.
  • Don't give your credit card information to any individual. Feel safe paying by credit card at Web sites like Nintendo or PayPal, but never give the number directly to an individual.
