My first one was bought new, for $30 CDN when Toys "R" Us was clearing them out; it has since begun to display symptoms of bad display connections. I'd fix it, but one of the screw heads is stripped; so now I either have to break, saw, or drill the thing, and I'm in no rush to do any of that. My second one was purchased last year over craigslist, and turned out to be a former rental unit. The eyeshade stunk (so I washed it), the display connections were bad (so I repaired them), and the stand was broken (someone had taped it together, so I left it), but it works great now. The third one was acquired via craigslist as well, but from its original owner. It's in great condition and is showing no signs of bad display connections.
So I'm keeping the first one for sentimental value, as well as the battery pack that came with it and the AC adapter I bought later (which I'll use with the third one). I'm keeping the rental shop's custom travel case from the second one, and possibly the AC adapter that came with it, but I may give the unit (along with a second copy of Mario's Tennis that I have) to a friend.
