What site/service are you buying from?
From Buyee!
I actually wrote an article about that process and what you can expect (and do to get the best deal, in my eyes) on Buyee
You can read it here if you're curious:

Nice article, thanks. I’ve never really been into handheld gaming, but reading that made me want to try it out. Buyee also sounds like a very handy service!
Wow, that's an amazing compliment, glad you liked the article and that it began to sway you to the (older) handheld scene :)
Thank you!!!
I read that! I couldn't find it again, didn't realise it was you :)
Thanks!
Oh that's excellent! I'm glad I could help!
wow it was already modded whwn you bought it? and i love thesilver/white design it looks still so futuristic, great article!
Thank you!
It was a surprise, since the listing had no indication it was jailbroken, but the fun thing was just how old that was!
You never really know what you'll get with 'junk' listings :)
