You'll probably get an original 3DS cheapish eventually, but the New 3DS models are gonna hold their prices and probably go up I imagine. The most advanced way to play the whole library on a system with the intended form factor, a lot of reason to not sell and a lot of reason to buy one as your primary DS device for the future. I got a new 3DS XL in 2018 for about $60 and I've hardly ever seen them come close to that price since. Pretty sure they've gone up in price since then if anything. DSi XL seems relatively underpriced at the moment too considering it's the only device with the original DS resolution that offers a pair of screens within the size range people expect as bare minimum now. Once you focus on how the resolution is off playing DS games on 3DS it can get pretty annoying (you can play native res with a ton of dead screen space too, mind). Wildly easy to hack too. DSi in particular can be a great gift now for how cheap they go with all the rooted stuff.
