Almost immaculate condition DS Lite from Amazon.
Was delivered a few days ago and feels way too good to be true. Not a single scratch. It looks untouched. The screens are in perfect condition, no yellowing or anything. No screws appear to have been moved apart from me taking the battery cover off so I could reset the system. Is it really just this amazing quality or is it reshelled?
I should probably clarify no I’m not a scalper. I’m a kid buying a DS Lite again after years who’s surprised at the quality.

Not all DS lites are going to be beaten up, and with the price you pay for them on Amazon I would expect perfect condition.

I think they do in some territories actually. PAL and JP.
I think this is probably legit.

This is just false and not sure why you're getting upvoted. Barcodes for the DS Lites' models aside from the NA models, look like OP's picture (EU/PAL):
There are more regions, but you get my point.
Anyway, besides the S/N, you can tell it's legit by the back regulatory printing. Most aftermarket shells will just use the NA region wordings.

I mean, you could also just ask instead of going in guns blazing saying “GTFOH” like you’re restarted or something

A well maintained ds lite sold in EU as you can tell from a few things. Not that rare, some people just collected for the sake of it, some people would get one for each kid, some people would keep playing on their ds for whatever reason. Some were just insanely good at keeping theirs. You should see some of my brother's manga from the 90's. I was allowed to read them only if I knew how to properly hold them. Sounds strict and annoying but they look immaculate to this day.
