Then buy it online or buy it second hand... it's not as if it's a disc based machine that you have to worry about for 2nd hand purchase.

Personally, I'm leery about buying any portable unit second hand; it has nothing to do with whether it uses optical media. Used optical media being scratched is about the only real issue there.

Any portable can easily be dropped, sat on, or damaged in a way that might not immediately keep it from working until it takes another knock, etc. 

A used DS could easily have a scratched or damaged screen due to the resistive type touch interface.

But the bigger issue has to do with the fact that any portable is also the controller. So unless you are in the habit of buying used controllers (which can be worn out), I wouldn't recommend used if you plan on using/playing it heavily for years.

Of course you can always buy a new replacement when the price drops and or features are added down the line.

yes my psp has fallen from a 5 meters high and only the battery got out from it and it was working perfect
