Have you ever bought a system more than once?

I had the pins break on my N64 so I bought a 2nd console for that used. It was like $20 and came with another controller.

I also had gotten a GBC once or twice because I had sold my SP in preparation for the DS coming out. Not at the same time though.

I recently gave my fiance my old gamecube, but my sister had also played occasionally, so I may end up getting her a refurbished Gamecube for $30 if she wants it. As it is, she's playing on the Wii more often, so it's unlikely to come up.

I also used to have the big PS2, and I basically traded it to the president of my avg club for a PS2 slim model that belonged to the president of the club. She then "sold" the PS2 to the club and used the funds to buy herself one of the silver PS2 slims. So I don't know if that counts as buying a 2nd model, but it's far more convenient for me having the slim model. It was kinda cheating, but my PS2 works just as well as any other PS2 and theres' no point in getting the cluba  shiney PS2 that's easier and more likely to be stolen.

Oh, right, I almost forgot, I ended up trading in my DS for a DS lite as well, since they had an offer for tradeins. I got the black DS lite. The larger stylus was what actually made all the difference to me. I know I could have just gotten a big pen sized stylus, but I prefer not having to keep track of a seperate stylus

I'm considering getting the more recent NES model, but what I may do is simply wait for all the games I have to be released on VC on just sell the console entirely.
