Buy his and sell both of them for 170. Thats 340 to spend on an XL and at least 3 games.

Well if all you would do is take advantage of him, then that sounds kind of mean. Unless you don't like him. Then it's fine.

This. friendship is worth more than a cheap 3ds. if he has no value in your life then fine.

If you care tell him its worth that and is he sure he wants to sell it at such discount.

When I said he's not a gamer, I should have said he's not a Nintendo gamer... He knows the price of the console, he just doesn't care.

By the way... Red or Blue 3DS XL?

How good of a friend is he? Why not just tell him to sell it for $170?

He got it at a christmas party and he's not a gamer... So he does not care.

He doesn't care about money o.O? I need more friends like this...

From the economical standpoint: Yes, you should do it. Buy it, sell it for 170$ and buy some games or trade your 3DS for an XL with the profit.

If you are unsure about it for whatever non-economical reason: Tell him that he can sell it for more than 100$.

If he insists that he doesn't care there are two possibilities:

a) If you still feel bad about it: Don't do it. You have an easy excuse, just tell him that you're not interested because you already have one.

b) Else: Do it.

Yeah, and then do as everyone else said and flip it. Make you some money.
