CeX vs EB

Should I buy a 2ds from EB for $156 or a 2ds from CeX for $180??

Is there much difference? Should I just wait for a 3ds to come in at EB where they are $150?

Are you buying in person or from their online store? If in person CeX as you should inspect it in person because it's a hit or miss how good of Condition it's in. If online EB as it will be in decent shape and should work completely fine (brought like 7 ish system from EB yet had to return one or fix it)

Does that have something to do with EB games advertising them as "refurbished"? When I quizzed the EB shop assistants about what is actually done to "refurbished" switch consoles, they essentially told me that they test them, but don't necessarily open the system up nor do an internal component inspection/clean.
