because i even wanted a ds in the first place right
I just choose not to, and won't go out of my way to buy something to prolong something that's only fun for one time
DS's are loads of fun, silly.
Most games are fun to play multiple times.
Or buy other games. If you've gotten a DS for free you've atleast saved some money there...
Do you not buy games for consoles or PC's because they're only fun once?
You can find multi-pack chargers (for 3DS, 3DSXL, DSi and DS) new for about £8.00, and I've seen it on eBay for about £5.00.
That's roughly $12.20 new to $7.60.
You'll find cheaper for your individual chargers (for whatever DS you have).
