We asked that question in Game before we went and was told they would work, but for some reason you can't take them back into game for them to sell as second hand.

Not a problem. We have US and UK DS's and Games and they all play on each other without any problems.

if you have a chips store near you they might take them as I know my local one does, and with the american charger, we do not have a problem using ours here as we plug it in to our shaver socket in the bathroom also you can pick one up for £4.99 in game and they fit all ds are multi- region and will play any game from any country,

we bought several but now DS has got rid of his we're taking them back with us this year to trade in against PS3 games as the stores in Florida Mall which used to be Electronic Boutique - cant remember their new name - will take trade items.
