I'm sorry for being part of the problem.
That makes for two Vita TVs (one that was my very first Vita when I finally started to get steady work as a baby freelancer, another that was $20 when those were on a fire sale) and two proper handhelds, this new one being my first actual OG OLED unit. I bought it partly just to see how well that screen does stack up against the regular LCD I'm more familiar with (there is definitely a difference, but it's obviously less pronounced than what you can get today), and also to finally have a unit I can just throw my Japanese PSN account onto to make some store purchases without having to futz with the clumsy account switching shenanigans.
Took a little doing to get my existing data and game dumps properly transferred between Vitas, but by god, I got it all to work and now I'm back in business. 😌
Anyway, Hard Off and the Japanese used game market in general continue to be a godsend for these sorts of purchases. Didn't come with the cable (and I had no idea the original model used a proprietary connector on the Vita end instead of standard USB-B like the 2000—why???), but found it in immaculate condition for all of $75. It's frankly bizarre to me that this model continues to command such a premium on western sites when there's no functional difference between international and Japanese units whatsoever, but I'll take it. Anything to avoid the hustle of western game collecting these days.
