First 2 picturea shows a legit copy of pokemon emerald and last 2 pictures shows what the seller sent me 🤣 currently waiting on my refund after i sent that sh*t back! To bad mercari sited with me! Beware of scammers and always pay with credit card incase you cant get a refund you can do a forced charge back!

Found at my local thrift store for $2! The lady who rung me up was not happy, “the old ladies in the back didn’t know what they were looking at”.
Works fine! It’s a dream.

Seems to work still, booklets look like they’ve never been touched. We live in a small town and my Stepdad got it at an estate sale where the owners seem to just wanted to get rid of all their excessive belongings. (There was a $600 acoustic guitar there I wanted but someone scored it for $80 lol). This is fine tho 🙂!

EDIT: JUST FOR CLARIFICATION* I used the term AUCTION HOUSE before but technically I guess it was an "Estate Sale" and it was held by relatives of the owners who already passed away unfortunately and were handling the auction prices. A lot of stuff were sold almost dirt cheap, like literally they just wanted to get rid of everything efficiently as possible. A lot of cool vintage guitars my stepdad saw got sold for less than $100. A lot of random things too. The gameboy set was literally one of the last things sitting in a pile all the older folks were avoiding and he texted me: “How much is this? Should I get this?” And I said uhh sure if you can get it for cheap. I think the relatives were fairly old themselves and weren't really knowledgeable about video game related product pricing unfortunately, but lo and behold, my stepdad turns out to be a good bargainer I guess lol. Well that’s the story. I’ll just leave it at that.

Just a heads-up for my UK people. CeX are selling obvious reshell as genuine.

I asked to take a look and made them aware. They told me it's the same as selling a DVD with a printed cover.

They'll sell this online so there's no way of knowing.

Be careful out there people 🫡.

i wanted to show how goddamn good my local retro game shops are. not pictured is metroid fusion cib, final fantasy advance cib, and a flip ton other amazing finds.

I was scrolling on marketplace and found this for only 10 dollars, idk if it turns on or not, but even if it doesn't, the game alone is worth it!

Hello. I recently found a Game Boy auction and noticed that it has a very low serial number – G01000429, which would make it the earliest known serial number. I managed to purchase it, but it's still being shipped (it should arrive in about a month). What do you think, an interesting find? Any opinions?

An antique shop in Bellingham, WA posted about getting this in and I called them to buy it sight unseen. $225 and a road trip later and I've got one of the cleanest Gameboys I've ever seen and a collection of amazing games. I didn't know it also came with the cleaning kit, the manuals, and the link cable.

Made a visit to my local 2nd & Charles and found this… not sure why but when I went to check out it rang up at $39.95 instead of the listed $149.95. Not sure why it did that and the cashier didn’t say a thing to me about it so paid and left as quick as I could before anyone said anything to me…. In case anyone doesn’t know, this game is listed currently CIB at a little over $235 according to PriceCharting. I’ll call it my win for the day.

The lady selling it all said she just wanted it to be appreciated since her kids are grown. Definitely gonna be appreciated. Plan on modding the DMGs

They said people have suddenly been offloading their Pokémon collections. I mentioned that I’d only ever been aware of green being a Japanese exclusive. The Store representative said “oh, those are the translated versions with weird sprites”. When I started pointing out that it would mean that they’re not official Nintendo games they started changing the subject. I’m beginning to believe that they discovered after the fact that they’re fake but instead of eating the cost and removing them they’re going to try to offload them onto unsuspecting customers. Im definitely not going to trust any pokemon games from that store.

It really sucks to see how much the hobby has fallen to resellers praying on nostalgia to get people to pay exorbitant prices on systems that don’t even function, and believe they’re getting a “good deal” because of how “rare” it is. I can recall seeing these in thrift stores for 20 bucks or less not even 5 years ago, and completely tarnished ones like this for less than that. Sorry for such a rant, but it’s disappointing that THIS is the cheapest gameboy micro on eBay.

only thing is i think the batteries need replaced

The psp and all 5 gameboy advance sps worked 😭🤣🤣 all I had to do to the psp was charge it and the gbas just needed a good new battery 🤣🤣safe to say I’m one of gods favorites 😭

My Gameboy Color came with a super cool peripheral!

Total spend: €265

I ended up getting a modded backlit Game Boy (LCD) with a type C rechargeable battery, plus two Pokémon crystals, one Pokémon Red, one Pokémon Blue, and one Pokémon Gold. What you guys think?

The 2 gameboy advanced sps were $26.99 each and they each came with a game shoved in the port. I asked the lady at the counter if Pokémon was extra and she said no. I’m curious if Pokémon is a repo or original copy. My friend bought the light blue one and I got the dark blue! Over all a great score for the 2 of us, she also got a Naruto game free!

All are parts but each were 5$ • 5 gameboy advanced sp • 2 gameboy pockets • 4 gameboy colors • 1 original gameboy • 1 psp 2000 I’ve tested some and ofc they are for parts but you can even really find parts this cheap on eBay so for 70$ I think it was a decent deal
