You'll likely get your money back and not need to even return the cart. Selling reproductions without clearly stating that they are such is a huge violation of eBay terms of service and in many cases copyright law.
They are from rose colored gaming's etsy page. About 3 bucks apiece...fuckers don't ship to Canada though, so I had to jump through hoops to get them.
Are you looking to sell? It's certainly a rare box and manual. Looks like it's missing the poster, so that lowers the value a bit. But it's definitely worth a fair amount of money.So I was looking through my old Gameboy collection and started searching more information on values etc. And I came across this one....Tail Gator complete in box.
I would have never guessed this game was rare. I've been the only owner and had it since my childhood.
Interestingly according to Videogame Price Charts it doesnt seem like a complete version has been sold on Ebay since 2013 when three sold from between 150-200 dollars. Loose copies seem to pop up regularly and sell for around 30-40 dollars.
Just wondering if you guys could help me on some sort of value, am I sitting on a bit of a goldmine here?
Box corners have dings, but generally it is in really nice shape. Fired up the game on my color and it works perfectly.
according to Nintendo it should last several years (or at least 500 charges) until it starts to deplete.
It sounds like dead pixels. It was common for OG Gameboys to develop rows of dead pixels. I think you can fix it but probably not worth the trouble.
It's honestly more of a hassle to not solder than it is. You can get batteries with the solder tabs already attached and if you just tape it any loss of power will cost you your save immediately.
It's like prepping the tips so to speak. He just puts a little solder on each side to "prep" it for the final solder. At least that's what I've always thought it was.
Also, I picked up something kind of cool from a member in the BST thread. A dev cart containing Astro Boy: Omega Factor.
A little pricey, but it's one of my favorite games for the Advance, so I'm excited to have it. It was a review copy, so there doesn't appear to be anything different about it, but it's still neat to have.
it should show the discounted price at the bottom of the "cart" page. It should be there before you checkout.
I haven't. I was wondering myself before and almost didn't buy anything but...the deal was too good. As long as they're not repos and still work I'm okay with whatever I get. If they're in good shape then it's a welcome bonus.
Yeah, for $5 a game, I don't really care what the condition is as long as they work. How do you guys store your games? I got mine out of a box in my closet last month when I got a backlit GBA and I've been keeping them in Ziploc bag. I don't want to have a bag lying around with my games in there and was looking for a better solution.
