Japan only release, game boy, that $300 price is really $215-$270 based on recent sales. I don’t think anyone here would be buying to resell, so a really limited number of people working on complete GB set that don’t already have it. It was really nice of @JVOSS to donate an expensive item though. Kudos! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly balanced! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 5,115 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Considering is seems to sell around 265 shipped on ebay, this is a solid price cut. I'm even tempted, as the sticker on mine isn't totally white anymore. Some damage got to it where the two lower corners are tinged down to a point in the middle end of the sticker. I could swap it if I were that nitpicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
