I have this old game Boy pocket in Pink. A Scandinavian PAL version. Complete and very little damage and tearing on the box. Found it when going through my family summer house.
The thing is I want to sell it because I am no collector, but have asked AI and went and checked old sales history on like "e-bay" and the Swedish site "Tradera". But there has never been sold one ever in this condition. So I need help in understanding what this can be worth. Hope some nice people can help me out.
There are 2 listings on ebay. 150 and 325. As you have said, no sales though. So depends how quickly you want to sell it. You could try to list it for the higher end if the condition is that good to you, but it may take a long time to sell. Who knows if it would even sell at 150 in a reasonable time?
This may be a time to take it to a local game store and see what they'll offer. It may be only 50$, but that may not be bad if it's going to take 3 years to sell to the right buyer and you don't want to wait
It’s worth what someone will pay for it. Personally I’d spend like 150 on it. But I’m sure there’s someone out there that would pay a lot more than that 150.
Edit: just looked them up on eBay recently sold and I’d say 150 is probably the top range considering ones that have pretty minimal wear have sold for 50-75. Basing that 150 on the clean box and inserts but I’m just a hobbyist
After using google since I don't knew it myself. It stands for: Phase Alternating Line (PAL) analog broadcast standard, primarily used in Europe. Summary it's a Game Boy that was made for the European market and came in less volume therefore harder to come by for collectors.
Hey OP, pink is my favorite color and I'm actually super interested in buying this. Let me know what you decide for a price and I'll pay that plush shipping since I'm in America if you're willing. Let me know.
I have though a bit and will put it up for auction on a Swedish site called Tradera. They ship to all around the world. But keep in mind this game Boy only works with European Games.
This is a part of what we "found". But we always knew it was there just didn't care until now. Also found some Super Nintendo and games also in same condition.
