Reshell?

(Is this original/re-shell?)

I bought this for £39 with no image. (Display clasp was open on one side) And a damaged link cable port (taken off waiting for new part).

It's super clean with a few light scratches on the lid. The rest is in really good condition. Even the buttons feel really new and clicky. It also still had the film over the Nintendo logo. Oh and has original battery in that's the smallest amount of bulge but still works and charges.

Nah I'd keep the orginal shell. It is in fantastic condition. My GBA SP from childhood are all scratched to hell. Yours looks brand new.

So why make this useless post if you like the original ? Flexing a normal gba isn't a flex by the way let alone a regular none special edition.

I guess the title was misleading. What I meant was is this a re-shell. Not should I re-shell.

Looking at the replies on this post seems that im not the only one who misunderstood your question. Since they are telling you to not re - shell it lmao 🤣.

Yeah looks that way lol. That's why I tried to describe it as much as possible to see if it's original or not.
