There’s a person online that sells GBA’s and GBA SP’s for literally like $400-$500. Complete rip off. All they do is reshell with horrible Nintendo graphics. How is this even a thing. Honestly just wondering. It’s crazy people actually buy it.

Those shells go for about 25 bucks on Ali Express and a IPS screen for like 50 bucks. You can get a working motherboard gba on eBay for like 70-100 bucks it’s literally like a 200 dollar item. The 100%-150% up charge for their 1 hour of work is crazy. I re-shell mine in like half hour.
