Need a little help concerning a GBC

Postby The Shadow Dragon » Sat May 08, 2010 7:02 am

Okay, so I found this at a Garage Sale around here:
GBC.png


I have 2 things I want to know. First, is there somewhere I can look up how much it is worth? I looked on Amazon and eBay, and the lowest price I found on either of them was $30 (I paid $10 for it), but I would like to have another opinion. The second thing I want to know, how do I clean it? There is a little dirt on the front. It is not that bad, but I would love to know how to clean it off. I would love any advice I can get about storing, cleaning, or gauging the value of this Game Boy.

Foam screen cleaner, a microfibre cloth and patience. It is worth approx $20 but in enough years this model might be worth more than the normal versions.

Thanks for the tip, I'm kind of new to the whole collecting thing.

If you don't have the original box it is almost worthless. Here in Holland you can buy these Gameboy Colors (without box) for $4,- - 7,50. For example a Gameboy Micro (even unboxed) is good for $20 here!
But collecting them is fun!!! ;)
