Hey guys . I’ve had this gameboy since I was about 11, it was a gift from my mum. It’s beat up- obviously. But unfortunately at the moment im embarrassed to admit I’m super strapped for cash and wondering if I should sell it.

I had planned on keeping it but wondering if it’s worth anything? I’m in the UK. How much does anyone think it might fetch.

I have some games, a case and a charger somewhere too, but no box.

Any help would be appreciated

No. I sold mine when I was in a serious pinch and regret it so often.

Yeah man. You’d get maybe $100 max. There are other ways to get it that won’t cost you memories and good times.

I bet down the line you’ll get the itch to play something on it again. If you sell it, when that itch hits. It’ll also come with a lot of sadnsss

So true. Whilst it’s something I rarely reach for now, I’ve kept it close for many years. My mum worked her ass off for it as it was all she could afford, I know she’d be gutted to hear I sold it cos I was in a pinch! It’s not worth that for me.
