I collect GameBoy stuff on and off and I’ve noticed prices for the original consoles and games getting expensive. An unboxed manchester united gameboy sold for £36! Up until recently you couldn’t give them away! Good news for me though I have a boxed unused one!

Thrilled to see my auctions getting noticed here! This is only a fraction of my GB stuff (but admittedly the most valuable). The opened CIB games will be hitting next week and I’m sure you guys will have more to talk about then as well

I’m actually thrilled to see that boxed/sealed Game Boy Collectors are coming out of the woodwork. Here’s hoping they stop by TheCoverProject.net and help finish up the Game Boy/Game Boy Color projects.

GB has always been brutal on a per piece basis. With the retention in value imparted by backwards compability, GB was always for the insane. Combine that with little info to guide you, one of the hardest systems for boxes and manuals and sheer volume and you have a recipe for one tough system. I don’t see it taking off anytime soon. Rare for the GB is so obscured that the only titles to garner value will be the popular ones.

Haha, I actually beat you to these auctions today! The thing I loved about GameBoy collecting up until recently was how cheap it was. I say recently becuase I’ve just witnessed a sealed PAL “Wave Race” for the GameBoy go for £52! Wow!

It’s so hard to tell; obviously the popular franchises will bring in good money, but I can’t really see a large amount of people going after complete sets. That’s obviously just my opinion and I have seen stranger things happen…this is probably the hardest Nintendo library to hunt down and I just feel the casual collector would become far too frustrated before they got anywhere near a complete collection.
