Those 2 G&W Panoramics will fetch way more than a GBC. It's going to take an absolute age to test those suckers. You should probably throw an ad up on here and sell some through this site, save yourself some eBay fees.
wow, that was an amazing finding there! Both for the controllers and the GBCs. Are they in working condition? Some I see have some scratches, however that shouldn't be a problem if you ever decide to restore their cosmetic condition. May I ask how much how did you paid for the lot? It it that for less than 300 it would be a steal!
I bought the lot for 400, I tested them all and almost half of them got some sound issues, other than that they work. Still a pretty good deal imo. What would be a fair price for a fully functional one?
400 is still a fair price. Now as about their selling price, it ranges from 15 to 30, depending the condition and the functionality. If those pokemon ones are in working good condition, they usually go for something like 35-40$
I'm probably going to sell some locally, and after that I'll put the rest of them in a big lot on ebay.
The speaker issue is very common, I'd be prepared to bet that all the ones with no sound work fine with headphones / external speakers. Not really worth fixing TBH, the effort involved is totally out of proportion with the possible increase in return. Also just disassembling a GBC can futz up the screen.
I would love to receive a call like that, but instead of Gameboys, I would like them to be Neo-Geo systems !
I still need to get a red gbc and yellow gbc to finish my small collection of the 5 basic colors sometime.
Thanks guys! I already made a wallpaper out of picture #2 : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49828537/Gameboy Haul/wallpaperbw.png and https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49828537/Gameboy Haul/wallpapercollor.png
I keep hoping I find one in an alley, hasn't happened yet. That's a nice find, especially if most of them have the battery covers (which are oddly not easy to find with the system).
Thousands*. Even though there are only a few hundred gameboys, the covers that shouldn't even be there will have found a way to go missing. Those suckers are impossible to keep a hold of.
