Jewtoys Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 I don't know a thing about this kinda stuff, but I have two unopened game boys from 1989. Still in the plastic wrapper. One is mint, the other has a small tear in the plastic. A quick eBay search, shows values all over the place, with conditions different than mine. What can I realistically sell this for? I have zero use for this junk http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1212/4798801/9950206/412709415.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had a lot of these, could have taken them all but only took these two. Looks about $510 :thumbup: KillJoy Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love hearing cool "finds" like this Yep, decent amount of stuff that has value. She just went into an assisted home, and was giving whatever away, the leftover to a garage sale so the place could be cleared to sell. I don't like taking things for free, these were basically pushed upon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Dude, place was probably a gold mine. Could be a gold mine, could be just old people buying crap. When my grandmother passed I can't tell you how many unopened "Vanna White" dolls we gave away. Ol' Girl loved the home shopping network. Still, unopened game boys are kind of odd for an old person to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, unopened game boys are kind of odd for an old person to have. I found it odd as well. We think they bought them as gifts, and just forgot to give them away? Her grandmother doesn't remember, as she didn't even know they were in the house. She had a few unopened nitendo consoles as well, and an unopened Atari jaguar game console. Super strange as they didn't even own a computer. Most likely all gifts, that were forgotten about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Own a few property's, including some beach property's, but lived in a modest home paid off since they were married 60+ years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewtoys Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 I let them go for $600. Asked the place I sold them to, what he will resell for. The mint one he said will be sent out to be graded, and resold for $1,200 and the one with the slight plastic tear, $400-500. He said it will take awhile to sell though, and is more interested in using it to promote his store... Good for him, I don't need the money and it was 100% free. My GF is a teacher, and they have to pay for certain supplies out of pocket. Going to just give it to her. Thanks for the input humans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
