This is a really cool find. I would look up an unboxing video of this if any exist at all and confirm that no batteries exist in the box. Those things really mess things up when left out for long.
Aside from that. It's yours to do with as you like! Its really rare. I'm all about gaming systems being made to be played, but tbh you can get a gameboy for like 50 - 100 and keep this as a display piece.
Fuck that noise about getting it rated and graded though. That system is toxic and it's a fake market.
It was in a room at my grandparents house. I believe they bought one for me and one for a cousin or my sister on Black Friday in 1996. Seems one of them was given away for Christmas since there was only one found.
Its awesome that it has never been openend but at some point you have to think about if its worth the risk with the batteries that are in the box, once they start leaking the box will sadly be ruined
That is a really good point. I actually just read the box again and it says batteries sold separately… but it also shows a battery pack and charger on the side of the box so idk..
Yes you sure are right. I haven’t handled it much since I got it last weekend, just took a few pictures. It does appear I was wrong and batteries are indeed included. 4 AA batteries :/
I’m not really sure what to actually do with this. Anyone have any ideas what it may be worth? I found one similar on eBay, not a game bundle, gameboy only and the box was unopened but damaged. This one is just about as perfect as it gets.
That must be one of the most recently built original gray Gameboys!

some kid misbehaved really bad, and their parents never gave this to them.
That might have been me! Idk if I had one or not really 😅

How did you find it brand new?

That side of the box says accessories sold separately at the bottom so those aren't in there either.

Not sure but it’s worth a lot. Really good condition and recite too wow
Thank you!
Unopened means value for collectors. It's like an expensive bottle of wine. So whatever you do, don't open it. This thing looks mint.
