Still a Game Boy?

Post by xAtomik »

Hey guys, so my GBA SP is in pretty rough condition and I was thinking of getting a new shell for it. I was wondering if it would kinda kill the value of the Game Boy or does it not matter?

Thanks

As long as the damage is only cosmetic, that shouldn't really matter. If the screen were damaged or something then that would reduce the value.

Giving it a new shell won't hurt the value one bit as long as you use an actual GBA SP shell, and not some third party thing. No one would be able to tell you had done anything, sort of like swapping a PS1 jewel case with one from a music CD.

Do you know where a good place to get one would be? I've seen some that come with fake serial number stickers and everything.

Thanks

Your best bet would be to buy a broken or "as is" one in good cosmetic shape and then gut it for the case.
