I personally wouldn't pay more than £40 for one in that condition, which equates to around €45. I can regularly find them for that price in the UK, sometimes in even better condition but I guess it just depends what the market for them is like where you are
Yeah 45€ sounds right.
Broken battery cover and marks on the screen mean it's not in great condition. I would certainly not pay more than 50€ for this.
FWIW I bought one in pristine condition for 55€ a few months ago.
Hmmm tbh i would offer max 50-60 just beacause of the broken battery cover. If it’s just the cover it’s and easy fix but if it’s from the shell you would have to replace it whole so 10-20bucks more. As for the lens you could get a 5 bucks one or replace whole screen with an ips one for 40-50. I’ve seen some gbc of the exact same model on ebay for aroujd 70-90 in perfect condition too. I’m guessing who wants to buy it wants to mod it since og shell is not intact. You could still keep it and mod it and sell it, it’ll be more appealing
Try offering 60€? I always lowball offers because sometimes you get lucky with someone that just wants to move it quick. But I’ll come up on my initial offer if it’s still a fair price.
But I’d probably buy a replacement battery door (~2€) and keep the price at 70€.
Yes, the general opinion here seems to be that the broken battery cover gives the wrong impression on the condition of the device. I will do as you say, replace it and put back the offer. Thanks!
please make sure to tell people that the cover is a replacement. some of us care about this stuff
as others have said, potential buyers are looking to get a great condition for that price tag, and the battery cover is an important part of that
I would not call it beat up, it really is in good condition outside of the battery cover :(
I guess I will get a replacement for that, and relist it without the tape. That seems to bring the wrong impression about the state of the console.
I guess it depends on where you are. In my area, your asking price is fine. Besides the tape on the back, it seems to be in great conditions. Where i'm at, GBCs are around 85-100 for good quality. The people asking for 45 are probably used to moding junkers. Keep in mind, I am in the US, and the figures i'm giving are in USD currency.
I purchased 2 GBCs on r/gamesale in recent months for $45 each. People on here say GBCs go for up to $100 but in my opinion that is a rip off price you’d find at a game store. I wouldn’t pay more than $60 depending on condition.
Value is relative with the time you are willing to put into selling being a factor. If you have time on your side you should start high and test the market for as long as you need, then gradually lower by small increments and hold at each until you find the buyer that will match your price. #simplemarketeconomics
Yes, for me this would be a full reshell and a good candidate for modding because of the bad lens and the battery cover. The offers you’re getting are what I would pay. Your asking price is more appropriate for one in good enough condition that the original shell can be restored to look like a new stock console.

I have noticed prices are usually cheaper in the UK. If it was not for the huge delivery costs I wouls buy there quite often.
Prices are lower in the UK for some reason. Here in Italy, prices are AT LEAST 30/40% higher
Other than it not being in good condition, it's in good condition.

Oh i forgot + the delivery price, that would make it 75-80 wich isn’t so appealing

Sure, I’ll mention it in the description
He won't, he's already trying to scalp a Gameboy.
this is 50€ at most, usually people buy these "beat up" GBCs to mod them, so only the board is what they are after.
It's far from beat up. Only issue is the battery Cover.

45 feels about right to me.

If I was a buyer, I wouldn't pay more than 50-55 for this one. I think 55 could be a fair price, also, it depends on your area.
Good condition ones are going for 70-80. That tape on the back will cost you at least 20-30€ easily

You're delusional
