OP
So I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to buy a Gameboy Color. I was browsing ebay and the prices were really gross. But then I saw this http://www.ebay.com/itm/262667355179
$30 after shipping, not awful. And it has a backlit screen? Wowie
Now lets get a few things out of the way: It's probably not a real system. It ships from Malaysia which is probably where its made. BUT if it plays the same as the real thing and looks as pictured, I don't really care at all. I'm doubting it actually has a backlit screen but whatever.
But then I look at the description... Is this a shell? It says its a console and says things like "Requires 2 AA Batteries" but then it says things like "Fully protect your Gameboy Color". But then I think why would a shell cost $30, especially from Malaysia. Shells go for like $5-10 tools included.
Guys, Im gonna bite the bullet and buy this. And then maybe with my sacrifice, we can all buy cheap(relative to how much they average for) new looking gameboys. Besides, if its not legit they have a return window so yay.
It's gonna take a few weeks to come in so I'll keep you guys posted. How about in the mean time you guys discuss sketchy ebay things you've bought or are looking at and/or if you think this one is legit.
Also I bought a bootleg Pokemon Blue but its $5 vs $40 and looks legit enough so Im happy http://www.ebay.com/itm/222313339628
