Okay, I have two questions.

Why is this so expensive?

How the hell do you play a game without a joystick?

I don't get it!
Very odd, to say the least. I wouldn't have bought it.

Maybe that's why they are trying to sell it!  No clue about how to use it!
And LOL TrekMD!

lol

I actually looked this up to see how it works. These were originally designed for people that were used to playing PC games on a keyboard, so instead of a stick you get four extra buttons for movement.

If anyone is looking for an Atari 5200, this looks like a pretty good deal as it is a boxed system with a boxed trak-ball controller and various games.  Check it out:  Atari 5200 Like New.

Okay, the price of retro games and systems has officially gotten crazy.

Check out this Sealed Gameboy on ebay. I really can't believe how much this is going for!

TrekMD

OMG, that's absurd!  And those are actual bids!!!!

You thought that was absurd, take a look at what it sold for. I just don't get it!

Lol yeah you're seeing right.

I'm guessing that the retailer registration card still attached is what drove the price up. Sealed Gameboys aren't common but they're not that rare. This one was basically not even sold.

TrekMD

I'm still in awe.  $3,261.00.  No, just no.  I wonder if whoever won will actually PAY.  You know the sale doesn't always get paid.

That's insane. And payment must be made over the phone?
QuotePayment for this auction MUST be made over the phone by Visa or Mastercard.  We will email the winning bidder the phone number to call and payment must be made within 2 business days - Thanks!

That doesn't sound shady..
Even for someone with 100% positive feedback (but only 223 ratings) that seems odd to me.
Anyway, f that, keep your Gameboy lmao. The system sucked and emulation costs roughly $3,261.00 less than that pos

I think that may go against the TOS for Ebay!  I had not even paid attention to that!  By the way, tell us how you really feel about the GameBoy, @Saturn.  LOL
