Looks nice but at $5 a pop I'd be well over $1K if I did my NES-GBA games. lolQuick update on my case project:

Nice collection, missing some Fire Emblem though!Took some pictures for a Twitter thread & thought I'd post my collection here. Almost all are complete with box & instructions.
I never liked the original GB, and only started borrowing and buying games for it when the Super Game Boy came out. The lack of a backlight sucked and I had plug in lights and desk lamp to use the GBC and original GBA, but I loved the GBA SP.
The games themselves were often excellent & I bought another 20 GB/GBC/GBA games on the 3DS Eshop I didn't own physically.
Lovely collection, you have there. I also have the same colour GBA, with a 101 backlight installed. My main gripe about this GBA is that I find it difficult to play the two GBA Street Fighters on it due to the tiny D-pad. So glad the GBA SP got a much better one.Took some pictures for a Twitter thread & thought I'd post my collection here. Almost all are complete with box & instructions.

Wonderful collection. I should really look into backlighting my GBA(I have the same one as you). I just would rather do it myself. The other issue is my collection is much smaller so I feel it's not worth the money and I should just put it towards a GBA player so I can play on my TV instead.Took some pictures for a Twitter thread & thought I'd post my collection here.

So I think my GBA collection is up next on the chopping block. Would it be kosher to offer them to you folks first or should I just stick to the B/S/T thread?
I want to see what's available also!!So I think my GBA collection is up next on the chopping block. Would it be kosher to offer them to you folks first or should I just stick to the B/S/T thread?
Just went through and snapped pictures of everything. I'll post an IMGUR gallery soon. I don't really know how to handle this...what happens if multiple folks ask for the same games, is it just first come first serve?
Here's a few fun photos in the meantime.
Too expensive for my taste, for the games I'm missing, but best wishes for selling them. I hope they go to a good home. The buyer will no doubt get hours of fun from these.
Hey ladies and gents, apologies for the delay in response in regards to selling my collection earlier in the week. Figured I'd post them here before posting them in the B/S/T thread and then onto eBay. Here's the full details:
Please note the the copy of Super Mario Bros. displayed on the GBA SP is for display only and not included.
I have a total of 24 GBA games to sell plus a "Classic NES" Game Boy Advance SP. All but six of the games include the packaging manuals, and other inserts. The only thing that has been lost to time are the little clear plastic baggies that the carts would have shipped in, which stinks because I made a assurances to put those in a safe place.
Though they're not shown in the majority of the pictures all of the boxes include the white "insert" that holds the cartridge and gives the box some form. I'd prefer to ship these with the boxes flattened as shown in the photographs so there's less chance of them getting damaged in shipment, but if you'd like me to reassemble them, I sure can.
All of the boxes are in great shape with the exception of "Capcom Classics Collection" which I actually bought new from a K-Mart in the late 2000s and was fairly wanged at the time of purchase.
The Game Boy Advance SP is practically like new and has only seen less than five hours of use. Back in 2004 when I bought one of these to use I loved it so much that I bought a spare as a backup and collectible. While the first unit has long since been sold (shortly after I bought a Nintendo DS) I still had the spare. After deciding to sell it, I recently broke the seal to make sure it still functions and that the batter hasn't leaked. Everything seems to be in working order and as far as I can tell the system holds a full charge.
The following prices don't include shipping, though I'm I'll likely cut a you a deal of sorts, especially if you're buying a few. I'm open to reasonable offers as well.
The saddest thing to mention is that Drill Dozer's rumble motor appears to have gone out. Whether this can be fixed or replaced I'm not certain.
I have some ResetERA feedback on the official list, and you're welcome to view my eBay feedback as well. Thanks.

What kind of condition are those loose carts in? I'm interested in the Donkey Kongs and Mario Advance 4.
Eh, I'm just a bit hard to please when it comes to the cosmetic and working condition of games. $30 for those three games isn't bad, but I'd have to see them first. I don't suppose you could PM me some pics?All seem to be holding saves without problem. Just average wear, scratches and whatnot. Anything specific you're inquiring about?

What do Game Boy Player Enhanced games actually do with the Game Boy Player in practice?
Playing through Mother 3 (!) and noticed the screen pop up before the title screen.
Now I'm wondering if it actually means anything or if it's just some marketing phrase...?
I'd also be interested in Japanese game box protectors. I only own two CIB JP GB games (Picross 1 and 2) but I'd rather them have protectors the right size.Has anybody found japanese gameboy games PET case protectors? I know there is one guy on EBAY selling them but he shipping is kinda crazy from the UK to the US. Retroprotection only offers japanese GBA protectors and I've asked about the other sizes and he told me he wont be making them.
I'd recommend these over the BitBox, but that's my personal preference.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to organize my games better and I wanted to get some of those customs cases for my gb/gbc/gba games. I would print the artwork myself. I was looking for something like this.
Does anyone do this or can they recommend a good case for me to use?
Thanks, last I checked they didn't have them.
