Every time you post a video I end up with a new Gameboy. I'm thinking about putting a DS in a Gameboy Pocket shell because I really like the pocket and I'm pretty sure I can make it work.

It’s so funny: I did, too! Found a GB Light about a month ago at a game shop here in Osaka for ¥500. It was sold as-is & has some scuffs & scratches... but I did a bit of cleaning & everything works!! 🤗

Cool... But i need BRICK GAME LIGHT
Wow, 15 usd + shipping for a pretty minty Gameboy Light, that’s insane!
I just recently found my Toys R Us exclusive GBA. I’m trying to gather up the courage to modify a backlit screen on it. One day :).

There are fake ones that cost more than that real one so I’d say good deal either way
Normally ide be a little tilted that it was opened half way through the video but what you explained was actually really helpful and it’s always fun hearing what you have to say :) keep it up!
Oh my god that first part when the two Gameboys were in the bublewrap I though you'd made a bloody Longboy Light 😳
Can we have the prices in GBP please, we're part of the empire after all ;) Great score dude! Time to sign up on sendico!
Still waiting on the bubble wrap showcase....

Great find, mate. Keep the good content rolling.
Love finding deals like this
Wow! Nice find! I'll be taking that now.
People who are poor: *Cries in poor*
Wow, that Game Boy Light alone was worth at the very least 80 dollars. Excellent condition.
I'm Mexican, can confirm you can find a lot of retro gaming on flea market for cheap, online i haven't tried yet, there's a lot of locals that offers shippings but i kinda notice they rise the prices for the collectible value of the consoles is a different price ratio in comparison but there you can find some good deals...
Just how in the world did you managed to get this. I know YA and it's full of resellers for this kind of stuff who would bid the hell out of a listing like this one! Congratz man.
Just an obscure awesome channel, thx Elliot, for letting me know About Sendico, Now i Will start using this service
These auction bargains are what we all dream of, just gotta be there at the right time! Nice job Elliot.
Haha mate I'm from Mexico and even though gameboy prices haven't sky rocketed like in the western world there's no way you find a light that cheap. I was searching for a light for months in sendico and ended up getting one for like 35 dollars but it has some scratches. You found the bargain I was expecting. Congrats
I live in Japan and you can find tons of retro gaming stuff in very good to excellent condition. In big cities like Tokyo, there are TONS of video game stores that have a heavy focus on retro gaming clear back to the 70's and 80's in many cases. I've even seen SG-1000 cards and Atari games.
Last year when I was there I couldn't find any GameBoy Light and you got one for like nothing! I think I'll order a GBL this year too
There are quite a few GameBoy pockets for sale at my closest second hand/recycle shop, all for 500¥ and under. Last I checked there was a Gold Pocket and a Gold GBA, each about ~400¥. If you're interested..
There's another KZreadr, JapanGemu, who found one exactly like yours (gold color, I mean) on one of those used stuff stores in Japan, with box and paperwork for the same price as you, it only had corrosion from batteries left inside, but he cleaned it off and worked perfectly. By the way, I did not get that last part about Mexico... 🙄 😨 😔
Commenting for the al gore rythm. I'm not in the audience for this vid, but I'm glad you got a bargain. Always nice to see someone passionate about something. :)
Oh man I'm so jealous of that black gameboy color. Been looking for one of those forever.
actually, on US eBay there are a lot of sealed games and accessories shipping out of Mexico. most of the VB carts used as donors came from Mexico.
How! I never find anything this low in Sendico 😭

I just saw the video ( i know a bit late) but I have to say that you are wearing a BEAUTIFUL watch!
In Europe - Cyprus especially - The oldest thing I found was a gameboy dmg for like 10 or 15€ it was in an acceptable contrition with major scratches and some corrosion on the battery connector. I only cleaned the battery corossion just to see if it works and it does. I don't plan on fixing it more since I am happy with it. But I never found any other old stuff like that. I may need to use that Japanese site then to get my hands on some retro consoles
Been waiting for this vid
I'm going to Mexico in 2 weeks to get one

My thoughts on this video. Pure unbridled jealousy. Nice score! Keep the vids coming.
Cool video cant wait to own my own Gameboy collection
That's cool. A couple months ago I paid less than ¥300 for a fully functional Orange Spice GameCube.
Me: *sees a normal gbc for $50*Wait, that's illegal.
the fucking ending made me giggle
Hey Elliot, I remember you had a hat with the nintendo tech repair logo, the Mario with the screwdriver. Do you know where I can buy one like this ?
Gameboy light very nice although EL backlights last a very short amount of time before dimming but I bet you already knew that and can replace it!
I have the Yellow GB light! Sadly I’m actually really disappointed with the screen, I’m not sure if they’re all like this but the light feels kinda weak and the visibility isn’t great, a bit blurry and hard to see. It’s otherwise a really awesome system so I’m bummed D: still, the fact that you got this so cheap and in such good condition is amazing!
So I know this is off topic to gameboys, but you should try fixing/restoring a WM-1 Sony Walkman. I’ve heard they’re really hard to fix.
elliot, where do you get new battery terminals for the pcb on gameboy color. i can only find the ones that go into the shell
Yes a new video!
I wish i gould get deals as great as this...
Indeed Mexico has still some good prices, Hello from Tijuana MX
to go along with the long boy you should make a small boy
This is the best deal ive ever seen you get
I'm mexican and there's only 2 ways you can find one of those here, either at an insane price on the internet/plaza or dirt cheap and severely beated up/broken on a flea market, there's no inbetween
Is that a SARB033 you are wearing? I have the same watch and I assume you have been on r/watches haha!
I paid $75 AUD for my GB light a few years back. Not bad condition but not as nice as that one you scored there. 👍
Don't forget the 3.6 percent on transfer of money to your Sendico account. Also they don't include the tax
Omg he got one of the rarest Gameboys!
Hey, you should try out a mod that give a gameboy WiFi for the official camera and printer. It can be found on Etsy. It would be so interesting to see how it works
maybe you can make a video of how to replace the stickers (serialnr. etc.) or how to get them, maybe also refurbish damaged cartridge stickers, greetings from bavaria (germany)
How do you find these deals? I literally live on Sendico and can never find anything close to these prices.
I want to see your collection
I recently looked up for some gameboy on sendico, but I didn't find anything, I guess you purchased all of them, lol.
Wait what I payed 600¥ for it Roadhouse
My favorite game boy for retro player
Zenmarket is 300yen per item. Highly recommended.
I'm from Mexico and I approve this
Man I am so jealous I wish I was like you
Any tips on repairing button contacts? Replating is $$$$
I have a few game-niño luz myself.
Last time I was this early to a KZread video I had to sell my soul
1998 Japan only For those who don't know not many were sold because most people bought a Gameboy Color instead.
how much did you pay for delivery? Japanese sellers do not ship packages due to covid. Or are they shipping now?
cool you got stuff check
I envy your collection.
Wish you would also include pound conversions.

I feel like a Dual Screen Gameboy Light is coming.
Wow that is so awesome and cool😎
This might be a stupid question but why is there a black box where the Nintendo logo should be when there's no cart
That is the best pick up I think you've ever got.
Let there be light !
ah my bad mate i realised that sendico is converted to dollars.
I live in Mexico. Haven't found one yet.
He's made in the past a Long Boy, two Gameboys stacked on top of each other, but what about a Wide Boy? Two Gameboys side by side
got a question, is the money you deposit on sendico in your wallet right away?
Is japan still shipping goods to countries like the US and the UK during COVID 19?
**THE BUBBLE WRAP FTW**
Jeez, I recently looked into getting some game boys and the light wasn’t cheap at all.
How do u do it Elliot how do u do it
did you say mexico at the end??
Make a long boy pocket
Your fastest most expensive shipping option was that cheap?! I am paying 17000 Yen for my package with 23 different auctions won (and even more items) maybe the weight difference is that high
Quick maths on the currency conversion
What a deal!
You should mod it so that the screen is brighter than the surface of the Sun.
Nice condition of those two.
What a steal 😲
Nice find elliot👍🇯🇵😮🗾
Is that volley fire?
