Not bad for $15. The GBA games usually go for $10-$15 each.

this thing has been opened. I really don't wanna bother with it. Who knows what the original owner did to it. It doesn't light up to charge. The green light comes on when you power it up but goes away after a few seconds. No screen activity. I put a charged battery from the good one in and it didnt do anything different.

 My father in-law is going to put it on eBay AS-IS

 Its all his crap anyhow. He did give me the working PSP for my father. we go back and forth with stuff. I tell him what to sell, how much to ask or expect and i have been writing up the descriptions lately. He lets me take what I want.  Its usually no cash out of my pocket when he gets stuff.....thats always good for me. :)

Check the inside for these little white paper squares with pink dots on them.  If the pink dots are all washed out, then it has water damage and you can be assured that it's pretty much effed (the board at least).  The symptoms that you describe sound like water damage :(

Everything I don't take he sells.  He got about 40 for each handheld he put up on eBay.
 He did pretty good off the $15 he spent on the box.

1.) DSLite with NON OEM charger, NON OEM Car Charger and shell
2.) GBA SP black with Zelda and carry case with charger
3.) GBA SP Blue with Mario Advance 2 and a few random cheapo games

Which are the expensive ones? I know that people here talk about Aladdin pretty highly and obviously the Mario/DK/Zelda titles. I'm really kinda new to Nintendo in general so I'm not sure about the numbers lol. If they can find the SNES that came with it I'll throw in an extra ten dollars.

Keeping a good chunk of these... the rest will either go to eBay or the local retro shop... for more games.

edit: fixed the GameBrick. Turns out the battery connector had some gunk on it that was shorting it out. Works fine now.
