I just got super lucky and bought a rare Gameboy Micro on eBay!

It's not super rare, but rare enough I guess. It's the light blue Micro, which is a Japanese color. I also scored 4 authentic carts of the mario games with it, and the charger, all for $237.40 (after tax and free shipping factored in), which is a steal for me. I really didn't need the games, but they're in great condition and will be a great addition to my collection. I think I'll add them to a shadowbox and hang it in my gaming room!

Yeah, they cost upwards of about $300+ on average in great condition. That's why I jumped on this one, and it had 4 great games with it!

It's definitely going to be well taken care if in my possession. My Gameboys are like children to me, and I'm Angelina Jolie.

Yeah, they weren't really manufactured very long at all, and came out at the end of the GBA's lifetime.

This is so awesome! I've been looking for a GB Micro for so long and never got the deal I considered worth the money. They're always so expensive, I end up spending the same amount on something I really need. You got a great deal, considering the 4 SMA games. What a nice selection. I'm proud to have them in my collection too (both JPN and US versions). And the SMW: SMA 2 (JPN) came with the original box, manuals and a poster/map in mint condition. ^_^

I got mine from a thrift store 4 or 5 years ago for $10. I thought I paid too much even back then with my only justification being it looked to be in mint condition. Still have it, but it's so small I misplace it all the time.

I'm kicking myself for giving my micro to my ex when she moved out back in 2009... I had no idea they would become so rare and skyrocket like this. Finally glad to be able to have one again.
