I have buy GameBoy B/W games: a stupid thing???

[indianatigre]

I have buy 13 used gameboy b/w games. All are in box with instructions.
I have paid fot them 52 US dollars
Some from nintendo (Kirby/Mario/Wario...)

Too late for questions...... but:

1) The games b/w for gameboy have the same shape on gameboy color/gameboy advance???

2) I have make a correct choice on buy for 52 US these games??
(price too high?)

Thanks and excuse for my english

I don't know much about "worth" when it comes to these things, but given the examples you listed, I would pay that much.

And yes, these carts will play on a GBA.

GBA is backwards compatible with all old systems/games. it'll play your gameboy or gameboy color games just fine.

4.00 a game for complete b/w game boy games is a great price! especially if it has Mario, Wario and other Nintendo games.

You obviously didn't get these off eBay! Where did you find them?

What all games did you get?

[indianatigre]

I have found these games in a advertisement in a local newspaper.
I post the list of games & photo next days.

I don't know the gameboy games... i'm a recent fan of nintendo.... my actual collection have a little quantity of NES / SNES / N64 games... and now some gameboy games!.

[tholly]

it seems like you got a really good deal....an exact list of games, and pictures, would help

[Crush Crawfish]

Sounds like you made quite a haul. They'll play perfectly fine on any Gameboy System, Including the Gamecube's Gameboy Player. Just let us see some pics when you can.

complete Game Boy B&W games tend to be pretty hard to come by, nabbing 13 for that price is quite good, no matter what the title, I dare say you did well.

Should you find Metroid II in that grouping, I dare say you did VERY well :D

GB games loose average 7-12 dollars everywhere I go, no matter how old...seems everyone knows it too...one of those weird flukes. COnsequently, I don't have a crapload of GB games. Not fair, I tells ye...they oughta be cheaper.

So yeah, great find! If you don't collect, sell the games you don't want and get your $ back.

Yeah, GB games pretty much always manage to maintain a decent value for some reason. I can only guess that it is because demand remains pretty high for them no matter what due to the large installed base. Other than that, I'm not sure.

[Aboliax]

I think the reason that the games hold their value is the fact that systems are still being made that can play the games. If you don't want all of them, like another person said, post them in the Buying / Selling forum, complete GB games are hard to come by anymore.

[DigitalSpace]

The backwards compatibility of the GBA has a lot to do with the prices of GB carts.

The complete ones are very hard to come by around in Central CA. All the stores and places I go to only have Color and GBA games. Even the loose games are not as plentiful as they used to be. Looks like you made out with a good find.
