GameBoy Light (SOLD)

[BULDREN]

I found a GameBoy Light today and purchased it. I have never seen one before and was wondering if any of you are interested in it. It is similar to a GameBoy Pocket but it has a mode that the screen lights up on. The Light makes it like one of those digital wristwatches (you know with the neon green tint to it).

Let me know if there is any interest in it.

EDIT: I just found some more information on this item on wikipedia.com, here it is...

The Game Boy Light was only released in Japan in 1997. Nintendo decided that United States consumers wanted "color, not light". The Light is about the same size as the Pocket and has a backlit screen for improved visibility. It uses 2 AAA batteries, which give it approximately 20 hours with the light off and 12 with it on.

The Game Boy Light used to be the rarest Game Boy variant outside of Japan at one time, but due to the Internet and online auction sites, the console has become more widely available. It was the only handheld Nintendo produced with an independently lit (frontlit) screen until the release of the Game Boy Advance SP in 2003.

FYI: The picture that is attached is what the unit is like. I do not have the box though. It is Gameboy system only and has seen some use thru the years. Not perfect condition but not horrible either.

I am interested, but don't know what they go for to make an offer on it at all.

Well Im not sure at this point either so float me some kind of offer and we will go from there.

I saw some website saying they are very rare and sought after buy collector's, and it said they would pay hundreds of dollars for them. I highly doubt that websites accuracy with the pricing though.

they're worth between $30 and $60 depending on condition. some sellers think they're super rare because they never released it here, but it's a rather common system. they used to have them cheap at japangamestock.com (around $30)

I sold my Gold one a few months back for $50 shipped.
