Where to Find a Game Boy: Online, Retro Shops, Thrift Stores & Model Guide

As an AI I cannot purchase items, but here's exactly where you can buy any Game Boy model and how to choose.

Online Sources

• eBay: All models (DMG, Pocket, Light, Color, Advance, SP, Micro). Use "Sold" filter for real pricing.
• Mercari / Etsy / Facebook Marketplace / OfferUp: Good for local pickup (test before pay).
• Specialty Retro Retailers: DKOldies, JJGames, Lukie Games, RetroGameRepairShop — tested, warranted, premium price.

Offline Hunting

• Local Game Stores: "Mom & Pop" shops often have a display case.
• Pawn Shops / Thrift Stores (Goodwill, Savers): Cheap ($10–$30) but untested; bring batteries + game to test.
• Garage Sales / Flea Markets: Best deals; early arrival key.
• Conventions (RetroGameCon, PRGE, MAGFest): High volume, vetted sellers.
