Warms my heart to see people wearing Stussy still.
Always
@@TheRetroFuture Honestly one of the most underrated brands ever.
I had a Stussy tee from the early 90s just until a few years ago. Probably the best quality t-shirt I've ever had. Love Stussy!
stussy baka
@@ElisPalace it is i love it lol
Great little quick repair. I had a game boy color as a kid that had button problems. That thing was my pride and joy. After a few months of no gameplay I found a bunch of ants set up shop in the thing. It was very bad, they had built a whole nest in there. I remember crying holding the thing and not knowing what the hell to do. My dad spent a few hours taking it apart with a flat head screw driver as no one really had the triwing one and the internet wasn't really a thing yet. He cleaned all the ants out of it and even the buttons worked after that. Sounds weird but the ants setting up shop in my gameboy and my dad managing to fix it would any know how or correct tools has always been a core memory for me.
That's so wholesome lol. Your dad really was a great dad just by that incident.
@@FreightmareFTW begon with your unsolicited babble, zealot!
Up your anti
.....ants?
Ant pov: I will give you a motherboard for 1 leaf,
Other ant: add a battery and deal,
Ant: ok deal.
Back in the 2017 I traded in my at the time brand new fidget spinner for a Blue GBA SP and Pokémon Red best deal I’ve ever got!!!
what?? O.o? lol how?!?!
That was already half a decade ago crazy how time flys
@Dan's Retro Collection or just had no idea what they had
@@katsumiskytower8714 yeah exactly he said modern gamer most modern gamers just think old games are junk hence why gamestop exists for trade in business practice
@@katsumiskytower8714 | fidget spinners were popping back in 2017 you could've probably convinced someone to trade their kidney for one.
How do you not have an Gameboy sp charger? Lol You have a Gameboy sewing machine.
The seller didnt
I had no idea there was a Wave Race game before the N64, mind blown
Me neither! Had to do a double-take!
Omg it's Retro Game Corps on the retro futures channel! *screams in crossover*
For a retro collector, that sounds too good to be true. Congrats on the steal!
The price is not bad 😃
Same!
Feels so weird to hear things from my childhood being called “retro” lol but I guess it’s time to face the fact that I’m old now 😂
I feel like he scammed them
You can get deals like that in the U.S in bigger cities from garage sales. My older brother does the hussle lol.
The best deal of my life was getting a lime green Gameboy Color alongside genuine copies of Pokemon Gold, Silver & Crystal in immaculate shape, all for $20. I was 7 at the time & I’m certain I will never encounter a deal like that again in my life. Fast forward 12 years later & I still have everything kept up in the excellent shape I got it all in.
That’s absolutely awesome dude
Best deals of my life were getting a 3ds for £15 at a charity shop in 2018 (still no idea how that happened) and my mum getting Pokemon blue for £4 on an eBay auction in 2007
@@Fmfcg That 3DS deal is an absolute steal considering how expensive those things have been getting lately.
@@TheZombieFarmArchive definitely got lucky with that one I remember having to double check that was indeed the price because I was so shocked. It was in the grandma's village where there aren't many young people do maybe that's why but I don't know
It fascinates me that the people who sold this are into things like 3D printing, like I feel like they should know how much all this is potentially worth, or least some idea that this is more valuable that just $50.
either that or they just didnt care enough and wanted everything out asap
either that or... he made up the sale...
After that incident you had with your Minuet cartridges. You definitely deserved something like this. Good find mate!
I can definitely vouch for the legitimacy for the FB Marketplace as I've found a Super Mario Bros Game & Watch at a good price, and I don't mean the one Nintendo recently put out. lol
Facebook market place is underrated asf I found every Pokémon game on the DS (11 games total) for 200$ absolute steal
Ok Megaman
@@triobros98 *dab*
1998... Way to make me feel old, man. My *daughter* is older than you are !
Holy shit Elliot! That's a damn good haul right there!
i just love how happy elliot gets after a successful fix like the smallest of fixes to the hardest elliot is always so pleased with himself
I live in Tennessee in the United States & have had both of those exact models. The gameboy color is about $75 & the SP is about $120, so you got one hell of a deal. Love the channel. Keep up the great work
Yeah yeah just stay where yas are america
I don’t think you gotta specify in the us. I’m pretty sure most of his viewers are from us. Pretty much any RUclipsr for that case
Let me buy them from you, i’m also in Tennessee.
@@SpiralSkylines I'm not trying to sell them. I'm a collector too
@@masonlewis8462 You can sell them and then buy more :)
Seeing other people find these insane deals is like finding a Unicorn on Mars.
You got a fantastic deal. Can't wait to see what you do with the Gameboys. Very nice of you to give the carts to your friends.
amazing deal. sometimes the sellers just want to get rid of it as is because there's some "parts" needed to be replaced or the condition of it is low quality. not often you see these deals come up nowadays.
wow you were so lucky the truth I thought that the pokemon cartridges were fake
James Bond was a legend of zelda clone and is very fun. Solid OST.
Hmm didn't know that
I love Gameboys, this is why I follow you to begin with but I mostly stick around for the accent 😆 cheers from Canada, what a steal! A GBC/GBA goes for $60-100 here, and the SP depending on the model can go for $100-200 on average, and the Pokémon games for about $50. I used to see a lot more deals like this but they're becoming few and far between these days, you've really got to have your eyes peeled and be quick.
I'm over in nova scotia and those numbers are here for sure, maybe $20 less on average but they also don't show up very often. I snagged a graphite 101 for $80 two months ago but that doesn't come often lol
I stick uround for the agsent
TIL from the thumbnail that either your photoshopping skills are aces, or I'm not the only one with uncomfortably massive hands. GBA SP and a GB Color in one hand! wild times.
Great vid as always, thanks for sharing, brother!
Officer, I’d like to report a robbery
Hey, I just had a modding idea and thought I'd pitch it. A Nintendo ds, the original one, but its a solid thing like the Nintendo 2ds.
I just scoured a copy of pokemon blue with a decent label and working battery on ebay for 20 bucks on a auction that's my best gameboy deal so far nothing to crazy
Been a while since you mentioned the magic words 'Isopropyl Alcohol'! Nice to see a back to the roots video again.
I doubt you would see this but I heard you say something about running out of new things to do, and that resonated with me, because I feel like I would enjoy it just as much if you just clean gameboys. Struggling to always find something new is tedious and not really something that people expect you to do.
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
I've had a few great Marketplace buys over my short time collecting, including a woman who bought a refurbed Game Boy from me and in addition to paying full price, gave me a (non-functional, but easily repaired) transparent DMG-01, a guy who gave me a GameCube for free because the reset button was stuck down, a woman who sold me an Ice Blue Nintendo 64 for $70 AUD.
Things like that are why I collect.
But on the same page, I've missed out on a few amazing bargains, like someone selling the box for a Pokemon themed Game Boy Color for $10 (they drive the price of the Game Boy WAAAAAY up if you have the box), someone selling a boxed copy of Zelda DX for $20, and a bunch of other stuff.
Seeing all three of those Gen 1 Pokémon games turn out to be real makes the collector in me very happy.
I love watching the OG style videos from you!!
i feel like this is something i would see but would have spent all my money the day prior, anyway great video Eliot
If 50 bucks is all the money you got, don't spend it on Gameboy stuff anyway lol
Last year I found a very rare Gameboy Advance SP (Rockstar edition) for 60€. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that there are only 12 worldwide. It's now the holy grail of my collection and I'm so happy that I found it.
That's so cool. Great find
Holy moly, that is so cool. Nice find!
11 now, dropped mine in Lake Huron
I just bought a collection in my shop, from a kid, well he’s a young adult now, but Iv known him for maybe 15 yrs or more, and he sold all his handhelds, he had every thing from the game gear, to the new 3DS, and so many games. All the Pokémon, he was a collector, but I guess just grew up and is moving on. It’s kinda sad to see it, knowing him for so long and basically we sold him everything he had. But yea, crazy collection, we gave him what he asked for in cash. It was a good deal for us and he got what he wanted.
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20

They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948
Really want to see that Game Boy battery replacement video get on it Elliott 😁👍thanks
I refurbed my first Gameboy Colour (Lime Green) yesterday. Paid £5 for it from a charity shop. Was nearly as filthy as the yellow DMG you did Elliot and the buttons barely worked. After a deep clean it now works perfectly. It was definitely well loved as there's plenty of scratches where the cartridge goes in and a fair few scratches on the screen lens but I've got a glass one on the way for it.
Also have a couple of GBA's with battery leakage that I paid £1 each for to have a go at.
"It's 3D printed you can't expect it to be perfect" thankfully that 8th stupidest thing I've heard all day so I'm doing good.
Sometimes people just want to get rid of things for some kind of price. I wouldn't brag too much about what a 'steal' it was.
This is a very informative video on many things regarding your purchase. Very useful information and we thank you! Good job chap!
When I was about nine years old I stumbled across a shoe box at a yard sale with two game boy advanced sp's (silver and red), a charger, a carrying case and a few Pokemon games (I think they were fire red, emerald, and the saphire one) with some other stuff. My dad got the entire lot for about 10$ and everything was in almost perfect condition. I also bought a game boy color at another yard sale around the same time with the game men in black.
Note- I'm not a big game boy collector or enthusiast so if anyone can tell me any info about them I would appreciate it

FYI: They didn't replicate the UK sticker because the sales of Yellow were #1 in the US, then #2 in Japan. And it's easier & more profitable to sell to the most buyers rather than anyone else.
aside from just the usual stuff of recycling titles between platforms, the gameboy family was in an odd situation, due to the consistent backward compatibility the previous system was always still a valid system so devs would often make a version for both the current and previous system to dip into the full market, this trend died around the time of the ds with some of the last titles to do it being gba/ds split including a few that had a degree of cross link between the two platform versions

I still can't believe I sold my SNES for like 20 bucks years ago along with a controller and several games including Super Mario World, Mario AllStars, Megaman X, and I think another couple games.
Ooof
I mean yeah, the practice of having two different games under the same name for two or more different systems was pretty common from inception of portable video games. It wasn't until the switch where portable games were guaranteed to be the same as their console counterparts (mainly because the console IS the handheld) for a long time portable games were a mixed bag, often being deleveloped by different studios but under the same title, it was a whole thing that people just accepted. So to see the same game be different between two handhelds wasnt a shock to me, a RUclipsr called "exoparadigmgamer" has a great series call "X(Cross) platform" where he covers stuff just like this.
I know I rejected getting the gba version of chain of memories because I thought it would be a watered down different game, but now I know it was the other way around, much like the other well known "console quality handheld games" like secret agent clank, and ratchet and clank size matters.
Mate give 007 a go, it's such a great underated game.
Bought 2 Mario Kart Nintendo 2DS XL for 5€ each on a garage sale. Best deal of my life
That brought some warm nostalgia.
It always hurts me remembering I sold three GB pokemon games and an original GBC for $50 back when I was a kid and needed the money. Then again, I got all of them for about $20 originally. A few years back tho I did happen to grab a lot on ebay with a GBA, GBA SP, and DS Lite for only $40
007 was my favorite Gameboy game before Pokémon. Such a gem.
Wow Elliot, what a fantastic buy! So growing up I had a pearl pink GBA SP model AGS-101. Unfortunately I sold it, and all the games I had with it to store that ripped me off big time. Fast-forward to last year I found and bought back the same color and model GBA SP. It feels so good to have it back!
First time I've ever heard someone call a q-tip a cotton bud 😂
Didn't know I was gonna find a select button fixing tutorial in this but I did need one.
In 2016 I was on Mexico and went to a flea market, a lady wanted 200 pesos (which is about $10dollars) for 3 game boys(2 colors and 1 pockets) and over 20 games!. I just kept 1 Pokémon red which is on mint condition
I never thought that the Gamesaves would require a battery in the cartridges because I thought it would use the battery power of the Gameboy for that. Good thing, I now it now. Will have to check on my Games too. Hope it's not too late. But I also never screwed one of the cartridges open.

The best deal I ever got was at a yard sale. I bought not one, but TWO Gameboy Advance Micros for $20 total. I kept one for my collection and sold the other for $$Profit$$
I’m amazed people have enough skill to list something on Facebook but lack enough thoughtfulness to do a quick online search to get a ballpark amount of what their stuff is worth. I’m not expecting everyone to become price charting wizards but still, it would take these people literally an extra 2 minutes to get anywhere up to 3 times the amount of money. Odd…
I found a whole bunch of Pokèmon games in a secondhand electronics shop for 5€ each some years ago and that was when those older games were already ridiculously expensive.
I mean Fire Red and Leaf Green for 5€ each? Absolutely a steal and the people selling them had no idea and just sold all Gameboy games for 2€ and all GBA games for 5€.
I also recently found someone selling an old Gameboy with a light mod for 20€ too. If you look long enough eventually you will have some luck with those things. Also never spend more than 10-15€ on any DS or DSlite I own because most of mine are Japanese and people just often don't know that it doesn't matter and you can just change languages.
I found a Gameboy Colour for $60 Canadian.
And it was the same colour as the one I had growing up.
My mother thought it was the same system.
Retro Future: Best Gameboy deal of my life :D
Homer: Best Gameboy deal of your life So Far
Great Deal!
I've been keeping an eye out for bargain out here in Thailand, picked up a japanese Warioware Twisted for £4 the other day!!
I got a pretty good one last summer that was a minty tribal SP, pokemon ruby, sapphire, fake emerald, a bunch of other misc gba titles, the offical SP case and charger all for £45.
Sold pokemon ruby and sapphire and made my coin back, was only interested in the SP (not that the tribal version is my thing).
Anyway, great bargain hunt!
One of my bestfriends gave me 2 gameboy sp, game boy color and gameboy advance and all his pokemon games and other games for my bday and i couldnt be more grateful
I would love to see a video changing the internal battery in The Pokemon games, as I have the original blue and yellow cartridges and both batteries are failing. love your vids man fair play
I've been scammed too many times by people on the UK Facebook Market... :(
I've only been scammed once, and that's because I bought something from a new Facebook account, and asked them to post it to me. I was out $70, so not major money. Everything else I've bought (and I've bought literally hundreds of items) have been fine, because I pay with cash or PayPal (and I cover the fee so I get buyer protection), I test before I leave, and if I don't feel right, I don't buy.
But I've heard SO many stories from people who have done the right thing and still got scammed, so perhaps I've just been lucky.
I know some of you will have a heart attack when I tell you this but
When I was 5 I sold a Gameboy Color for a quarter
I've only recently been interested in starting an old consoles collection. Wish I had never given away my GB, GBC, and both GBAs. The pokemon cartridges are crazy expensive too, and don't even get me started on anything that still comes with the original box.
This was so helpful. The start button on my gameboy dose stick a bit. But I just changed the battery in Pokemon Silver with some help from my father. Also I have a question about how valuable the golde and silver gameboy color is. I have one it's pretty scratched up frome being played. But acording to the stickers on the back it is an original. I have just always been curious about its worth.
James Bond on Game Boy is a great little game!
Just wanted to say because of you I had the confidence and know how to take apart my pocket and give it a much needed clean (it was bought off eBay) and now it's running amazingly smooth. Thanks again! Amazing channel and amazing content 💯
Great deal! Not common at all.
My best deal on fb marketplace few years ago was dsi xl with pokemon heart gold (boxed), black & white for 15 or 20 pounds. After went home with the purchase noticed the charger port was broken but was still a bargain. Friend fixed it for me. Happy days.
I especially love these kinds of videos from you.
Last year I traded a bottle of water for a DSi. I’m not kidding.
"Yawshee island" eh? we're saying yawshee and mary-oh just because ya?
I was watching your custom made Gameboy videos and I was wondering. Have you tried making an original Gameboy or Gameboy color work like a Gameboy advance?
I've wondered if that were possible when I was a kid
Eliot if you warm up the latch on the printed battery cover you may be able to bend it down a little more and it might then click into place
Gameboy Colours are pretty expensive on eBay. Most go for at least £50 many up to £70 plus. This was an absolute steal nice job. I was lucky on Gumtree and picked up a great condition GBA with six games for £70 :).
I got an NES, Mario/Duck Hunt bundle, the zapper, 2 controllers, for $60. I found out they actually sell for $120 so I was told that I was the only one getting it for $60. I'd say that's a good deal!!
Dude, James Bond 007 is such an amazing bond game. It’s as if you play as Shaun Connery with the look and the sassy/ suave dialogue. The game itself is so much fun and has a good story. An absolute Gem!
yeah, that stuff would easily be worth up to 10 times as much buying it anywhere else.
Bro has the coolest name imagine being on a date and they ask you what your RUclips is and you say I’m “The Retro Future” that’s such a cool name rock on man
Edit: 2:44 that game might have been shovelware by Disney
I really have to ask what you do when you run into stubborn screws? I ran into them when I was fixing my Game Boy Color and somehow run into them pretty often.
dude got the best deal in history... i can't get my hand on pokemon games for my GB
thanks for all the content really appreciate all the hard work and love you put in.
I got a purple Gameboy advance with a game in working condition for $15 at an antique store

You should do F-RAM mods on the pokemon games and ditch the need of a battery all together.
Wait, you like wave race?
Wait a minute you like Wave Race?

Wonder who gets the reference.
..... Oh shit... that maybe part of the swapped Pokemon Yellow shipment. there was a shipment back in the day in the us for the Pokemon Yellow games that was swapped with a shipment that was supposed to go to the UK. And they did a Recall for them in the US. Cause for some reason the US yellow carts can work in PAL Gameboys but the Pal Carts can't work in the US gameboys. it was a weird time.
@Elliot hold up, 1998. . . I was born 1988 and played that Pokemon game on my pocket when I was ten. Does that mean if you played it as a kid the game was already ten years old. You were playing retro games as a kid?
i bought a Gameboy color the other month with pokemon red. it was also a lime green one. i like to think of it as the watermelon
I found at a yardsale last year a GBA with Pokemon Emerald, Leaf Green, and Fire Red and a few low end games all for $15
MY DEAR OWNER OF THE CHANNEL.
I COME HERE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU HAD 1 CABLE TO DO THIS SERVICE OF CHARGING THIS GAME BOY ADVANCE SP, .. IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO CHANGE THE BATTERY! HE HIMSELF COME WITH A CABLE, OK!?
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU CHANGED HITTING, IT WAS NEEDED!
JUST HOPE SOMEONE HAS ALREADY REFERRED TO IT!
Hey man great video, I’ve been watching for a while, your one of the reason I started my own retro channel
Hey man, I just wanted to let you know that you can tell any pokemon cartridges authenticity by simply looking at the sticker/label and looking for an indented code. If the label/sticker doesn't have any indents, it's most definitely fake.
Can I Have The Game Boy Color, Pokemon Blue & Pokemon Yellow Elliot?
Hello mate, I was wondering if they have other start/select buttons available for the GBC because mine have that same problem. The buttons being rubber are too mushy compared to my GBA SP. Any ideas?
I used to trade some of my games for others I remember trading mario bros for 2 Pokémon cartridges
I wish I had kept all my retro consoles. Now as a 30 yo, ive got to pay premiums to get those treasures back. Feelsbad
I got a copy of pokemon blue and silver for trading a 20$ eshop card to my friend back in october 2020
I actually still have the same pouch too from when I got my sp as a kid.
I Have a GB pocket , a basic GB , a GB color , 2 GBA SP , a ds , a 3ds , and pokemon red , blue, green,silver and gold
The best game boy deal I had was using Retroarch and getting the games on Vimm’s lair
That's so awesome! You can also use a rubber eraser to polish up the pins.
