Update. Tested the NES & it does indeed work. Its not yellow but its not clean either. I got the red blinking light initially but after moving the game around it worked.

I got one response when I initially messaged why the gameboy didn't look as pictured. Got a BS response saying it could be dust on screen and need new batteries. I asked if I could return all of the stuff & got no response after that and haven't pushed any further. Will be trying to salvage my $90.
Just take the screws out of the bottom and soak the top in an oxy clean/water mixture. it’ll look brand new with a little tooth brush scrubber or something. you’ll make almost 75% back on the console and controllers I bet.

I think he can probably eke $20-25 out of the original Gameboy depending on how shot it is too.   So OP, you can hopefully break even-ish if you choose to dump stuff.
 

Ya. Also, I might have lowballed the nes console a little. 
 
Not these days.   Pretty much spot on what you'll get if you try $50-55 shipped online.

I'm sure someone else will take the broken ones for parts. ]]> Good to Bad http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=187941 2019-07-12T15:33:40 -05.00 Clutchcards87 13 Originally posted by: captmorgandrinker

Of course, this really only applies in situations where getting your money back isn't an option. I'm much more likely to pull the trigger on older used consoles when there is a good chance of getting a refund if it doesn't work. ]]> Good to Bad http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=187941 2019-07-12T13:47:43 -05.00 Clutchcards87 13

NES console repair can be simple (new pins, boil pins, fix pins). If it powers and doesnt work but dont want to diagnose/fix the problem, you can sell it to a site like DKOldies (or maybe Lukiegames too?) and they refurbish all NESs anyways. Really only worth it if you get their free shipping deal though.


I've also had good experiences selling "as is" lots on ebay and clearly stating known defects. I'll usually sell a bunch of defected consoles/controllers at once in a big lot. Worst case scenario, I get my money back that I paid for the broken hardware. Best case scenario, I get my money back plus some. Also, you can part out stuff like the controllers and battery door for the Gameboy. And I would imagine a good Gameboy shell can be sold as is ]]> Good to Bad http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=187941 2019-07-12T13:34:13 -05.00 Clutchcards87 13
I would get that PS2 fixed as you can play PS1 games on it and it sounds to be an easy fix. I might cost you as much to fix a PS1 as getting a new one, so you may be at a loss there.

The GameBoy might be a little tricky to get fixed, but I'm sure those can get up and running fine. ]]>
