Exceeded expectations!
I was beyond happy with the console I received. I expected typical scratching and battery problems for a 20-year old gameboy. It is almost in perfect condition (one tiny area where the paint is starting to wear out below the A button), and the battery lasts 6+ hours nonstop playtime with the extra screen light on from a fresh charge. I specifically ordered the AGS-101 and this is what I received. Plugged in my pokemon sapphire game from when I was a child, and it was like 20 years never went by.It came with a wall charger as well.Very happy with this purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars MAKE SURE YOU READ THE DETAILS
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2019
So I went through a trial and error when buying this product. At first, I bought this item in "good condition". It came with many scratches on the top of the case and had some minor screen damage. It was still playable and did the job fine. I tried to live it but couldn't due to me liking my collectibles in pristine condition, so I returned it. Just know that if you buy "good condition", you will receive damaged but playable products. After getting my refund, I decided to buy "like new". It arrived within a week and was in great condition. No scratches or damage anywhere. The only problem was that it was the "AGS-001" model. The 001 was not bright at all and I could barely see the screen. Of course this was not the fault of the seller because they listed the model number in the details section and I just missed it. If you want a good game playing experience, I would get the 101 model. This is what I bought after returning the older model. I purchased from Amazing Inc., it came really fast, and was in pretty much perfect condition. No scratches, damages, came with a charger, and they even included a screen protector. I paid a bit more, but I am very satisfied with this purchase. Just make sure you know what you want and an extra $50 goes a long way in terms of quality.

Five stars!
Obviously guys, those won't be in mint condition at all and the batteries wont last.
You should always have a brand new shell on order and a brand new battery waiting so you can swap everything and make it look like it came right out of the box!

No point in giving sellers 2 or 3 stars because it comes with a bunch of scratches and only plays for five minutes on a full charge.

Do your homework, things 20 years old and was probably in a kids pocket for a decade, you're basically paying for the motherboard only.

Esthetics and battery life don't matter!

Thank you so much!

Happy gaming nerds!

Perfettamente funzionante, ben protetto con tanto pluriball nella scatola. Spedito con caricabatterie micro-usb (con tanto di adattatore per poterlo usare con il gameboy). Arrivato in stra-anticipo. In più nel game boy era già inserito un gioco (Fifa 07....anche se non mi interessa come titolo è comunque un segno di attenzione da parte del venditore). Molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto, questo articolo è già stato aggiunto alla mia collezione!
