Legitimate GB zero kit vendor??

Post by Fredl » Sat Jul 29, 2017 4:32 pm

Hi all,
I've been looking for a Gameboy-zero *COMPLETE* kit. I found lots of build guides, but I have to collect around 20 different parts, which I want to circumvent.

I found this 1Up one here:
https://www.sgshop.com/taobao/tao-bao/d ... d=50025395

Can they be trusted? As far as I understand they buy it from china and then proceed to send it to your country from singapoore?
Also, this one is suspiciously cheap at 70$ with Pi 3 and all parts included..?

If there's any alternative where I could buy a complete kit (with shiping to germany) please let me know!

Thanks,
Fredl

1Up is well known. There are some language-barrier issues in dealing with them, and can't comment on that site specifically (is it a Singaporean proxy for Taobao?), but it should be fairly reputable, assuming they'll ship to your location. Though it wouldn't hurt to use something with buyer protection for payment.

However.

It's almost certainly going to be a kit like this: http://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3310 It won't come with a Pi3, and probably doesn't include the batteries.

Ok, so no Pi included, thats finde with me! Yeah the site seems like a 'proxy'...

Just to be sure, is 70$ a price that would be reasonable for this? It's really hard to get information from the site using google translate, and I don't want to end up with only a case or something.. :-P The pictures are not clear either, since there are none which show the components layed out.
