Sell it for 70... Maybe if your willing to pay 150 for shipping ;)

You have to be lucky that someone has it laying around without knowing its value. The ones you find on ebay are mostly in the $200+ range. At the Pricecharting website you can see how much it may be worth: https://www.pricecharting.com/console/g ... me=Systems

They base the price at how often an item is sold and for how much: https://www.pricecharting.com/page/methodology

Finally we had some sunshine over the past two days (great summers here in Holland :( ) so I could try to revert the yellow color of my GB. I've used hydrogen peroxide cream;

That's a really good result!

can you pm me what you have used exactly?

I have orderd a after market case, because my original case was WAY to yellow, and a after market case cost only 9 dollar (including buttons, silicone pads etc!!!!)
My first GBZ build -=HERE=- -> Became a gift to my little brother!
My 2nd GBZ build -=WIP HERE=- -> going with HDMI!
