Yeah, but what did they pay you for what you sold to them?

$20 in 1990. But I'm not actually sure where they get their stuff since it's a chain that is super sketchy and never see anyone pawn much, but they do occasionally have good prices on stuff just not new consoles or older games that are a little rare.

Where are you finding them? All the thrifts I regular hardly ever have any.

There's a used game store chain in Madison called Pre Played that I bought a black Play It Loud at for $15 and a Pocket there for $15 as well. They also sell a lot of movies so games might not be there thing. The other place is Pawn America, I bought a copy of Tetris for $0.99 and a Grey Boy for $10. Also here's the link to Pawn America's video game console pricing, they don't have DMG's on the list but they do have Colors for $8.www.pawnamerica.com/video-game-systems/

For me in Wisconsin DMG's whether they are play it loud or not they are about $10-15 which is the same for Pockets. I think colors are a little more but I haven't seen any at the local shops for a while. But most of my local stores have tons of Gameboy Cameras for less than $10 usually around $8.

You mean any backlight, or these?

No just those, I've been meaning to get a couple from kitsch.

The DMG hasn't been backlighted yet as I'm waiting for Kitsch to release the new cases so I can  make a bigger order.

Between a DMG, a pocket and color which has the longest battery life. Im going on trip and I want to know how long I have with each before the batteries die. Also would one of the Game Boy lights that's been modded with a blue LED annoy you?

I have a blue pocket, it's pretty awesome it was what I was going to backlight and prosound. Got that one for $15 But that plan backfired when I picked up a DMG from my neighborhood pawn chain store for $10.

That flash light idea is pretty awesome but I might hold out on backlighting it for a little while.

I have a new to me Gameboy Pocket and I was wondering if I should backlight it? I have experience with electronics innards and some soldering ability but I dont want to mess up this gameboy.  So is backlighting an mgb as hard as it appears to be?
