Obvious flaws:
- bundling Tetris and batteries "so it is ready to play when it arrives at your door" is thriving on bullshit nostalgia
- your bundled items unneccessarily boost the selling price. Stuff like that in this scene is considered "baggage," most people want ONLY the Gameboy.
- your lack of inclusion of a prosound mod which is deemed standard for the most part when selling modified Gameboys to chipmusic artists
- A spotty paint job (some parts of the painting are uneven and let you see through the case)
- lack of prosound mod it requires someone be able to install it themselves, which then leads one to ponder "I could probably do a shit paint job and wire in a backlight myself. Why not just do something like this all myself?"

Such aggressive behavior with the pricing shows how greedy you are. Check out these consoles for sale at kitsch-bent or at ASM Retro or even 8bitaesthetics.. Those dudes sometimes have Gameboys sit in their shops for years before they sell.

I promise you that ALL of those Gameboys were modified by hands with a better reputation than yours, and probably more talent. If they can't move their stylish and tastefully painted boutique-level Gameboys, you are a greedy dude for hoping someone buys yours for $99. A greedy dude who hopes either some dumb buyer or a fella with too much money on a nostalgia trip nabs it.

I fucking dare you to tell me you put more work into developing your painting skills, hunting down hardware that works given its age, and you bothered to make sure that your product was labelled and tagged in a way that would be conducive to you selling it.

tl;dr Lowering your price is a move I would recommend you make. The aesthetics of your item and the price of it are an insult to those who make custom Gameboys true art, OP.

Bad publicity is still publicity, dipshit.

Or get a dropbox.
