I am looking for a GameGear with both battery covers in full working condition. I am not too concerned about scratches and scuffs.  It would be cool if it came with games but not necessary.  I would also like to have the AC for it, but again, not nescessary.

if only functionality was not required,i have 6 defect ones :-[
I am a big Nintendo fan! especially GameBoy, N64, SFC, GC. And of course Mario games
I collect SFC/N64 mainly. Some rare famicom stuff too. Also miscellaneous video game stuff.

Why not replace the capacitors in them and sell them?
Here are a few games I am looking for right now
Super Puzzle Fighter II X (Sega Saturn)
GeGeGe no Kotarou (Sega Saturn)
Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu (Sega Saturn)
KiKi KaiKai (PC Engine) (CIB)
Puzzle Bobble (Super Famicom) (CIB)

If you have a gamegear that picture works fine on, but the sound is oit, I would considder that as well for the right price.

I'm looking for a Game Gear now too...in Japan it's kinda hard to find a cheap, working one though.  There are so many broken ones for sale compared with Game Boy which seems, for the most part,  to just keep on going (anyone seen and remember that Iraq War survivor?!!)

That war surivor GB was amazing to see, the story behind it is just so evident as well, which is so charming.




So what's the going rate for a working GG?  I have a couple here and can also get fresh ones with the caps replaced for a chunk more.

Very cool gameboy. And to wholesalewatch, let me know about that gamegear when you find out.

I don't know for sure but maybe $30-$50 for a loose working one???

That's more than I expected - might flog my GGs then :P  both fully working, one more used than the other but I can get a new lens etc.

i check them yesterday and sure enough,all have the capacitor problem.i was going to buy the replacement capacitor to fix, but it is like $12, and on top of shipping to canada which is around $17.00 now , it would be close to $ 30 just for parts and shipping, not to mention cost of unit. but if you want i can send you one theat needs new capacitors for cheap  it is missing battery covers and is used conditions.
