Hello! i'm planning to sell my GBZ as i don't have the time to use it. Which would be the best way to sell it? i thought about an ebay auction but i've never used it, is someone selling them? at what price? i'd like to sell it to someone who already knows what it really is (and the effort made).
My GBZ has the 640x480 screen, teensy for the controls, powerboost and 2500mah battery (adafruit), gbz kitschbend control pcb, class d audio amplifier, usb audio card (i'm thinking to switch to pwm audio), etc. Is someone interested?
thanks in advance for your advice!

Re: Selling a Gameboy Zero (assembled)
I guess the basic would be to count how many you have spent on the project (the GBZ parts). And then add how much you want to charge for your time. On eBay I have seen selling for about 300€ (the ones made by ivanretrobit, check his instagram). However, you said you use a 640x480 screen, so that´s a plus.
I wouldn´t recommend you to use eBay, because they charge a % for the service.
Nice build you made, by the way.

Re: Selling a Gameboy Zero (assembled)
i see zero's on ebay quite regularly. start the auction at 250 and implement a 4-500 "buy it now", make it a precise listing with all the parts and prices, good pictures and make it ABUNDANTLY clear that you will be selling an empty system without roms. should go over pretty well. and yes, ebay collects fees, but you have buyer and seller protection and it is maybe the easiest way to reach a large group of potential buyers.
it sure beats putting it up on etsy...
