Used Nintendo GAME BOY Console DMG-01 Boxed Gray - Tested & Working

What We Did Before This Ships

Every console we sell is opened up and serviced by hand.
We don't just confirm it powers on — we look inside.

• This unit was fully disassembled and cleaned internally; dust was removed from all components.
• All boards and electrical contacts were cleaned with ethanol and a fast-drying, residue-free electronics cleaner to remove oxidation and residue.
• Moving mechanical parts were lubricated with a light application of silicone grease for smooth, quiet operation. (We do not apply grease to electrical contacts — they are cleaned only.)
• Electrolytic capacitors are replaced only when there is visible corrosion or leakage — nothing more, nothing less. For console families known for capacitor failure, a full recap is performed as standard.
• If a console cannot be properly restored, we do not sell it.
• After reassembly, the unit is tested with an actual game: video, sound, and controller input are all confirmed.
• Before we seal the box, we power the console on one more time and confirm it is still working.
• Every console includes 30 days of support after it reaches you.

A note on power: This is a battery-powered handheld and does not connect to household mains, so no voltage transformer is required. (Batteries are not included unless stated.)

A note on region: This is a Japanese Game Boy (or Game Boy Color). The hardware is region-free — cartridges from any region fit and run without restriction. Japanese cartridges will display in Japanese; North American and European cartridges will display in their original language.

If anything here isn't covered, just ask — questions are always welcome.

What You Will Actually Pay

Nothing appears later that is not listed here.

• The item — $219.99. That is the price on this page.
• Shipping — free to most countries. Any order of $100 or more that includes a console ships free, and this console is already above that — games you add ride along free too. One exception. Shipping to Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Peru is $20.00 on every order, because shipping to South America costs far more. The exact figure for your address appears at checkout, before you pay.
• Import duties and taxes. Not included in the price and not collected at checkout — for every country, including the United States. Your country’s customs decides the amount, and the carrier will ask you to pay it before or at delivery. The carrier may also charge its own fee for handling customs. Rules differ by country and can change, so we can’t tell you the exact amount in advance. If a carrier ever presents a charge that looks wrong, send us the paperwork and we will look into it with you.

We have one of these. It is the unit in the photographs above — not a stock image, and not one of several.

It leaves Japan within 1–3 business days of your payment, with a tracking number sent to you by email.

How long until it reaches you. We post from Aichi, in central Japan, with Japan Post. Japan Post publishes how many days air mail from here usually takes: about 18 days to the United States, 13 to Canada, 12 to the United Kingdom, 12 to Germany and 14 to Australia, counted from the day after we post it. Those are Japan Post’s own published figures, not ours, and Japan Post calls them a standard rather than a guarantee — a customs check can add days. Your tracking number lets you follow the parcel the whole way.
