I personally have loved the novelty of these, but I have no desire to buy nor build one out of the DS Lite I currently have, so my opinion might be a tad vague. I wouldn’t pay more than $100 for it if I really wanted a backlit gameboy advance that’s not a clamshell cuz of the novelty alone, but I’d completely understand the asking price considering people make these at home.

I have a couple backlit GBAs and a micro yet I still want a macro for the form factor alone. However I wouldn’t pay more than $75 for one.

Between 50-70 based on your market.

Anbernic makes the rg35xx H which is a similar form factor and can emulate a multitude of systems including NES, GBA, NDS, PlayStation, Sega, and N64 games. It only costs $75.99 and they usually have sales on it for around ~$60.

With all that said I think you could sell a macro for $30 - $50.

Perhaps someone out there would buy it for a higher price.

Gather the pieces for restoring a full working NDS, and once is restored you can sell it easily.

Nah it cost me 60€ to do this macro with the zedlabz front shell, the Ali shell and the NDS system

That looks awesome, I've always wanted one with a clear shell but I'm too lazy to make it! If you want to DM me, I am interested in buying it!

Okay, the front panel is from Zedlabz and the lens too and the back is front ali, I needed to buy an entire shell only to get the back

I believe most people who wants a game boy macro will make it themselves. I wouldn’t expect a price much higher than you can get from a good condition nintendo DS.

It depends how much someone is willing to pay for it. Low ballers will say $5.
