Shipping AED 222.96 — your parcel leaves the Netherlands.

Order more than one and you share the shipping: a second game rides along free.

Goods worth up to AED 1,000 are free of customs duty, but UAE VAT of 5% applies to imported goods; Emirates Post collects it before delivery. Above AED 1,000, 5% customs duty is added — none of this is included in the price at checkout.

Crossing the border costs you more and takes longer. That you accept that anyway means a great deal to me.

Shipping to the UAE

Small parcel (1-3 games), tracked: AED 148.57
Parcel (console / 4+ items), tracked: AED 222.96
Delivery time: 5-9 working days

We ship from the Netherlands: your parcel crosses the world, so it takes longer and costs more than a domestic delivery. Goods worth up to AED 1,000 are free of customs duty, but UAE VAT of 5% applies to imports; above AED 1,000, 5% duty is added. Emirates Post collects it before delivery — it is not included in the price at checkout.

On your console in the UAE: European (PAL) console: 230 V like the UAE's mains (only the plug differs) — it plays European games, and region-free ones from anywhere.

The United Arab Emirates are outside the EU. Goods worth up to AED 1,000 are free of customs duty (Dubai Customs, since 3 August 2026), but UAE VAT of 5% applies to imported goods; Emirates Post collects it before delivery. Above AED 1,000, 5% customs duty is added as well. None of this is included in the price at checkout. You pay in UAE dirhams — Credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The amount at checkout is what your card is charged, at our fixed shop rate; your bank converts nothing. Prefer PayPal? Choose euros at checkout.

Why does shipping abroad cost this much?

Inside the Netherlands a single game fits through the letterbox — AED 18.18, tracking included. That service stops at the border. Anything leaving the country goes with PostNL as an international parcel, which is a different and considerably more expensive service. That is where the AED 148.57 comes from: the border itself is not what costs money, the cheap service simply ends there.

That amount covers the PostNL rate to your country plus the packaging: bubble mailer or box, an antistatic sleeve for the cartridge, and tape. We never drop the tracking — on a parcel that crosses a border, shipping without proof of delivery is a risk for both of us.

Without you there would be nothing to grow. Every order that comes in here is the reason this shop can get bigger — and the reason I can keep doing this.

About this product

Game Boy Advance SP NES Edition — original Nintendo retro, personally checked.

The Classic NES Limited Edition, in the grey-and-black colours and with the buttons of the NES controller, was released in Europe on 11 November 2004 — alongside the Classic NES series on cartridge.

Powered on and tested before shipping: screen, buttons and charging checked. Clear signs of use, described honestly — technically flawless.

The Game Boy Advance came out in 2001: 32-bit ARM processor, wide screen, backwards compatible with Game Boy and GBC games. On original hardware the whole library runs the way it was meant to — no emulator stutter, no input lag.

Who is this for? Players who want to relive the retro era, parents passing their childhood on to their kids, and collectors completing their Game Boy Advance collection.

European (PAL) console: 230 V like the UAE's mains (only the plug differs) — it plays European games, and region-free ones from anywhere. Every item passes our authenticity check (shell, board, Nintendo markings) and a function test — you're buying 100% original Nintendo.

Shipped from the Netherlands with PostNL tracking to the UAE: from AED 222.96; no customs duty on goods up to AED 1,000, UAE VAT (5%) is collected on delivery. 30-day returns.

Seen it cheaper elsewhere?

For most titles there’s also a private listing online, sometimes a little cheaper. The difference isn’t in the title, but in the copy itself and in everything around it.

Does it work?: Here: Screen, buttons, hinge, charging and ports checked — exactly what’s included is listed with the item.; Private seller: ‘Works fine’ — you find out at home.
Is it original?: Here: Shell and circuit board inspected; a replaced shell or screen is stated honestly.; Private seller: A replaced screen or shell is rarely mentioned.
If it disappoints?: Here: 30-day cooling-off period, and a 30-day warranty that it works.; Private seller: No right of withdrawal: consumer law doesn’t apply between private individuals. Buyer protection only covers the first 48 hours after delivery; after that you’re on your own.
Who’s behind it?: Here: One person, who has held this device personally and answers your question personally.; Private seller: Varies per listing.

Why you still remember this

The click of the lid

Snap it shut when you were called for dinner, open it and carry on exactly where you were. The SP was the first Game Boy you could buy here with its own light, and that felt like luxury — no more lamp posts needed.

One copy, this copy. With a second-hand console the difference is in the screen and the hinge; those two decide how many more years you’ll get out of it, and they’re the hardest to replace.

•GBA and Game Boy cartridges are region-free: an American or Japanese cartridge simply starts up.

What we see with Game Boy Advance consoles

Our experience

With a second-hand console, the difference rarely lies in the electronics and almost always in what moves or lights up: the screen, the buttons, the hinge and the charging. Those are exactly the points we check on every device before it is shipped.

Our tip

With a second-hand device, look above all at the screen and the hinge — buttons and a power supply can still be replaced later, a screen or hinge is a lot harder.

About this specific copy

This copy is in "Playable condition" — second-hand and fully working, but with visible wear: signs of use on the casing and scratches on the screen, which is therefore not scratch-free. Our grading is conservative.

About the Game Boy Advance

The Game Boy Advance (2001) is Nintendo’s most sought-after retro handheld right now. With 82 million units sold and a library of 1,000+ games, the GBA has a huge legacy. Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and Zelda: The Minish Cap are icons that only get scarcer as supply dwindles.

Backwards compatible with original Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges — except the Micro, which only plays GBA.
Four handheld models: the original GBA (widescreen, no light), SP AGS-001 (clamshell, frontlit), SP AGS-101 (backlit, the best) and Micro (tiny, GBA games only).
The battery in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald runs flat after 15+ years — the game and the save still work, only the clock and the timed events stop. The coin cell can be replaced.
