Shipping A$113.44 — your parcel leaves the Netherlands.

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

Orders up to A$1,000 clear Australian customs without GST or duty. Above A$1,000, Border Force charges 10% GST (plus duty where it applies) and an import processing charge before delivery — none of it 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 Australia

Small parcel (1-3 games), tracked: A$66.41
Parcel (console / 4+ items), tracked: A$113.44
Delivery time: 8-14 working days

We ship from the Netherlands: your parcel crosses the world, so it takes longer and costs more than a domestic delivery. Orders up to A$1,000 clear Australian customs without GST or duty; above that, Border Force charges 10% GST (plus duty where it applies) and an import processing charge before delivery — none of it is included in the price at checkout.

On an Australian console: European PAL console, 230 V — the same standard as Australia; only the plug shape differs, a travel adapter is all you need.

Australia is outside the EU. Orders up to A$1,000 in value clear customs without GST or duty: we are not registered for Australian GST, so nothing is added. Above A$1,000, Australian Border Force charges 10% GST on the goods and shipping (plus duty where it applies) and an import processing charge, which Australia Post collects before delivery. None of this is included in the price at checkout. You pay in Australian dollars — Credit card or PayPal. The amount at checkout is what your card or PayPal is charged, at our fixed shop rate; your bank converts nothing.

Why does shipping abroad cost this much?

Inside the Netherlands a single game fits through the letterbox — A$7.14, 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 A$66.41 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 Cobalt Blue — original Nintendo retro, personally checked.

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 — the same standard as Australia; only the plug shape differs, a travel adapter is all you need. 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 Australia: from A$113.44; no GST or duty on orders up to A$1,000. 30-day returns.

Seen it cheaper elsewhere?

For most titles there’s also a private listing online, sometimes a few euros 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.

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.
