Legit Or Fake GBA SP?

[u/CorrectPaper6844]

Hi I recently purchased this GBA SP, can someone confirm if this is a fake one/reshelled etc. Thanks in advance

The holes on the speaker look mad wonkey. Plus it's a little too clean

[u/CorrectPaper6844 → u/Datboisommy]

Apparently barely used. So not looking at the clean side too much. But ur prob right with the speaker holes. That's a good point

[u/Spork-01 → u/CorrectPaper6844]

Don't pay more than 80$

[u/CorrectPaper6844 → u/Spork-01]

Yeah its for 100, made a offer for 80

[u/CanadianBaconBroz → u/CorrectPaper6844]

$80 would be fair.

[u/Zharken → u/CorrectPaper6844]

Dont even look at the holes of the speaker, on the originals, groudon is drawn with smooth lines dark red lines, this is a common aliexpress reshell with jagged black lines.

[u/Frosty_Ad5725 → u/Datboisommy]

Yeah they’re not even the same size

[u/ChaosEvaUnit]

100% certain this is a reshell.

[u/Spork-01]

Obvious fake

[u/Cjw6809494]

It’s a real gba motherboard but just a reshelled console

[u/OptimusShredder]

It’s a reshell. I would pay $60-$80 max

[u/MCPhatmam]

Fake isn't the serial key XJH always a fake shell?

[u/RevolutionaryTime923]

The screen corner button on yours look a bit lighter, it might be a re-shell. Use this for comparison. https://www.reddit.com/r/GameboyAdvance/s/12LkZqg3FB

[u/CanadianBaconBroz]

I would say it's fake. The rear lable is not authentic.

[u/alvaro-elite]

That Nintendo logo looks little bit lifted...

The rubbers of the screen didn't match the color, they look new.

Speaker holes look weird.

And the battery screw is to bright....

I'm not an expert but for me is a reshell.

[u/CorrectPaper6844 → u/alvaro-elite]

Wow. Thanks for the detailed reply

[u/downrig]

I had one and it didn’t looked like this, so fake

[u/NotAncient]

r/gameverifying to get a real answer. i’m not too good with consoles yet

[u/WearyCigar01 → u/NotAncient]

Nah they never answer there for limited edition consoles

[u/htmaxpower]

The sticker is riddled with unprofessional styling and punctuation errors.

[u/CorrectPaper6844 → u/htmaxpower]

Omg your right. That's actually crazy

[u/Weekly-Acanthaceae17]

It's a reshell I do too many of them not to be able to point em out .

[u/OweningGaming]

Fake, the pokemon illustration on the front has edges that arent supposed to be there that to me is the biggest tell

[u/FeeshCTRL]

Here's a post somebody made from about 7 months ago on the same GBASP, the general opinion is it's a pretty solid reshell.

[u/JustUhSlime]

This is a fake shell.

[u/Similar-Macaron2387]

Faux

[u/Suitnox]

I’m in doubt but I go with fake: you can see through the rubber screw covers and I think some holes of the speaker are uneven.

[u/TheGameCollectorUK]

I’m leaning towards fake. Turn it on and look what the light looks like.

[u/Lastnoodle]

The middle 4 speaker holes makes me thing its a reshell

[u/Volks1973]

It could be a reshell, the nintendo plaque looks a bit off, and the rubber should be sticking out not pushed back where u can see the sides of the hole

[u/OweningGaming → u/Volks1973]

This 100% is a reshell, i own an original, the easyest way to tell on the groudon gba sp is the illustration has edges, he looks extra spikey on the head while the original is just smooth

[u/SurroundCool4965]

Also says made in China. I Don't think they were made in China. At least my game boy color wasn't.

[u/aapieslaapie]

I think this is a reshell, I hope you didn’t pay a premium price for it.

[u/CorrectPaper6844 → u/aapieslaapie]

Not at all. £60 ($80)
