GBA trade-in price?

    Anyone know what Game or GameStop's trade-in value is for a GBA (not SP), boxed with all manuals etc?

    Trying to figure out whether it'll be cheaper to get a DS Lite from them with the GBA in part exchange, or just order the DS Lite from play.com (€160 delivered) and see what I can get for the GBA on eBay (probably about €40 on a good day, if I chuck in the accessories I've got lying around)...

    Play wouldn't deliver high-price electronics outside the UK when I was shopping for a Creative Zen a few months ago, so you might be out of luck if you want a DS Lite from them.

    Thanks for the heads up. I just tried sticking one in my basket with my Irish delivery address and took it to the just-before-payment stage without getting any complaints, but we'll see when the time comes I guess.

    I'd rather buy it from Game and get the points on my reward card to be honest, just have a feeling they'll be either (a) woefully under-supplied and/or (b) more expensive.

    Does anyone know why Game have added the extra tenner on their price? It makes no sense. And iirc you get like 30 for an SP but don't quote me on that.

    Game are selling the DS Lite for €109 if you trade in your SP at the same time, just a pity I haven't got one...

    I ordered the DS with Mario Kart pack from them at Christmas, and they delivered it no problem. It's counted as a game rather than electronics on their site it seems.
