Things You’ll Need:

1. Set up a seller's account on eBay by visiting the site and following the instructions.

3. Prepare your product. You have to make sure that all the items that are needed to operate your Game Boy are included. Are you including games? Get all of your items together.
4. Take pictures of your Game Boy. To post an auction on eBay, you will need to have a good picture of the item, so take a few pictures of everything together. Take photos from different angles so that the prospective buyers can inspect your Game Boy
5. Write a description of the item, which should cover everything included in your selling price. Re-read the description for any errors and to make sure it sounds right.
6. Post the auction. You can set a reserve price that will ensure that you get a minimum selling price for your Game Boy.
7. Watch the auction. Your auction will run for a certain amount of time. Just check in on it from time to time to see what's going on.
8. Collect your money when the item is sold. This money will come from the buyer's PayPal account.
9. Ship the item and package your Game Boy securely. Use bubble wrap or packing peanuts so that it doesn't get damaged during shipping. Take the package to the post office or another shipping store.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't forget to take into account shipping costs. You don't want to set a low asking price and then end up paying a lot out of your own pocket in shipping.
• Take out insurance on your product when shipping, if possible. You want to ensure that your Game Boy makes it to its new home intact. A few dollars towards insurance will help you in the long run. Talk to your shipper for more information.
• Don't forget to spellcheck your item description.
