This Sega Game Gear was one of the most antique and non-famous portable game systems... only 100 in the world made... comes with a garfield game for childen... starting price is $50

non-famous? I doubt that there are many people (at least those with an even slight interest in video games) who havent heard of a GG.

only 100 in the world made? According to gaming-age 1.78m units were sold in Japan and 6.87m units were sold in other countries.

So whose gonna bid first? Race you!!

Ya, but that's the "Collectors Edition" you're looking at :)

I love the Game Gear... you can find them at yard sales for like $5 with games, which makes it one of the best gaming values out there.

Gee, I've owned at least ten or more Game Gears over the years. I've owned 10% of the entire production run. ;)

the game gear is still one of the best, even if it did look abit silly playing it with the master system converter thing

I still prefer the Nomad to the GG. My Nomad gets about ten times the play as my GG, but then I have a ton of Genesis games and only a handful of GG games.

Yeah, but the Nomad can't be found for $5 at a yard sale now.  I've been to thousands of yard sales in the last few years, not one Nomad.

No, that's true. The few times I've come across one in the wild, they still command prices in the $50 - $80 range - condition dependant.

It probably comes with the external battery pack:

Adds an extra 15 minutes of play time. ;)

I just hook mine up to my Delorean, get up to 88mph, and boom, the Nomad works.
