I got a Game Boy Pocket. For $25, I got the system - it's the seethrough clear model - with a purple carrying case cover thing. It's in good but not perfect condition, the screen has a few small scratches but it's pretty minor. I've always thought of the Pocket as kind of pointless -- it's just a smaller Game Boy, after all, with a slightly less blurry screen, and I have the original model and the GB Color (as well as the Advance and Advance SP), but while it probably won't be my top GB of choice... yeah, this thing is kind of nice. Versus the Game Boy Color, I noticed the screen is bigger -- the Pocket is small, but has the same 2.6" screen size of the original GB, while the Color uses a 2.3" screen. You can tell the difference. On the other hand, the small size makes for worse comfort than the original GB -- this thing's small. The battery life is poor as well, with only ~10 hours on two AAA batteries, well below what any other Game Boy model gets. I'll need to get some rechargeable AAA batteries, I've never needed to have any.

Pokemon Stadium 2 - $28, cart only. This is a pretty decent price for this late N64 game, mostly because the label's scratched up. I know you can get this game cheaper on ebay, but how many of those are actual real copies, versus the nearly-identical fakes of pricier N64 games like this that flood that site? Yeah, for a definitely real copy of this game I think this is a fine price.
