I don have a large budget so it will take me a while todo much. I don’t have my soldering iron back yet either.
What should be my order of action here? Should I start with battery or backlight? I also have pokemon blue on the way.

$80??? 🫠
I’m not in the retrogaming scene, is that normal for a GBC?
About average, I mainly wanted to purchase from a local shop though to support business. It’s a common date night spot for my gf an I bc they have a small collection of cabinets and pinball machines to play at the shop too.
Unfortunately it is! It’s become an expensive scene.
$80 is definitely a high price. If you buy a GBC from eBay or Craigslists etc on any given day I’d expect to pay around $80.
However, if you’re monitoring market places like Facebook or Reddit, you’ll come across them for like $30-40 by people who just want to get rid of them. It might take a few days of waiting to come across one but it happens regularly you just have to be quick and have multiple payment options ready.
I’ve bought a few GB-GBAs recently and I’ve never paid more than $45 for one. I probably average $30 or $35 because I buy multiples.
If you live in a metropolitan area. In countryside it will take mych more time.
I live in the country in the USA
I got one cheaper on eBay, but it was broken “for parts” that I knew how to fix it cheaply, so really just how much you really, really want one
