Back in the days my sister enjoyed playing Tetris on the Game Boy. A couple of weeks ago I decided to buy her a Game Boy and Tetris and make it part of this year's Christmas present. As I am usually not interested in (vintage) gaming I initially thought that game boys should be cheap. Sure, there are many people who'd like to purchase one for nostalgic reasons. But then again, the supply is probably not small. As it turned out I noticed an interesting, at first sight, paradox pattern: The newer the Game Boy model, the cheaper it was on Ebay. If you think about it it makes perfect sense for the original Game Boy is the most iconic one. Yet it is somewhat counterintuitive that the technically best Game Boy is the cheapest one.

[0] That is Game Boy < Game Boy Color < Game Boy Advacend; the SP wasn't that cheap I think.
