Well, for starters, turn the ones you're not playing off. Turn the ones you're not going to play soon, completely off (not standby).
Remove any removable batteries, place them in a cool, dry place protected from dust and sunlight.

That is a very nice collection. Inspired me to get a handheld. Thank you.

Nothing special, just somewhere where the temperature is constant, and the air is dry.
Go to them every 6 months and boost the batteries.
Other than that, they should last basically forever.

Check to see if there are any stores in your city/town that are used consoles / trading stores. I currently work at one of those stores and I take in old consoles from customers and I test them, clean them, and sell them in my store. You can trust the ones we sell as well since they are thoroughly tested and formatted. Stores like mine usually sell games for the consoles as well so its a pretty neat deal. Better than a pawn shop lol

Great! In my experience, most sellers with a bunch of good reviews are pretty reliable. Good luck with it!

I have nowhere near the confidence to even clean the parts of my own pc, let alone build an entire Gameboy :P Thanks for taking the time to reply, I found what I was looking for :)

I was looking for a Gameboy sp for my brother's birthday (we grew up playing Pokémon gold on one). I found a great deal on Facebook(it's even the same colour as the one we used to have✨). Thanks a ton for the idea :)

It's true that I didn't search for a lengthy period of time, I just looked for low shipping prices, but I found what I was looking for on Facebook. Thanks for the advice tho~
