I had a gbc version like the first link I sold a few years ago. But I thought I would try a gba version this time. Except on ebay they are so expensive now. Even a loose one is 48 right now. No other cheat device is that expensive. Even nes game genie are still 12 bucks. And gbc sharks are cheap too.

 

So why are gba sharks so expensive?

Never had a GBA Gameshark (I've got a original Game Boy one though) but did have a GBA Action Replay. However I don't use cheats anymore.

So why are gba sharks so expensive?

Short answer, because systems from about a decade ago onward ruined the chances of hardware hacking devices to exist (where most-sophisticated anti-piracy checks are done - firmware updates, DLC, virtually all gameplay existing online, those can all play a role here). So the market for modern HW devices dried up. Worst, the ones made toward the end often had insufficient QC...so the existing working ones are getting more rare as time progresses.
