I have no idea how much GAME will give you for it, because there isn't any GAME stores where I live! 
But I doubt it'll be much because you can buy them new for about fifty quid.
I was going to buy an SP but decided against it because it looks even more cramp-tastic than the regular GBA (I've never actually held one though, so I don't know).
About the GB Player. As I said in another thread, the GC controller isn't very good for MV (springy shoulder buttons, d-pad in a less than ideal place), if you do buy one you'll need a "Hori Digital Controller".

I just ordered one, so I don't know if there any good yet...

Or just connect your GBA to your Cube with the Link Cable..of course, that would still require batteries for your GBA.

I don't like using my GBA as a pad. I'm not sure why, but no matter how much I tried, I couldn't make any decent times this way. 
EDIT: Oh yeah, I also have a PS>GC converter. It works great, apart from the shoulder buttons. You have to press them down really hard which obviously ruins it for MV.

The D-Pad on the GBA SP looks a lot easier to use as it's a little larger.

I prefer the SP for fzmv (for all the other games it's obvious). I just need one of these japanese packets of tissue they give in the street to put under it cause it's too thin and square angles hurt. (the GBA hurts a different way ).

I've got one of those Hori pads now and I'm impressed. It's much more comfortable than the regular GBA and even a SNES pad. The buttons are very responsive and easy to use. My only concern at first was the D-pad (it's a little stiff), but once I played a game it was great.
So for anybody with a GBP I would defiantly recommend one of these pads, and breaking PR's shouldn't be a problem either.  (Not for me though, cos' I suck badly at this game now. )

」39.99 in GAME.
You could probably find it a few quid cheaper online.

Would the GBP have to be PAL for a PAL Gamecube? Or could I just get any one?

Game Boy Players are all the same. It's just the boot disk which is different. So yes, you do need the PAL version.
