Seems to be a GameTech YPlayer. Cannot find jack on a price though, except one site selling for 20 pounds
 
WIth how little info there is online about this thing, I don't think it will be very easy to sell. However, it looks like a portable console with its own games, so depending on if it works and what games there are in its memory, maybe a collector might be interested. You can try posting it on collector's groups and ask them to make an offer.
 
Looks like your model is called Gametech yPlayer IV specifically and the only info about it I could find was in either Swedish or Finnish so I guess it was something sold in Scandinavia. Found a few listings for it.

Listing 1
Listing 2
 
I never had one of these things, but I recognize some of the games in the video that Graw posted – they were standard Chinese-knockoff handheld games that appeared on loads and loads of cheap handhelds in the late 2000s. I can't imagine this device is worth very much, especially used, because it was likely very common, but you may be able to get a small amount of scratch out of it on eBay if you sell it to a collector (or for parts).

i swear that i've seen at least 2 other knock off game systems with these very same games. the graphics and aesthetics look identical to some of the stuff in projared's, rerez and darklordjadow's vids on knock consoles.
