If (I think it's a matter of if and not when, because I've lost faith) Nintendo decides to bring GBA games to the eShop for purchase, how much do you reckon they would cost?

I'm guessing anywhere between $10 - $15 (in North America).

Given their other eshop prices I'm sure they will find some unreasonably high price point.

I reckon it's $250 or something like that on eBay for an ambassodor 3DS.

Given the price points for GB and GBC games, I'd expect GBA games to retail for £6.30, £7.20 or £8.10 ($7/$8/$9), and I'd be quite happy to pay that for most of them. I don't think we'll see them on Nintendo eShop until after next year, though.

£6.00+ would be a reasonable price looking at GB/GBC prices. Although I doubt Nintendo would release GBA games for the 3DS. If the games do in fact cost that much then buying the 10 ambassador games would cost at least £60.00 - a price which more than makes up for the price drop, especially considering the NES games on top of that (£45+) - which would mean ambassadors get over £100 worth in games for free for a £60 price drop...Nice for ambassadors, but others would probably complain.

I'm feeling more and more that way too. I'm looking into getting a Game Boy Player instead.
