Ebay, or Goodwill. I did both: I purchased several old GBA's together in a very cheap lot from a Goodwill that actually sells its wares on Ebay. The only annoyance is that those old first-gen GBA's need so much light, so you have to keep a bright overhead light turned on during play so that everyone can see. It would be a much better experience with SP's, but that would be a little more pricey.
And, for the ultimate experience: you could use Gamecubes in place of GBA's if you have the GameBoy Player installed. I have one GC with the GBPlayer, and it does indeed have a link port just like a normal GBA, so you could take one GC (or Wii) as the master system running the main game, connect it to a large central TV, then set up 3 or 4 stations with a GC (w/ GBPlayer) each connected to their own TV, facing the center. It would be quite a Zelda arcade. Of course, the only crazy part about it is the need for up to 5 TV's -- used GC's are actually pretty cheap, and one could also come by enough GBPlayers if obsessed enough to try this.
But crazy ideas aside, just getting 3 or 4 first-gen GBA's should cost you very little these days if you buy from the right place.
