what is the going rate for boxes these days?

mrhaboobi · 02/25/2010, 08:01 PM

Depends they do vary greatly in terms of condition and game. Anywhere from a couple of bucks up to .??? magical chase box of course has a higher price. Im keen for boxes as is roy, and i can say that recently i bought some very mint items for harder to get games for around $15 - 20.. if you have some to sel/trade id be keen to hear from you if roy doesnt want em..

It honestly depends on the buyer and how much they want them. I personally want them pretty bad.

I am willing to go higher/a shitload higher than mrhaboobi mentioned depending on the condition and what game the box is for. Send me a PM if you have any I need.

That's a loaded question. Some are dirt cheap, but there's a handful that are just damn tough to find so the price is all over the place for those.

King_Vidiot · 02/25/2010, 08:14 PM

Ah, okay. I need a bunch (sorry guys), definitely a lot of common ones (alien & devil crush, galaga 90, dragon spirit etc) and I wouldnt be looking for anything mint, more like "is able to keep roughly a box shape"

edit: Were there multiple versions of Vasteel? RoyVegas' picture shows a fat double cd case, but mine is just a regular one (with the blue vasteel on the spine etc). Did the single case one come with a box too?

Only came in double case form I believe. Did come with an outer cardboard sleeve/cover originally too.

King_Vidiot · 02/25/2010, 11:28 PM

strange, maybe someone cobbled together the single case I have? seems pretty legit though

Turbo D · 02/25/2010, 11:37 PM

It would be very easy to put the manual and back cover insert into a single cd jewel case: you got hosed! Hope you didn't pay the outrageous price it seems to go for (e.g. like $60+.)

RoyVegas · 02/26/2010, 01:10 AM

Quote from: turbo D on 02/25/2010, 11:37 PMyou got hosed!

This would be correct, it only came in a double case. Sorry to hear someone bit ya on it.

King_Vidiot · 02/26/2010, 01:49 AM

I just looked back in my gmail and found the auction. My vasteel was advertised as "COMPLETE rare". I paid $18.50 + $3.50 shipping for it. This was on 1/8/08 so a little over 2 years ago.

It looks like I got taken for a ride on a couple of auctions back then, advertised as COMPLETE when none of them came with boxes. I paid $11.80 for a "complete" Ninja Spirit, and $2.50 for a "complete" Silent Debuggers. A couple were actually complete: $.99 for Sim Earth, $10.50 for Dungeon Master, and $31 for Dragon Slayer w/ Map.

Looking further back, it looks like I paid $375 shipping included for my duo w/ 14 games (all with manuals and cases but no boxes), and then a litter later paid $255 for a lot of 36 games (manuals & cases, no boxes again).

Seems a bit high now, but I've played the hell out of it all so I guess I cant complain.

mrhaboobi · 02/26/2010, 03:58 AM

high in todays market i dont think you would find that sort of pricing.. im kinda sick of ebay ( no surprise ) too many resellers and too many over priced games.. lots of sealed stuff flooding the market and yet prices havent dropped..

RoyVegas · 03/04/2010, 09:16 PM

Bump, still looking for boxes.

Still looking for the last few....

RoyVegas · 04/27/2010, 05:09 PM

Update: Down to two boxes and two inserts. It's rather early to be bumping it for no reason but since I removed most of the list the update was necessary.

Dalder · 04/27/2010, 06:10 PM

Will check to see if I have an extra Talespin poster but I doubt it but will check anyways.

mrhaboobi · 04/27/2010, 06:10 PM

does that mean the boxes i was after from dalder have gone?

If those were Bonk 3, Bomberman '93 and Jackie Chan then yes.

There was only a Double case version. You must have purchased a preowned copy where the former owner replaced the Double case for a single case to conserve space. The same thing happened to me with my original copy of Beyond Shadowgate. The seller listed it as being complete but it arrived in a regular jewel case without the poster. I later got another copy in double sized jewel case with the poster.
