I dont know how many people see these floating around ebay or not, but there are these clear cases that are excellent protectors for SNES/NES/Genesis Boxes (probably others as well). I got one from an auction, and loved it... after finding out how much the only seller was selling them for, I figured why not find the supplier and do a group buy. I want to get about 50 myself, but the more I get the better price I can get.

The dimensions of the case are: 5 3/8" x 1 1/2" x 7 3/8" and they are made from clear High Density PVC, lignin free. Have pop-top and bottoms. Pretty solid case.

Here is how I want to work this, Ill do everything from ordering to shipping them out. They will be .57 each, or 100 for $55.00 thats a pretty solid deal. If I can get a 1000 piece order it will be .47 each, and if I can get a 5000 piece order it will be .37 each. These prices will be for EVERYONE. If you order 10 and there is a 5000 piece group buy, guess what you get your 10 for $3.70.

Shipping will be via priority mail and dependent on the number you order. Generally, for larger orders I will ship them flat rate priority mail, $9.95. Smaller orders will be priority mail, from $4.60. This way there are DC's for everyone! I choose to ship priority, which does add a tad bit to the cost, to protect everyone from long transit times and to give DC's. Its the only way to fly. If you want to ship first class, and want to order just a handful, I can do that as well, just keep in mind first class doesnt have DC's.

So that I dont get stuck with a lot of "I want in" and no follow through, I will do pre-orders via paypal and wont ask extra for fees. This also helps me do a simple batch mailing as well! If you want to be a part of this, please PM and then Ill send you a paypal invoice. I'm going to bump this for about a week, potentially more depending on interest levels!

Thanks! And, please check my feedback... i strive to be upright buisness person when I do trades, buys, sells, etc. I am more than willing to give you as much info as needed to give you piece of mind.

So far have 100 total pre-ordered. The order will be placed 11.19.2007 so there wont be a huge waiting time for the group buy to finish, it will be done at whatever number is there at the time. Thanks Mayhem for locking the other thread that went horribly down the wrong path.

I'm not sure what your deal is man, you keep posting this stuff like I gouge people on the prices. After shipping I make a very minimal profit for the ones I sell on the boards. I'm not one bit ashamed of my prices even after you give out a source to buy them, they are about the same unless you want to order 1000's of them. Now the ones on ebay are overpriced for sure, but thats ebay.

I'd like to see you buy 5000 pieces worth of inventory and take 8-9 months to sell it and turn zero profit, be my guest. Guess this is the thanks I get for trying to cut people a break on the cost.

Go ahead with your group buy and best of luck with it. My services are no longer available here.

I read a few of your posts Dragon Warrior Jasen, and think you're hilarious. I rarely post on DP anymore and only come here around once every two months just to see what people are posting about...I usually find less than 10 topics that are remotely worthwhile to look at.
Have you ever tried to do a group buy of something? It doesn't work. Ask CUEWarrior who got stuck with a giant sum of styrofoam inserts when he bought them after most of the people who expressed interest in them backed out. Ask atmwood when he bought a large amount of box protectors and almost everyone that expressed interest in them suddenly didn't want to pay the prices of what he was offering them for. You are very foolish to think that someone would put their own money forward to buy a massive amout of these and sell them for cost to make $0 profit on them. By the way, I've contacted this company in the past and they won't do small individual orders. How about you put your money up, buy a min. 5000 pc. order and ship them to everyone who wants some at cost...be sure not to add any money for what it costs for you to ship them out because that would be screwing people over right?

Have fun,

:popcorn: This has been great fun to watch.


I just can't help pointing out one thing to those of you that are pissy w/ DWJ: If you believe what you've written, and are as mad at him as you seem to be, wouldn't it be 'best' to keep your traps shut and let him learn the hard way??? Personally I wish both DWJ and JaB all the best in your endeavors.

Everyone needs to start minding their own business with these NES box protectors immediately. If not, I am going to have to come up with something to stop this nonsense, such as declaring that anyone involved isn't allowed to post about them anymore.

5 Days left. There is a HUGE order for 600 coming in! I'll probably throw for the other 400 just to get it at the 1000 piece rate.

Pricing of various items in game collecting is all in the would-be buyers view. I don't understand the spending that goes on regarding numerous items. Anyway, my thing is let the buyer beware. Not every consumer is created equally (whether it be funding or tolerance of pricing or whatever).
