Ever wonder what happened to the sleeves from the NES games you just bought on Ebay?

This is good that they are readily available, but bad when you think about a seller who is so stingy that they hoard them to sell later...

Never mind, just had to rant... LOL

I guess that's being stingy, but when you think about it, the inclusion of a dust sleeve probably has no effect on the price of a game's auction, so if he can pick up an extra 100 bucks every now and then from setting aside the dust sleeves, then of course he is gonna do it.

At a $100 BIN it better be an immediate payment auction before the crazy bidder changes his mind.

Mmmm,bin at $100 is overrated i think, $40 incl.ship sounds ok,still i wouldn't buy stuff like that, better to buy your games complete then.

I think I'd rather go custom and save some money. 100$ for sleves? Just how many games can anyone else buy with that much money? Why not start selling the foam parts that go in the box as well?

I remember when my local game shops still sold those dust sleeves for 25 cents a piece, I never had the foresight to get more than what I needed at the time. Somehow have enough now though.

Can't say I blame the seller, if he included one with every game about 70% of the time the buyer would just toss it or lose it.
