I would help you but I really cant understand you,

[Jumpman Jr.]

I think I understand you (after reading your post about 6 times), but I don't know what you want us to do.
The cart has black stuff on it, and he thinks you spilt a drink on it. It doesn't look like you did, but if the guy wants a mint copy of Earthbound, looks like you are out of luck.

OK, let me see if I'm understanding this. To me it sounds like your trying to say that you're giving him a mint but loose copy of Earthbound and $45 for a spit upon and scratched but complete copy of Rez for the PS2? Is that about right?

As much as I hate to admit it its probably a fair deal as long as Rez plays well. Complete copies usually go from around $70-$100 on eBay (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&from=R10&fstype=1&catref=C6&satitle=rez+-vibrator+-dreamcast+-import&sacat=1249%26catref%3DC6&bs=Search&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=06355&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search). Unless you're patient and don't mind looking for a better deal for a while I'd say go for it.

Oh but tell the other person that you want to be able to spit on the Earthboard cart forst just to make it even LOL (j/k)

sorry about my grammer he didnt spit on it he spilt sometype of drink on it and almost all of the back is wavy because of it

The deal isn't too bad, but frankly, I would remove the black marks from your cart; might be able to get you a couple of bucks less in the trade... (either surgical spirit or TIM-clean(CPU cleaner) seem to work well for these things)

Don't tell anyone, but I've had some quite good results with a normal household iron in un-waving pages.... (no I have no idea how to use an iron, would you mind ironing my shirts? :P)

It wasn't for a game, but a coursework I didn't feel like re-writing.

-Take one or two HEAVY books (phone directories work well).
-Cover with 5 or 6 sheets of white paper, as clean as possible.
-Put paper to be de-waved between them
-Cover with another 5 or 6 sheets of white paper
-Iron on a low setting, no steam

If it doesn't work, spary the wavy page with a mister, and iron again, NO STEAM!

Temperature wise, start low and slowly go up.

thanks for the help i would problely spilt some water on another case art for a lesser game to try it first and the methods you described to remove the black paint sound a little expensive and got any secrets for scartch on games :D

LOL, this quote box is getting a little long...

But yes, I do have a little trick for minor scratches on games; I actually got this from a car forum I'm a member on (mbclub.co.uk, HIGHLY recommended :) ). If you get your hands on some grey car scratch wax, (NOT polish, too shiny) and gently rub it into the scratch. When the wax has filled the scratch, take a cloth (something soft, but not overly so, an old t-shirt does the trick) and wipe it over, so it becomes smooth. Next, before the wax has fully settled, put a single layer of the cloth over you thumb and press down onto the scratch; this should give the newly applied wax a "rough/dotted" surface, kind of like the game already has (I'm assuming for N64 games, some games will need funky material to match the pattern...)

NOTE this doesn't "remove" the scratch, but merely fills it a little! Hence it would be immoral to sell the game as unscratched, you should mention that it is scratched but filled in. Also, this isn't really a lasting process, after about a year or two (assuming the game rests on a shelf behind a glass like mine do) you will need to repeat the process. Finally, don't rub too much, or you will have a cart that looks shiny...

Apart from the above, all I can recommend is use the cart as a "trade" cart, and buy one without scratches... Scratches are REALLY hard to get rid off. I've heard of quite a few resins that I'm told work well, but I still haven't found one that hardens slowly enough to permit one to smoothen it, while hardening to a "dull" finish; (oh and that doesn't stick to the material you use to make the rough pattern...

I have also thought of removing the label and putting it onto another cart, but this hasn't proved successfull yet :roll:

As always, try on a doorstop cart before going onto your prized possession.

no one is on my team for my opinion of this game, but i would say dont do it. i did not enjoy this game at all.

clean up the cart and sell it on ebay, then go buy some ice cream.

i dont really not much about car wax but rez is a blue disc does that matter at all

[Spartacus]

The printed DP guide values Earthbound cart at $25. The last issue of Video Game Collector values Earthbound cart at $55 and values a complete PS2 Rez at $40. Maybe those figures can help you decide.

I know the PS2 Rez gets crazy on Ebay, but the Dreamcast version, which I understand to be quite good, is reasonably priced if you don't mind playing imports. I know many people have spoken about the PAL version of Rez for the Dreamcast. Whether it works fine with a modded Dreamcast or with an import boot disk, I don't know. I choose the JPN Dreamcast version of Rez and picked up one on Ebay new for $30. Since Rez is a rail shooter, perhaps language won't pose much of a problem for you. Something to consider anyway.

For those black markings on your Earthbound cart I would recommend trying Magic Eraser. It's a product I learned about on this board and it has done wonders for me.

[tornadostormxl]

where is this guide at and i tohught rez was worth 80

[Griking]

I'll buy every copy of Rez that you want to sell me for $40 each.

[tornadostormxl]

i dont even got a copy of rez

[qbertandernie]

scratch the ice cream statement...sell the cart on ebay and enroll in an english as a second language course.

because i hope to hell english is not your first language.

[tornadostormxl]

thanks for the help guys

[Bluteg]

I think your getting ripped off, bro.

Clean that Earthbound with a Magic Eraser and sell it if you wish. Mr. Clean does wonders. The difference in selling your Earthbound and finding another GOOD condition (which is far from mint) Rez is much less than $45.
