Well OK.. not really.. they're polyvinyl plastic game box sleeves/covers for your SNES; Genesis and N64 games, but if that isn't "protection" for your games.. then what is? ;)

I'm putting in an order tomorrow for another 1000 of these and they will be arriving next Monday.

These will be sold in lots of 100 ONLY! Cost is a flat-price and INCLUDES S&H for a lot of 100.

Lot of 100 to anywhere in the US = $100

Lot of 100 to anywhere in Canada = $110

Lot of 100 to Europe & Overseas = $125

That's it.. plain & simple. It was just too much of a hassle divying these up into smaller lots last time; and figuring everyone's individual postage. I can drop 100 of these in a flat-rate priority envelope and mail within the US for about $10 so domestic shipments will be via priority. All others will be sent Airmail Parcel Post (up to 10 business days ETA). I have found that overseas shipments are averaging between $25 to $35; hence the extra $25.

These will be sold ONLY in lots of 100 (no discounts for more.. sorry.). I will start taking pre-orders and payment immediately. The reason I held off on collecting monies the last time was I wanted to see if my source was reliable first. The first shipment arrived last week; and has already been sold out, and shipped so I feel confident in the delivery and quality of the ittems now that I've seen them. They will be sold on a first come; first paid; first served basis until they are gone. Any left over will go on eBay in smaller lots.. but at a substantially "raised" price/starting bid.

For pictures (& description) of them.. please refer to this post:

.. and look for my pics of them. Please keep in mind that the pictures I took were of a very used, worn out one. The ones I am selling are identical to this one (in fit and size) but are brand new and ship flat, unfolded.

Please PM me with your amount and where they would be shipped to. I will PM you back with a total and payment info (PayPal only.. sorry). I CANNOT put these on reserve for someone.. and wait for payment beyond this weekend. Please also bear in mind it will take another week or so beyond next week before they get to you.

I may put new pictures up of some of the new ones now guarding MY collection.. if I get the time later.

Thanks to all for your time & attention.

Are these actually made of "polyvinyl," also know as PVC?

PVC stands for Polyvinyl Chloride.. which is what plastic pipes are made out of. These are just Polyvinyl.. the clear plastic from which PVC is derived.

They're made from the same stuff used in "blister packaging".. only a little bit thinner.

I'm aware of what Polyvinyl Chloride is, and actually it is used a lot of things other than just plastic pipes, such as baby toys, LP records, vinyl siding for a house, credit and debit cards, and even some VHS and VG cases. The name "ployvinyl" means that it's NOT just a simple plastic, but implies that it's a COMPOUND of polymerized vinyls, of which PVC is the most common. Also, polyvinyl chloride IS used in making blister packs. That's why I was asking.

What are the dimnensions?

Measuring a flat one; they are 7 1/8 in long by 3 3/4 in wide by 1 1/4 in deep. You see that picture of the Metal Marines box above? It's in one! A SNES box fits perfectly.. it does not flop around or have any extra clearance anywhere. Mind you.. that's not to say they don't slide in easily.. because they do.. there's just no empty space around the box.

These fit SNES boxes guys; and Genny boxes and N64 boxes.. all the same size.. all the same fit. They are NOT the slightly oversized ones that Bronty and others are selling on eBay right now. Those were slightly oversized to fit the "Display Boxes" video game dealers used back in the SNES days (You know.. the slightly bigger SNES boxes that had a BIG "For Display Only" emblazoned across the front) like illustrated here:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8265988733

THOSE boxes were used by video game sellers. THESE boxes were used by video game rentals. The owner would buy a SNES game (whether off the shelf or through a distributor) and then remove the box insides (game, manual & cardboard insert) and usually.. replace it with a styrofoam block. He would then seal it up and put the empty box on the shelf so that people could read about the game.. but couldn't steal it.

I don't know what more to tell anybody about them (We went through this the last sales round). They're clear, semi-rigid plastic, they're rectangular.. and they FIT SNES, Gen, N64 boxes. That's it. The ONLY SNES box I haven't been able to fit in them so far is the Earthbound box (obviously) I've even fitted my slightly "bulging" FF III box in them (with it's manual and two posters) just fine.
