Kind of need to vent on this find, as I ended up turning it down after some bullshit.
I went to the only game store near me that has anything older than PS2 today while I was on break from work. Right when you walk in, there's a bin of PS1 and N64 games. Some of the N64 games are in generic cases and some are in original boxes, but most of it isn't anything I ever want so I never bought any N64 games from this place. I've bought tons of other stuff though; hang out on a semi-regular basis and chat with the owner/manager about all kinds of game nonsense.
Anyway, I take a look in the bin today and there's a copy of Majora's Mask Collectors Edition CIB for $10. Now, I've already got MM:CE but it's just the cartridge, so I was gonna buy this and sell my other one even though I collect very few games in box as far as older systems go (just the favorites, mostly). He keeps all the carts behind the counter, so you bring the box up and he'll find the matching cart (in case someone steals the case, only to find out there's no game in it later...).
I set the box on the counter, he fingers through the row of games and pulls up two copies of MM - one NFR and one with the whole hologrammy whatever label. Since I already have the CE cart, I thought about taking the NFR but it was in kinda shoddy condition, so I went with the CE. He rings it up, and gets a bag then tosses the cart in with my receipt and hands it to me, with the box now sitting behind the counter.
I'm like "uh...I don't get the box?" and he's like "No?" as if I were crazy or something. I told him "that's pretty much the only reason I wanted it, I already have the damn game" and so he goes "well I'll just return it then." So he gave me my money back and I just walked out totally baffled. I don't even remember what sort of two-bit explanation he gave, but I will certainly let him know what I think of this bullshit.
I'm taking some duplicate 360 games I have that are disc-only up there to trade them in tomorrow, except I'll put them in the cases I have for my other copies. And when I get there, I'll set the games on the counter, and unload each disc into a small pile and ask him how much.
"Huh? What about the cases?"
"Well - what about them? You don't sell them anyway, right?"
Then when I go to get Fable II this month, I'll act like I'm totally shocked to get "the case and everything." I'm just stewing over this and coming up with as many nonsense smart-ass antics as I can to show him what I think.
