    Default replacing broken cases for Sega CD, Saturn and early PS1 games

    Does anyone actually sell replacement cases, or is cannibalizing another game seriously the only way to do this?

    Every now and again cases will show up on ebay, but they are usually so damn expensive. Ive taken to buying up as many joe montanas and nhl hockeys as possible.

    I usually consult the Gamedude price guide and check the ones that are $3 and under and cannibalize them.

    So, any of you guys with a stockpile willing to part with some of it?

    I only need two--one for Silpheed and one for Nights Into Dreams. In both cases its just a broken front hinge needs replacing.

    I'm gonna start getting cheap CIBs off eBay and locally as well, just for days like this. Think I'll invest in a CD Binder as well.

    What I've been doing for years is snatching up dirt cheap sports games on Saturn or CD and just using the cases. There is a local store here that has a trove of factory sealed Sega CD sports games. Not sure where they got them from but, I usually pick them up for 2 bucks a pop just to use the cases.
