    Default Selling: Pre-Made Universal Game Cases / Collection Boxes for: NES:SNES:N64:GENESIS & More

    So I've started to make cases for my loose games on eBay, and enough people asked me to sell just the boxes so here I am.

    Here's the listing. I can make a case for any Universal game case cover from the cover project. I'm offering price breaks if you buy 5 or more.

    5 or More on Semi Glossy Legal Paper: $7.99 each

    5 or More on Glossy 80 Pound Photo Paper: $8.99 Each

    If anyone wants a specific box made, let me know with a Private Message, or shoot me a message on eBay.

    I'm limited to the box art the cover project can supply me, so if you want to know what's available just have a look at their site.

    http://www.thecoverproject.net/index.php

    If possible I would like to do this OFF of eBay to avoid their fees, but if you must, here's the eBay listing.

    Do you care to elaborate on those price breaks? Let's say someone bought five, or ten, or twenty. What price would they get?

    My cost: $0.65 cents a box, $0.65 cents to print the paper for a box at office depot, $2.00 to ship it, and then ebay and paypal each get $1.00.

    So I'm thinking $8.00 is the lowest I can reasonably go.

    Does that sound like a fair price?

    What if a deal is worked out through here and avoids eBay and their fees entirely?

    $8.00 is still the lowest I really want to go.

    Is that an unreasonable price? I know you can get these boxes really cheap but they only sell them in boxes of 100s.

    I think that's the lowest anyone online is selling them too.

    It just ends up being a very sizable cost when one might be interested in a larger amount of cases. If one is looking for just a couple, it's fine. I'd be wanting more than a couple.

    The demand is definently there though. I don't know if you checked the listing but I've sold 10 already at $10.00.

    so with that in mind, I think 20% off it a good discount since I'm doing it for digitpress.

    The alternative is to spend ($62?) on mediashelfing and buy 100 of them and do it yourself. They do take a week or two to ship though.

    If someone knows a cheaper way to buy the boxes let me know, I wouldn't mind passing on the savings if I could get them in bulk somewhere much cheaper.

    Bumping my topic for feedback.

    What's the most I should charge for these, and is there anything I should change about my listings?

    Anything I could improve?

    Here's another example of one of my listings.

    and here's one I did with the ebay turbo lister.

    I'm honestly thinking of leaning more towards the turbo lister.

    No that's not me, this is my eBay store.

    Frankly, I have no idea how they plan to make ANYTHING at that price. Fees and shipping alone shouldn't make it possible to turn any profit at that price.

    Judging by the low quality pictures and the fact that he has NOTHING else for sale, he probably doesn't know what he's getting himself into selling that cheap.
