    Default What would you do with 3500 empty Sega Genesis game boxes ?

    Official cases with original covers some have instructions some don't.
    15-20% sports titles. You have both the rare and the common.

    Would you sell em as is? Try to match em up with carts and sell em? Trade em away?

    ???

    I'd take my list of games that I need boxes for (about 80-90), take the boxes I need, and sell them to me at $1.25 a pop, and you can keep the manuals if you want. It's a very good plan.

    And I'm quite serious.

    I would build a fort and store all my games there! Heck you could make a game store out of genesis boxes! Oh, you are serious? I would sell them on the bay....lots of work, but with that many boxes it will be nothing but work anyways. I am interested in some, but I would want some names and that is ALOT of work!

    I can only imagine what a nightmare it would be to pick through 3500 units and sell them to individuals here. That said I'd probably like to get a couple of boxes myself...

    Lump them in lots of 50 or 100, with a ratio of sports to regular that would make the pile appealing but help get rid of the sports boxes. List them on ebay at some blowout BIN that looks appealing, immediate payment required maybe. I'd streamline the whole thing by getting boxes that fit the exact number of each lot that you were selling too, make UPS come and pick it up with ground shipping. You'd only have to do this about.. ..35 times.

    Good luck and by the way WHERE IN THE WORLD IS EVERYONE GETTING SO MANY GENNY BOXES?

    Yeah, heck, Id buy some too. I got a lot of loose Genny games that I dont even like having because the simple fact that there loose. Looks like you should set a price, have people list what they want, and then sell em and make crazy money! Even though it would be a lot of trouble.

    But make a game out of it, dump ALL the boxes into a completely empty room in a pile...and when people want the boxes...get naked and dive in the pile to find them! Wait....scratch that idea.

    I could use around 40-50 manuals and around 15 boxes. If you want a list I could PM you one.

    I could use about 20-50 certain boxes and/or instructions. If you are willing, send me a PM, and I will gladly get you a list. Thanks so much (ahead of time)!

    Short answer is..... there is a demand for them. Weather you want to accept want lists.. make an individual list.. or sell em in lots on ebay, they'll sell.

    do you guys know how long it would take him to sort through and find you guys specific boxes? and if you only buy 10 thats only $20 at $2 each.


    I don't know the time vs. profit might not make it worthwhile.


    What I would do would pull out all the rarer boxes and toss those aside and sit on them till you can match up a complete game(which shouldn't be hard for you) and wait for the genny market to kick in.

    THEN dump all the sports and crappy game boxes in lots of 50 to take care of the purchsing cost and clear out some boxes.
