While I always remove stickers from cases and carts, I usually leave them on boxes. I'm just too paranoid that I'll ruin the box (and I've already ruined enough carts that had stickers over the back paper labels >_< ).

I usually leave the stickers on, even if they are used. I even keep most of my receipts. It's kind of neat knowing how I bought Space Channel 5 used at Software Etc. for $4. Yes, that's one of them. I'm such a nerd.
I only keep price tags on if they are the original retail tags (ie: not Value Village or a discount store) and if they are unusual in some way. Two examples are the $199 price tag on my 42 in 1 NES pirate, and the $99 on my Super Mario 3 box; yes that's right, my Mom was forced to fork out over $100 (with tax) to satisfy her Nintendo-brainwashed son in 1990! But of course, the fact that it's one of the greatest games of all time does soften the blow...

They stay if it's on vintage items, they come off if it's on newer CD/DVD cased games. Typically I leave them on hardware. That's where I see most anyway. Most software came shrinkwrapped so once it's opened alot of times the price tags are lost. Newer games that have tags on the case are typically used games from Gamestop, EB, Game Crazy or whereever, so it's trashy looking I take off. The old games I find with them usually stay on.
Also an odd thing I've seen from time to time, people saving the seal on PSX games, that's wrapped over the top edge of jewel cases, I've found at least a half dozen or so titles where previous owners carefully removed top seal without tearing, and then reapplied to the back of the case!
was that really the retail price? I now know why I had a videogame collectionOriginally Posted by Dr. Morbis

MG Ward went out of business at the end of 2000, closing 250 stores. It's been a while. I remember our old MG Ward TV pretty well. If the old TVs didn't suck so bad I'd like to get one someday from a wierd brand for use with a classic console, that'd have a neat look to it.
Re: Price tags on boxes (for collectors) Do you remove them?
I have one that started at $700 marked down to $36, with about 6 tags covering the original price
Other than that, every game I have has the pirce tag removed. I just don't like them on my games...
On PSX games, I TRY to keep the top-seal thing with the game's name on it (I'll pull it off and stick it on the back), but I always seem to rip it...
I allways keep my recipts with the game soI know how much I ought it for and were I bought it from. Oh and for stickerse on the box if they are not original I remove it with a product called un-du beststuff on earth for that. Only have one inciden were a game was damaged from it. There was a sticker on Michael Jacksons moonwalker so I used the un du but now michael has what looks like a pimple on his face.

Re: Price tags on boxes (for collectors) Do you remove them?
I always leave the top seal as it is on the case. It's easy to get disc and manual out with those PSX cases but with the new DVD cases it gets a bit more difficult.
Heck, if there's a way to get the contents out without breaking a seal, I'll do it, even if it would takes hours.
I once opened Silpheed on PS2 by first undoing the wrapping from the top and taking the case out and then pry out the game from the case. Then I played it and "re-sealed" it. Just to see if it could be done...

Michael with a pimple on his face? Now that would look alien.There was a sticker on Michael Jacksons moonwalker so I used the un du but now michael has what looks like a pimple on his face.

Yes, $99 dollars was the initial price of SMB3 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in early 1990. Of course, I just HAD to have it as soon as it was released.was that really the retail price? I now know why I had a videogame collection of 3 games growing up.

Yeah that's even cooler. It would also be cool to find a 32X that went form $150- $19.99
