    Man I was gonna go for 150, but this went really high for a grab bag or Box lot, he had a bunch of complete games for sale seperately too, I bet he took out the good boxes. Still this went high I think, maybe there are some goodies in it though.

    NES collecting really has gotten out of hand.

    3 bucks a box, with some real gems at the top of the stacks.. wonder if that was some deliberate stacking though since the seller didn't want to list all of them.

    well I can clearly see bases loaded in the pile, He had metroid, contra, megaman, and lots of others boxed in seperate auctions, so I am sure they are not full of rares, but it would still be fun to see

    365 bucks. I understand the need to complete games but why that much? I guess the winner thought he could just keep what he wanted then sell off the rest.

    Man, there's nothing wrong with buying boxes, but some seller is laughing all the way to the bank. Dude, you overpayed out the ass.

    I've got some boxes I plan to sell soon, I'll be in touch.

    Man!!!!!! I've had this in my watch list since I saw it start and I had no idea it just ended this fuking high. Now the thing is those are beautiful condition boxes and some great games but give me a break! That is just getting way out of line. It's nothing more than a bid war and desperate battle over two or three people who had mad cash to blow. Ridiculous.

    Oh well, guess my idea of getting this one at a good price WENT DOWN THE DRAIN. Didn't even know it was ending =\.

    I emailed the seller. Not included in the picture, but in the lot are all 3 panesian boxes, and a stadium events box.



    IM KIDDING! That would have made a little more sense though.

    PS Mario Allstar, if he flattened the Panesians they are screwed, since they were sold in hard plastic cases stadium events on the other hand could be in there, you never know...

    Possibility is infinity! You must be satisfied!

    yes, probably but people play $1000's for old stamps. At least video game boxes are bigger.

    That's it, I'm listing all of my NES, genesis, and SNES boxes tomorrow. I kid you not. I had been thinking about it for awhile now since they take up so much room and it's stupid to collect them, break them down, and store them.

    So, to ebay they go. I will be keeping all of my other boxes, and a couple of my fav. NES/SNES boxes (rpg's) but those three systems boxes have to go.

    don't expect too much from your Genesis boxes. They don't go for much since their more common.

    Edit: this thread got me thinking I wonder how much Hellvin could get for that SNES box hall he had a while back

    Yes post them here first!

    Actually it kinda sucks when you're missing the box to an unpopular game, nobody figures it's worth selling. :/

    He already made $20 off me for 5 boxes... considering how many he got I might as well have handed him pennies compared to what he could sell the rest for.
