Labels

[kainemaxwell]

Do clean or unbent game labels persuade your purchase, especially if its a rpg?

no, i prefer the labels to be covered in a funky smelling brown sticky goop and covered in cat hair, then i know i must have it.

I only buy complete games in good to near mint condition, except when it comes to rare games. Even for a NWC 90 cart I would pay WAY less if it was missing its label, I'm just weird that way.

I prefer my things to be in excellent condition, and usually try to make purchases that show this. Sometimes though, you gotta take a chance, and then hopefully you can fix whatever might be wrong with it cosmetically.

Reason asked is cause I came across this FF3 auction and thinking of hitting it (hopefully stay cheap), but the label quality has me iffy:

dude that label is screwed... but if you get it for about 5-9 bucks its still worth it.. i guess

[Nesmaster]

well, if the label is messed up and i think the price is to high, i'll pass. if its very cheap, with a messed label i'll buy it, and wait until i find a mint/better copy for cheap

[tholly]

if the label only has minor damage i will get it....anything more than some minor damage and i pass it up....


now, if i found an NWC90 or Hot Slots with a bad label for cheap, i would never pass it up...but for more normal games...if its shit, i leave it

[pookninja]

if the price is cheap.and its a game you want to buy for playing purposes,not just collecting,then go for it.i will buy a game i really want to play and own if the label is messed up or if its not in the best cosmetic shape,but of course,i would perfer everything minty fresh.

it really depends on the game, if it cheap hell yeah!!! and if it's pricy like i said it really depends on the game.

Typically, I try to stick with great+ condition labels (no peeling or writing). If its a common I've been interested in for a while with a trashed label, and a few bucks cheaper, I'll generally pass. Buf its rarer game with a trashed label significantly below market value, I'd grab it.

I would also spend $5 on the FF3.

I'll buy dirty games but ones without labels or huge scratches would have to be a damn good game.

Compltely off-topic, but this reminded me of this:

Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' motherfuckin' pig.

Man, that was a great movie.

[Neonsolid]

Gone.

How was my reply off topic i stated that games with ripped labels can hinder my purchase and thats what the original question asked.

NO, what I posted was completely off-topic!

[Neonsolid]

Gone.

Well, it didn't use to bother me, but then I realized that over half my SNES collection had bad labels (what's up with that, anyways? SNES games always seem to be in worse condition than any other console games I've come across. But that's neither here nor there.)

Now, when I buy games, I always make sure the label is mint. In fact, it dissauded me from a couple of purchases even today.

SMS labels are a sin against nature (when they go bad...) =P
