    Default NES Box Styro Inserts for Sale. Shipping daily.

    So, I bought a large lot of NES games in the box but they didn't include the styrofoam inserts.

    Without the styro, the boxes lack rigidity and structure (at least in my estimation).

    When I looked on Ebay I found that with shipping they were going for 66 cents each.

    Therefore, I am contracting with a local professional styrofoam company to create replica styro inserts for NES boxes. However, the minimum order would be 1000 pieces and I don't need that many.

    I'm hoping that several of you would buy some so I can meet or exceed the minimum order. I am NOT really making money at this at all, simply recouping my costs for purchasing, boxing, and shipping these.

    The prices would be as follows:

    25 to 49 pieces would be $0.40 each.
    50 to 99 pieces would be $0.32 each.
    100 to 149 pieces would be $0.26 each.
    150 to 199 pieces would be $0.22 each.
    200+ pieces would be $0.18 each.


    Equivalent trades might be considered as well.


    This INCLUDES shipping and handling via Media Mail. I'm going to put a blank CD in each package with the styros as "packing material."

    If I get pre-orders that total significantly higher than 1000, I will pass on any savings to the buyers.

    I accept Paypal and will not expect payment until I have the styros in hand (about a week after I order) and am ready to ship.

    So, to quote Duke Nukem, "Who wants some?"

    Well, I had no idea someone had done this before, but I'm already up to my thousand minimum order.

    Who else needs some?

    I'm responding to a question I got.

    What size are you using?
    I took several genuine inserts out of my boxes and the sizes were all about:

    .6875" X 1.5" X 4.6875"

    Anyone else want some? I'll be putting the order in later this week.

    When I ordered them i got:

    3/4" X 1 9/16" X 4 11/16" or 1.9 cm X 3.9 cm X 11.9 cm

    Do you plan on ordering some "thin" ones for rpgs? If not I still have a few hundred of them.

    Guys, I can't imagine that shipping to other countries would be cost effective for anyone. Perhaps those on the other side of the pond should get them done there as a group?

    If shipping is around $20 I dont mind. But if its like close to $50 I would have to pass.

    These arent very heavy, but how much space does 200 takes? Maybe dropping down to 100 pieces instead would save much shipping.
    Anyway you can find out how much it will cost to send to Europe?

    For comparison sake, I asked our shipping dept to determine the cost to ship 3lbs to England. The price was just under $70 so I'd say international shipping is out.


    Anybody else want these? I'll be putting the order in on Monday.

    And for Canadians, I had my shipping dept run the package cost to BC and it was $15-20 extra. FYI. Anybody else want some before I place the order?
