I was about to place a bid on these when I got outbid. But 10 plastic protectors for 82 dollars? come on now. If I knew how to make these, i'd be rich.

Well of course they aren't worth that. Not even close. They usually sell for around 15 for ten.
Do these pop up fairly regularly on Ebay then?Originally Posted by Bronty-2
Not 'regularly' but often enough if you keep your eyes peeled.
Are these official Nintendo? If not, do you know where they come from?
wow thats pretty cool... I didn't know they existed, but since 95% of my games are loose...
I heard that someone that used to frequent these forums a couple years ago sold them for $1 each, but he's gone now. I doubt they are official.Originally Posted by ZidanaX
Yes he did used too. I think he went by the name "buffg" on here and ebay.Originally Posted by Vectorman0
He had, or has a web site at www.nintendo.nerd.com.
Haven't checked it out in a while, I assume it's up and running still, but there has been no updates in like 3 years.
I was lucky enough to by those when they were $1 a piece, as well as sleeve protectors to go along with it. First you put your game in a plastic sleeve, like you would a baseball card, then you put the game in the harder plastic protector that sells alot on ebay now.
They're not worth that much but they're damn near impossible to find. I bought a few hundred about two years ago, ran out and haven't been able to find any more sinse. If anyone knows a place to get them for a reasonable price please let me know.
buff doesn't sell them, anymore... he hasn't been collecting in like two years at least.Originally Posted by NintendoMan
I second. PLEASE if anyone knows where to get them, or even something close to those, please tell us! I need so many of them it's not funny.Originally Posted by Griking
Alright guys... I know where I can get them, but it would take a while to finish and I would want payment up front. If there is enough interest in this I will look into it. Respond to this thread with the # of protectors you would commit to and prepay. Assume they would cost $2.50 each. I think it would definitely be less but don't want to underquote and screw myself and I do know the price of plastics is up lately thanks to the price of oil.
Can you get NES covers? if so, i would like 15 depending on the final price..
depends on interest. I would have to get a big enough order. 15 isn't going to cut it on its own, but enough people are interested in nes I can get that too.. so tell your friends
PM sent.
I know these guys use to carry them a few years back. There website is huge so good luck.

I checked it out, like most places those box protectors are vhs and dvd sized. (too small). There's also an oversized one (too large).
It's confirmed... I can get snes box protectors. I should have a shipment within ten days. I'll see about nes, but probably only after I sell the snes out.
Let us know what the eventual price will be. I suppose the days of me buying them for $.50 each plus a discount for buying them in bulk are somewhat over.
I am going to go with the 2.50 price. Sorry guys but I don't want to get left holding the bag on a $500 (or whatever) loss if they don't sell out and I'm left with inventory.
