Carts loose, CD games with case and manual. Saturn games, a stack of CD-Rs and my best handwriting.

There only retro game I have in box (other than PS1 and Dreamcast games) is Donkey Kong Country. Yard sale. Five bucks. Best I had was Super Mario RPG. Found it complete in box for two bucks at a pawn shop back in the early 2000s. Sold it when I moved to California and needed money.

Other than those, I would have had cases from buying new SNES games and such, but they're long gone.

Only complete I have are cd based games. Had a couple complete snes games (ff vi, mega man x) but sold them about a year ago. Have manuals for a lot of cartridge games.

when it's the only option or it's cheap enough that i can do it without feeling wasteful, or if the boxes are interesting enough that i'd like to have them. pic related.

I bought a CIB Bangaioh because it was going for cheaper than most of the loose carts I was seeing at the time. Seeing for what its going for now, I'm considering just up and selling the box/inserts alone to break even on the purchase.

This is the way to do it. Although I admit I've collected quite a few loose ps1 discs over the years, mostly stuff that I found in the wild.
>>
>paying 700+ dollars for some boxes and plastic that you'll never actually do anything with

It's just regular hoarding.

CiB isn't NiB, someone tell the honkey in OP's eBay listing.

I try to get genesis games with a case. A manual is a plus.

Most my disc games are cib, these are the only cib cart games I have though. TLoZ classics was a garage sale find, the other two were new purchases.

cardboard costs too much.

Always complete in box, because I don't live under a fucking bridge like some of you poorfags apparently

I own my own home on 7 acres. I am not spending a mortgage payment on a paper booklet and a cardboard box.

Is this reaffirming?

Let the jelly flow through you ;-)

I'm genuinely not jelly. I'd probably just sell that shit to some retard like you.

>the twin snakes

One of the worst remakes ever.

>>3085635
My MOTHER 3 is in way better shape than yours. Nothing to be jelly about.

>>3085589
Shenmue II isn't even hard to get though.

Yes and no. When I buy I get CIB, but I really only buy the JP versions of old games so the price isn't as big of a deal. I still have US NES and SNES games complete from many years ago (I hung onto that stuff when I was a kid).

I rarely buy retail games these days, though.

Not jelly, just pissed a few minutes ago though. Maybe it flowed through me earlier and I didn't notice.

Does buying them, sitting on them until they get ridiculously expensive and then selling them on ebay count?
