Hello all. I'm new here but I have collected Video games for years and have references on other forums such as Digital Press, RFGeneration, and on Ebay.

Recently, 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:

20 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 you have a Nazi for a postal person and they send it postage due, that is your responsibility. I can't imagine it'll be a problem. 

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?"

With no offense to your cause -

isn't this bad for the integrety of the boxes?

The reason I want them is because they give the boxes integrity and will keep the cardboard from bending.

I replied in the DP thread but haven't heard from you yet,lemme know what is what.i am still interested in about 200 of them.

Ok just lemme know about shipping it and so and i'm sure we can work something out.

Actually NES, I posted about European shipping over at DP.  It looks to be prohibitively expensive. 

And for Canadians, I had my shipping dept run the package cost to BC and it was $15-20 extra. I would only charge actual shipping costs to Canada.   FYI. 

Anybody else want some before I place the order? 

Hmm... 50 for me.  Some of my boxes are in desperate need of some posture.

I wouldn't charge any handling.  It would just be the cost to ship to your area of Canada.  I had my shipping dept (at my work) run a ship quote to B.C and it was up to $20 for 3 lbs. 

Please let me know what you'd like to do. 

As far as Gundam and Jedi your orders are taken. 

Anybody else?
