"It's BRAND NEW - only opened and used once."

[ReddMcKnight]

I got this at GameStop today. Originally marked at 70 US Dollars, and knocked down to 20, I got it for 15 because the outer box was "damaged". In reality, it was just the tiniest bit beat-up, and someone cut the seal on it (not even all the way!). That being said, it was brand new, and came with the Game, Book, Move Controller, and Move Camera.

Hardly mint. I'd say good or okay, but definitely not mint.

Ahhh...alrighty.

Anyway, the book that comes with it has some really thick pages. Like, cardboard-box thick.

sorry, i wasn't aware that games needed to be sealed VGA 95+ until you were allowed to be happy about how good it's condition is. i've never seen an SNES game that looked in such good condition locally before, especially CIB. i'll keep my finds to myself then if everyone is going to be negative about them.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Aww...
I'm lucky if I get sunfaded Genesis boxes here most of the time. It's a good looking box - don't get us wrong. People are just picky about conditional words.

The find was awesome, and so was the price. I didn't mean to diminish it. I was simply trying to correct your description as you used an inappropriate word to describe it.

Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone have any tips for returning that Big Nose Freaks Out to its original state of goldy luster? I doubt it's possible but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

It's paint, so unless you wanted to strip the cart and repaint it, I don't know any way.

I heard if you rub a copy of Silent Service against another cart it fully restores it

This method works great for disc-based games.  Covers up all the old scratches.

Replace the shell, peel and reapply the sticker?

- CIB QuizKid Speller handheld, $3.59: I'm guessing this was National Semiconductor's attempt to break the Speak & Spell's stranglehold on the market. And while we're getting on the topic of fixing things...

...perhaps someone could recommend an adhesive?

ANYway, I'll leave you with a little something no self-respecting RF Gentleman can do without. Of course, I'm talking about the anime adaptation of the greatest game ever:
