So, I bought a large lot of NES games (which I found through this forum) 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:

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?"

You mean:
Anybody?

If i had enough boxed games with out styros to warrant purchase i would get some.

But if memory serves i only have like 10-15 games that need styro if that many.

Hopefully your ventures are going better elsewhere Smiley

So they came out really well and I've been shipping to various people and have feedback on them.

Anyone else want some?

How long you plan on doing it for?
I might end up going thru my NES stuff this weekend and if i do i will check how many games i have that need styro.

I ask how long you plan on doing it because i still am applying for jobs.
People keep telling me to call back at places i apply at but i do and they completely ignore ANYTHING you have to say the instant you tell them you filled out a job application.
Mentally they have already hung up the phone but physically they are still holding it.

Yeah, I might get some to, but I need to tally up my boxes, to see how many I need.

How many more do you have?

I might go in with Scott and make it a much bigger order.

Let me know.

Sorry for not answering right away guys.  I still have a ton.  I used around 250 in my boxes this past weekend and they worked perfectly.  

Let me know how many you'd like.  I'm also up for trading and my collection is now on RFGen.   |D
