picked them up this morning and they are in my car... they JUST fit. cant wait to get back home. honestly though, it doesnt SEEM like they are all in there. i wouldve expected the boxes to be larger to fit everything i bought, but i will double check my list versus what i get when i get home. i didnt open things up to see condition either... i am sooooooooooooo afraid for that, seeing as though i bought all of this blind!

This is a bigger cock tease than that time you made me take you to dinner and that stupid Meg Ryan movie and then afterwards came up for "coffee" only to puss out with a "headache" and leave me to deal with my own urges. Bullshit.

aaron, but you neglected to say what i did to make it up for you next time we went out! i still have wet dreams about that night!

okay, i got through 2 of the 8 boxes... these were easy, cuz they were already unfolded... 650+ snes boxes... 450+ different ones. i dont know rare boxes, but im sure i got a bunch in here. there were 11 "for display only" boxes. none of the HUGE rare ones in here, but tons of great ones. there isnt more than 2 or 3 of the same box, and there arent a ton of sports ones... here is a pic to hold you guys over until i can unload the other 6 boxes tomorrow... that will take a shitload of time and effort! (i will update the first post in a minute with a couple pics)

i am sick... my jaw feels like mike tyson right hooked me, so im going to the dr at 11 and not working after that, so i will have time to go through these bad boys!

as for where i got them, remember the 2 bomberman 2 boxes that were sold for like $10 BIN on ebay. i think jone got one. also, that seller sold 2 contra force boxes too for $10 each. wellllllllll, i talked to him through email for a little while and we worked out a deal. price was NOT cheap, but it still was a good deal! both parties were happy.

even funnier is that i stole them out of sosafan's back yard! he had asked the store owner tons of times to sell the boxes, but the owner always refused. nowwwwwwwwwww..., they are miiiiiiiiiiine! i will probably put them in the NES graveyard (better known as my room!)

Boxes are still worth something even if they are flattened?

??? im confused by your question. its the same as a box that is "unflattened" into the 'box' form. all boxes can be condensed into a more flat form

Well whatever, at least they went to someone on here.  Yes I got a Bomberman II box and a Contra Force box out of him, and I had contacted him to buy them all too.  He told me he would send me a list ASAP, but that list never came.  I figured it was just going to take him several days to come up with that list, but I guess it's partly my fault for not following up.  I'll be honest, I was just going to turn around and sell 90% of them so if you are keeping them for your actual collection then it's better you won them anyway.

I also just missed buying out a separate guy's SNES CIB MINT collection to Baser_Computers this week.  That pisses me off 1000x more since smokinjoe has told all of the horror stories regarding him.  Nonetheless, glad these boxes found a good home, the Bomberman II and Contra Force that I picked up were solid 8 to 8.5s out of 10 so I'm sure the SNES stuff is good too.

when i saw him list 2 of each bomberman 2 and contra force, i figured he had a bunch more, so i just sent an email. he sent me pics ASAP and the lists came a few days later.

jone, the condition on the snes stuff is nice. ive looked through a few nes things and the condition ranges from mint to shit. but the majority of everything is nice.

i hate baser computers.

*Slaps forehead*

Dude, between you and I, there are at least 5 Godzilla 2 boxes that are up for grabs, let alone all the other crap! Quick, let's edit our threads with a bunch of common junk so that people don't realize that we're gonna flood the market!

Oh yeah, and this find is just getting better. You're a beast Seth!
