in this thread, greed

itt, not banksy

hey man , Nice avatar , take a look

Are you saying that if it's not Banksy, it's not good?

I guess Dan's wish came true today!  I left earlier when this was a one page thread, then I come home tonight and there's 130 replies.

nah, dolk's style is just so similar that i thought it was done by banksy. his work seems good though.

Just over $200. What's market price for a lot like this? I know the BB2 cart is around $100, what what would the box go for? I know Jetson's is rare, but how much would it be worth?

I also notice that CIB games tend to go for significantly less when done in auctions.

I'd say $200 is a pretty damn fair price on this lot.  Sure BB2 cart is maybe $100 and the box could be roughly the same, but it's hard to judge condition by that picture.

Jetsons box also clearly has "No Instructions" written on it in marker which would hurt its value substantially, though I know one member was able to successfully remove market from a Pro Sport Hockey box.  If it can come off of a white box then it can certainly come off a colored one, I've just never had the patience to attempt it.

And your last comment about CIBs is true about lots in general.  Whether its CIBs, carts, manuals, boxes or sealed, lots rarely go for their true part-out value.

Yes, this thread exceeded my wildest dreams.

Although the white lynch mob image is a little disturbing...I see the joke that was trying to be made, but the subject matter sucked all humor out of it for me :/

You have to consider the ending time of this auction. It's like 9am in the US on a Thursday. That's probably another reason this went for a reasonable price.

Yeah, buying CIB lots can get you negative profit if you sell them individually at auction. Been there, done that. I've never had a store and didn't like the BIN mark ups for FVF and all that other BS.

And, let me tell you man, I know you stick to your "selling only in the US policy" but people in Europe L-O-V-E CIB games and are willing to pay top dollar plus shipping for them. You can command pretty good prices, and move your CIB games much quicker by making them available in that market.

Off topic, but how?

Mineral spirits, or any cleaning solution using that as a solvent should work.
Also, denatured alcohol will work.

Any cleaning agent that smells like a sharpie is probably a similarly effective solvent for the "permanent" markings.


Whether it damages the box, or not, though depends on how glossy the surface is, and how it was printed initially.

All of this advice comes with the caveat of "test on an inconspicuous location"

That was me.  Goo Gone and a lot of patience and steady hands.

Just make sure the front of the box still has some gloss to it and you should be fine.

In no way resellers were meant to be racist Im not, if that clarifies the meaning of the picture. Its one of the first pictures that came up as lynch mob.

I had one, but I already sold it to Pieter

Too bad too...your kingdom would've looked mighty nice in my kingdom

And yeah, just noticed I'm quoting off page one...clicked the wrong button on the forum page...but I HAD to post

^^^ If "Princess Bride" taught us anything, it's that Andre the Giant had a problem with a smaller solitary opponent!

Inconceivable!

I just watched that movie last week, and I couldn't make out 95% of the stuff Andre was saying.

It helps if you have any classes with foreign professors. Before college, I couldn't understand anything he said, but now I can understand it quite easily.

Hey guys, I just took a big shit!
