This may sound weird...but anywhere to find a place that's selling an original Genesis box? I have a bid on ebay going right now that includes the system...I'm sure I'll get beat out for it...but something about having the box too. I had two original boxes at my parents house that were recently thrown away :mad: I'm a box collector...can't help it.

http://www.collectorscardsandgames.com/ E-mail the guy there and tell him you want to buy an empty sega genesis box. Make sure you tell him what model and that you want the packing with it. I bought dozens of console boxes from him. A genesis box with packing will probably run you $10 plus actual shipping.

I hate bidding on auctions that have alot of days left. I'm to impatient. :P Do you have any extra console boxes you are not using? I'm looking for some random ones.

lol..me too...I'm an "I WANT IT NOW" kinda person when I think of something I wanna buy. If I win the auction...I'll get a decent condition box including the console for 25.00 shipped...but I already have the console.

Sorry dude...no extra boxes to get rid of..lol. I have my original PlayStation, Saturn and Dreamcast boxes :)

Atleast you're collecting boxes for youre Sega consoles. I'm obsessed with having the boxes for all of my consoles and I have tons of them. Right now, I'm in need of a few rare boxes like NeoGeo AES, NeoGeo cd, bally astrocade, so on.

I wanna get into console collecting...just hard when you can just play all the games using emus on your PC. I would love to get a NES/SNES console and start collecting NES/SNES games

Nes games are fun to collect and I collect them loose. Genesis games on the other hand, I want the cases and artwork for.

Yea...Just browsing eBay. A lot of carts avail but no boxes. How do you NOT save the boxes for those games? Back in the day I had my little sega corner in my bedroom. Actually hung the boxes on the wall...lol

:O That's fantastic Nitro!

I mostly collect rare sealed games, I never got into consoles pre-dreamcast due to the fact the boxes were torn or not included

I like sealed games aswell but since they are hard to find and expensive, I tend to pass on them. I usually buy them if I find them at the fleamarket or something really cheap. I have what I like to call Collectors OCD. If I have one boxed game for a system, I have to have them all boxed or I go crazy :P Same with the console boxes.

Haha, I know how you feel ;)

I need MD boxes and instructions and like SNES boxed and factory sealed =] but NES, Wonderswan or other carts I don't mind loose

I'll do the same thing with CD's...I had Dance Mix USA Vol. 2 for a while...all of a sudden I wanted them all and found them all online and ordered them...even if I wont listen to them often...its all about just having them.

It can entirely depend really on the game I think to be honest. Some games might get loads of copies pressed in one country, Japan for instance but only have A limited press in europe therefore making it rarer.

That's what I thought :) thanky

You tend to find Japanese games sell for more, but I think that's just ebay people trying it on...you could pick them up for next to nothing if you were actually in japan ^__^"

I like PAL games, with some Japanese...they have amazing limited editions :O

Yeah it's like when we were talking about panzer dragoon saga. You can pick up A jap one here for next to nothing but the europe ones like gold dust.
