Donating to site or artists

[videogametrader]

Is there someone that can make a "sticky" top with the information for donating to the paypal account? I feel it till get lost. Is there a way to place a link on the art pages?

Thanks,

Tom

Ok,

so i have sold enough cases to start buying boxes for donating scans to the site.

Lets have a vote. What boxes do we need?

Thanks,

Tom

There are some boxes in here we need, like Wario's Woods and I think Yoshi's Cookie. We need Mario's Time Machine, but I'm getting a SNES box for it, so I got that covered.

The Mario's Early Years are some we need too, Mostly Fun With Letters and Numbers, Manual for Numbers would be good enough, I got the back remade.
I think Zelda 2 needs one, not sure if Wiggy ever uploaded his scans.
I think Nintendo World Cup for NES needs some scans too.

Here is a request list of covers I need, mostly GB games.

Monopoly for SNES. It sounds dumb but it's one cover I've been wanting a vertical of since day one.

That's available in the eBay listing posted above for $2.50

I think I have Monopoly, and have scanned it too, must check when I get home.

I do think this is a neat idea.  I was wondering though...I know that the site owners/admins don't want to make money off the scans for copyright infringement reasons.  

If a third party is selling printed covers and donating a portion back to us via boxes for scans, is that kind of a roundabout version of us profiting?  I know technically we're not profiting in terms of getting cash, but if someone is getting items of value, then isn't it kind of the same thing?

I don't personally have a problem with it, I am ONLY mentioning it in case there are any concerns about this, and I don't want the site or anyone to get in trouble.  From a practical standpoint, obviously it doesn't matter much because clearly there are people selling printed covers with UGC's all the time and they don't seem to be having any problem, haha.  

But in terms of sticking to 'principles' or whatever of doing this the best way, avoiding remote chances of copyright infringement, I just wanted to mention it.

EDIT: Just to be abundantly clear, I am absolutely in support of this and don't really have a problem with it - and I know that the goal isn't to 'win' free boxes here, but rather to contribute to the site!

The thing goes more or less like this:

We have no reasonable way of preventing people from selling our covers, and if the "thieves" want to ease their quilt by bying and scanning boxes for us, it's fine by me.
Especially as we don't know who most of them are, so they can any of the persons buy and scanning boxes.

OK - if you're cool with it then I'm cool!  (Not that my being cool with it makes much of a difference, haha)

Plus it's not like we're making a formal agreement to get a kickback from sellers.  People can donate if they want.  

I do definitely like this though - anything we can do to get more boxes / scans, is awesome!

That's okay, I already have a stack of scanned boxes awaiting the talents of a cover artist.

I purchased about 10 boxes from this seller and found them to be very reliable. As he says, don't be afraid to make an offer!

Needless to say, I have about 8 box scans forthcoming. I've read on the forums that someone was planning on uploading a SNES Wario's Woods, but that seems like ages ago now. Also, we totally need a new Zelda II scan. I'm really hoping those raws show up soon!

[videogametrader]

ok, so i am unclear as to which boxes i should look for.

is there a list in another post i should look at? I know i can't just look at the list using the left menu as many of the covers not there are in the forums.

Thanks

I've uploaded scans of Wario's Woods twice now. ya'all need to read more threads and stop discriminating.
I found excellent scans at a university student's site.
I will upload them to mediafire for you.
give me some time ...
