JUNE 2014 Picks
redsox2012:
I finally found some decent storage solutions for my NES games. This rack is designed for both SNES and NES. SNES fit much better, but there are slots inside that hold NES games in place if they're in sleeves. This particular rack comes in both 12 and 18 cart styles. I got it for $10 - they usually sell for 3-4X that.
This one I found at a thrift store for $3. NES carts fit nicely if they're in sleeves. The interior slots are molded plastic, so it must have been a retail item at some point. It seems like it's really a rack for double thick CD cases, although I don't know why someone would make a 30 double CD holder - most CD cases have single slots and just a few for doubles.
I'm glad that I can now display (and have easy access to) my NES games. I'd love to case them at some point, but there's no feasible solution right now. UGC's are too difficult to mod for NES carts (especially in large quantities), and Bitbox cases are too expensive for me at nearly $4 each.

I used to have one similar to that (3 columns of 7 games). It was great to have direct access to all games. Unfortunately, I think I through it to the garbage at some point.

I've got that exact holder (No box, never seen the box for them actually) . Would be willing to trade for games I don't own (Mostly looking for nes at the moment)

Looks like 8-tracks to me, but had to tell without holding an 8-track up to a nes cart.
PinBiohazard:
I got for 50p each
WWF Smackdown 2 (2nd copy)
World Cup 98' (got Fifa RtWC 98' so that is complete)

KalessinDB:
Well, I got my last 2 boxes yesterday:
One box ran me a whopping $9.50 shipped:
Shining in the Darkness ($7.50, CB no manual)
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer (N64, $2 cuz why not)
The other box was a "Mystery box" picked for me by a guy who knows I'm just starting to get into arcade games, and ran me $119 shipped:
Street Fighter Zero/Alpha (CPS2, phoenixed, A+B board -- for those of you who don't know arcade collecting, the A board is the motherboard, the B board are the games, so this way I'm good to go for any other CPS2 games)
Soccer Brawl (MVS, including Neominibox for display/storage)
Namco IO (this one is for future use if I ever get a System 246/256 motherboard)
All told, probably $150-160 worth of stuff before shipping. Dude hooked me UP, he always does. Very exciting!
