So i printed out my the retail covers on semi-gloss card stock from Office Max from this site for probably 50 NES and maybe 25 SNES games.  Then I got a printer and some paper from red river and reprinted everything double sided (with my covers as inlays).  Now i have an abundance of the old covers (single sided) sitting around.  I'm not trying to make a profit off my old covers or anything - but is it frowned upon to sell off old covers (which I used until recently)?  If it is I won't take this any further; but i have a bunch of covers (perfectly fine) that I don't really want to throw away.  I'd rather not ebay and look like a scumbag or anything either.  What do my TCP brothers say?

I haven't sold any of my old covers, I just give them to my brother.  However I can't answer for you.  As Arseen said do whatever you think is the most appropriate thing.

I don't need covers right now but if you make a list of the covers that you have will be much easier  ;)

Personally I have no problem with this.  If I didn't make my own covers I would be interested in buying yours.

Again, as Arseen said, it's whatever.

It's irritating to see people sell them for $10 a case on eBay, but if you would only sell the prints for $1. I would see not problem in that beings you're just trying to get your money back.

yah, I suppose it would be nice to know what games I printed covers for huh?  here's a few pics so you can see what they look like.  They have been inside UGCs for a few months so they are not flat, they are bent at the spine.  There is nothing wrong with these; i've just reprinted double sided covers that include the official NES/SNES verticals and then my custom verticals (found elsewhere on this site if you want to see what they look like) so i'm looking to get these to a happy home and recoop some of my printing costs (cardstock legal semi-gloss @ office max cost me around 1.25/page).  Basically I printed out 59 NES + 16 SNES x2 (custom and TCP vertical) = 150 covers (minus a few here and there, see below).  So cost me around $185 (jesus).  PM me and we can work it out.  I'd rather not go to ebay so hopefully someone here has a need for these specific games and hasn't printed anything out yet :)

Did you get any takers on this or?

Otherwise I'd be interested in making some business with you, but only regarding certain titles (as I live far as hell away and there would be no point in shipping covers I can't use because of the lame shipping cosstn
