Anybody looking for some GBA Pokemon games to add to their collection?

I have recently replaced some of my GBA titles with better looking copies, so I no longer need my originals.  These are the AUTHENTIC GBA titles, not bootlegs.  I have had these copies for years.  They save/play fine, although the internal battery has run dry in all of them (game saves, but time based events no longer function - this is basically the case with all GBA pokemon titles). 



The titles I have are:
*all prices include shipping to continental US - I WILL ship internationally, but we need to talk to figure how much it will cost to ship, PM me and we can figure things out*

Ruby - $15
Sapphire - $20
Leaf Green - $22
Fire Red - $23

Prices are for individual titles, buy in bulk and the price will lower and also save on shipping cost.
As you can see, no major cart or label damage.  Some carts have sticker residue on the back from gamestop stickers 10 years ago.  But other than that, these all look really good.  Saves were checked prior to listing to make sure they work.
If interested, please PM me.  Feel free to post interest or questions here, but PMs are what I will be looking for in terms of sales.  Dibs go to whoever is first.

Ruby and Sapphire look suspect. Ruby is definitely fake, trust me

I think I know what you're referring to - Ruby especially looks like it has a stiff, orangish sticker.  This is due to the angle/lighting.  Ruby and Sapphire have that hologram-ish label which makes it hard to photograph well.  Here are some more shots.  As I said, I have had these games for a while now, played through them, etc.  These aren't the newer versions I am replacing them with.  Still, I don't want to sell a disingenuous product - if there is anything I can post about the games to show their authenticity I am happy to do it.

Much more accurate shot of color and texture.

That was fast! Sorry, they have all been claimed by a single buyer!  Thanks for looking!

Ah, much better. That angle make the world of difference, they don't even look like the same cartridges. Usually it is easy to spot a fake with the left part of the label not being dark enough (showing up kind of gray) but this 2nd picture is much better.

I take back my post about the authenticity  :)


EDIT: Why are the scuff marks not in the same place on both copies of Sapphire? Look at the Nintendo logo on Ruby for both pics, one the red from the frame blends in with the background while the other is pronounced with a darker color. Also, the first picture shown the bottom right corner of Ruby is peeling up while the 2nd picture it is firmly flat. I don't want to drag this topic through the mud BUT ... its a bit odd

Yeah, I flattened it down for the re-shoot.  Both lower corners were peeling up slightly, i firmly pressed them back down before taking the second picture.  Like I said, lighting made a huge difference.  The closeup of Ruby and Sapphire was taken in a bright room without a flash, while the pics of all four were taken in a dim room with the flash doing most of the work.  That's why the label looked washed out, and the label flaws were heavily accented with a white glow.
