FAQ: Where can I buy cases?

[wiggy]

Sorry, it stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer.  Basically, Nintendo-made cases

[Bloaty]

ah, I see, thanks for clearing that up.  So do you mean ds cases straight from the nintendo store?  I read they started using recycle hole cases, right?  I'm starting to think maybe I should just give SuperMediaStore a chance 

[wiggy]

A couple of folks have sorted out unique ways of casing GB/GBA games in the Eco cases. Another option is to pick up used cases. I've been buying cases on eBay here and there for the last couple of months. You can occasionally find decen sized lots for a good price.

[Bloaty]

yeah I just checked out ebay, I think that used cases might be the best way to go for now, so thanks . But I can't stand those eco cases or the 3DS cases for that matter.

Hello,

I'm new here.  Just bought my first batch of UGCs. They came and I started putting some boxes together.  Although I only have a couple game booklets, I noticed there are no clips to hold a booklet in the cases I ordered... Is this something that has recently changed in the manufacturing of these?  It's kind of a bummer...

Never had clips as far as I know.
And fitting for SNES & N64 manuals is not perfect.

Interesting... oh well. Still love the cases.

lol is there anyone who has spare new ugc's they would ship internationally

[wiggy]

Just wanna give a big thanks to Media Shelving for offering box upgrades now ($3 per box).  ALL 200 of my recent order arrived intact

This will also make forwarding these to any of you international guys and gals a LOT easier as there's no more need to hunt for beefy boxes that'll hold 100 UGCs.

I put in for an order on Dec. 21st....got an email today that they are backlogged and out of stock.  Won't be expecting more until mid-late January 2013.

I too put in for the extra $3.00 box in the hopes that many of the cases won't be damaged in shippiong like many of you have documented before.

I am getting a case shipped to upstate NY for a total of 71 bucks.  $25 bucks seems steep for shipping....so am paying a total of 71 cents a game case.  I only have about 40 games to case, so should be good for awhile.

[wiggy]

It's pricey because of the distance it's traveling and the size of the package

I'm in Ohio and it's pretty much the same price.  I tend to buy at least 2 boxes at a time for this reason.  Shipping to me is roughly $25 for one box, $35 for two.

Does anyone know where one can purchase single disc GCN replacement cases? I've found a few dual disc cases already.

because nintendo went with the smaller discs for GC, i dont think its worth anyones while to make replacement cases for them
i looked for ages to try and find any, with no luck, even places that have PS2 and XBOX cases dont have GC ones!

best bet is to buy a load of crappy games you dont care about, toss the discs and keep the cases, if you got them in a lot on ebay it'd probably be cheaper

[Seandub]

Yeah, but the whole point is that they're new and smooth with no deformities. I suppose I could put everything in dual disc cases, but that's kinda lame. (Only game I have with 2 discs is Twin Snakes)

try picking cases from sports titles those usually have the better condition cases.
