FAQ: Where can I buy cases?

[wingzrow]

Does anyone know where to buy DS cases with the GBA slot? I was going to buy from genesysdtp, but they say they're sold out, and took them down from their eBay store too so it must be true.

For DS cases, I've had luck at finding them at smaller game stores. They don't tend to throw things away easily.

Is there anywhere to buy Universal Game Cases in small amounts? Or something similar to hold NES games. I only want 10. Amazon sells them for $3 each, but I want to try getting them cheaper.
I dug through the whole topic, but most places seem to revert back to selling in packs of 100 only.

Someone said big dvd cases work:
http://www.amazon.com/10-Black-Disc-DVD-Cases/dp/B002ROEJUE/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_y

Can anyone vouch for me if theses fit NES games, even with the dvd holders on the sides?

[Jeff]

Thank you for the offer, but I thought about it some more and I think I'll go with dvd cases. If they fit then I won't need to do any modding (except for some protection to prevent scratching on the inside.) A 0.75in spine dvd case almost worked, so a ~1in spine should be fine (an 8 dvd case listed dimensions.) And even if they don't, I have a few other uses I could find for them.

Anyone know where you can buy UGC in europe? The OP link doesn't work (neither does googling the site). The cheapest I've found them so far are on ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Game-Case-for-N64-Megadrive-SNES-etc-NEW-BOX-OF-100-UNITS-/200984776678?pt=UK_VideoGames_Merchandise_RL&hash=item2ecba04fe6). Thanks in advance!

Both come out at about 150 euro per 100 pieces. More expensive on ebay, but cheaper shipping. I guess the website is cheaper once you start buying more than 100 pieces, as shipping stays the same. Still a shame nobody sells them close to the 1e per UGC though in europe.

I just found another source for UGC's.

Cheaper than Media Shelving, plus it looks like they offer international shipping.

hmm, nice.
Now they seem to fit manuals better.
If someone buys these, please tell do the manuals now fit perfectly.

[Blumpkin]

I'll order some in a couple of weeks after I get home from California. I'm about to really dive into casing my N64 collection next.

By the way, does anybody know of any good game shops in the Modesto area? I'm hoping to do some retro treasure hunting and stuff my face with In-N-Out.

I actually ordered from them last summer. Seems like the exact same case as the other place. They may have the same supplier.
SNES manuals fits, but gets bend when you close the manual.

I'm from Canada, the sale guy asked me to call him directly to arrange payment and shipping. I had to use UPS as a broker.

I emailed them for a quote but the shipping costs for 200 cases was 248.03! ! and for 300 it was 299.60 (both only via via Fed Ex ground, they could learn a thing or two about business from dealextreme.com!). INSANELY high costs to ship from america to the Netherlands.

Actially US postal prices are ridicolous so I don't think you can get really any cheaper than that.

^ This. Those prices are the same for Canadians.

[Playahstation]

I have ordered my cases from www.thevideoshopper.com, after shipping they were cheaper then mediashelving which I wasn't really expecting.

What is the estimated delivery time for orders from the VideoShopper? ex. 5-7 days, 10-14 days. I know it will vary with location just looked for a general time frame.

Thanks
