Buying CIB from ebay

[Strong and Nerdy (formerly tmntfreak7)]

Hey guys I know there is a few covers on here that have been requested for a while like Mickey Mania and Speedy Gonzales for SNES

I just purchased a speedy gonzales box from ebay and will be making a cover.  If anyone is interested in purchasing mickey mania complete with manual and everything there's one on ebay right now.

The only reason I bring this up is because I know that there are some covers in which people just don't have the boxes for and the people that do own them most likely don't know/care that this site exists.

Also has anyone ever asked an ebay seller to simply scan the box for the purpose of this site?  I've been thinking about asking but I don't know how that would come off to the seller.

Thoughts?  Suggestions?

Yeah, I can do that I'll have it up for you in a couple of days.

I also just purchased The Adventures of Batman and Robin Box so I'll have that up after I get it in the mail.

But what do you guys think about asking ebay sellers to provide us with scans of their boxes?  Should we even bother?

Ive asked a few sellers to scan boxes for me a couple times. Never told them what for but I never got a response either. Id maybe try offering the seller like 5$ or something to actually motivate them to do so.

i got the rest of my ps1 covers this way, i just ask all the sellers i see with the game case/box to scan me the front and back of the box so i can verify the condition lol

Asking to verify condition is the best way by far. I wouldn't offer money just to get a picture scan....

"Um excuse me but do you mind scanning pictures at roughly 300 - 600 dpi, thanks" haha
