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?
BadChad:
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
