| Repro site might be selling games in our covers. |

"Obtained from the forums on Thecoverproject.net. Made by the user _____" |

yeah, even like "Covers may be downloaded for free at thecoverproject.net having a cover does directly effect the sale, i know i'm 90% more likely to buy the game i want when it comes with a case and art rather then cart alone thats for sure |

I guess my biggest problem with this is how much extra is charged for the case with the game. Most of the SNES repros are $60, but $70 with a case. I just don't see how the cost of that one case, that one sheet of paper, and the ink used on that paper equals out to $10, if all that those who are buying the game and case are paying for is the materials. That, and he's charging money for something that is available for free online. I guess I can understand for some people who don't really have all the resources to buy the cases and print the covers out themselves, but still. Credit would be nice (to either the creator or the site), but he can't really ask for permission to use them, since none of it is original material. Regardless, people will never stop trying to make money off of any of the covers provided on the site and on the forums, so there isn't a whole lot that we can do about it, other than maybe ask that there be a link to the site in the item description. That's just my two cents. |

My two cents is he's a scumbag who's ripping people off with his scam site, and I hope it gets shut down. If he's really just charging for the work to make the carts why are the prices so wildly different from game to game? I guess some roms require more "work" than others to make into a cart! Funny how it's the most popular ones too... >:( I'd rather just case my own Japanese carts with the covers you guys make than pay for such a "service". |

look up info on repros and you'll find that many games are in fact much more difficult and more expensive to make than ohers. some use more ROM chips than others, some use special chips, etc. Making these isn't as easy as you might think. his prices are pretty standard for the service, actually |
