Looking for Earthbound insert

[xelius | 1]

Anyone have an Earthbound Nintendo Power insert they’d care to sell? Please let me know! Thanks

Bumping this since it’s been a bit. Still looking.

what's the bounty?

$150 is what I was was hoping for but I have no idea what this would go for. I’m open to negotiation @CIB_Wholesale

Someone was selling one of these while ago

@a3quit4sany recollection of how much or maybe who?

[a3quit4s | 4,098]

Maybe it was a bunch of people trying to buy it. You could give the site search function a go

I thought I had @a3quit4s but maybe I’ll give it another shot

I always feel like this is the obvious recommendation, but not everyone thinks this way.  If you have the cash, I recommend going to eBay and buying another, complete Earthbound (or where ever this came from) and cannibalizing this insert for your copy.

Once it arrives, just resell the item CIB.

I use to collect some games without manuals and such and I just realized if you really want a CIB item, it's much easier to buy it complete and sell what you have and it's some times  even cheaper.  You can either wait, potentially, months to years to find a seller for this  item, or you could run over to eBay, get it within a couple weeks and then recoup costs.

I do understand if this isn't an option if you can afford the insert and not the entire game but, yeah... I've been here and I gave up on finding some manuals and inserts and just had to go the "easy" route.  It might be worth considering.

@RHI’m looking at that angle too- but don’t want to be out too much cash to do this if possible. Figured I should explore all my options

Yeah, there's no harm in that.  I'd probably do the same, hoping to get lucky (and I have because I still need a cherry lefty SMB3 manual.)

But yeah, in all of my collecting, I don't think I've ever found a manual for an uncommon game I've needed in the condition I want, and game specific inserts have almost entirely eluded me.

I feel like what @RH suggested is the most cost effective way, I’m like 99% sure the dude selling one here or on NA was asking like $500 for the reg card alone. 

[xelius | 1]

Ooof $500 is a bit much

Bumping again. I’d be willing to pay up to $350 for this if someone has it.

Bumping again. If you have one - name your price. Let's work something out :)
