Nintegageo | 582 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Real ones. Is there a good place? I have 2 consoles without their box and it is sad :'(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,092 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 If game stores have them I’d try to get them there so I don’t worry about people packing them up like idiots on eBay. If you’ve got nowhere local unfortunately the internet is where you need to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,690 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I don't think there is any consistently good source for console boxes. Even collectors tend to toss them. I'd just post what you want here and scour eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,725 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 eBay is probably going to be your best bet. But before buying or bidding, I would contact the seller and confirm if they plan to ship the console box inside of a shipping box. And if you are only looking for two boxes, I would go ahead and list them here, just in case someone sees it and has one to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginoscope | 14 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I have had luck on facebook groups and on ebay finding console boxes. Sometimes to get that final box you need to buy the entire system cib. In those cases I sold off the duplicate items. Reminds me I need to sell off a duplicate system I still have lol.

Nintegageo | 582 Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 Appreciate the advice guys. Good idea to keep an eye on the sales threads. @Aguy a Saturn and an NES top loder not exactly common ones haha. @ginoscope yeah, I am just hoping to avoid doing a CIB purchase. I'm in Canada so in general that is a way higher pain in the ass than the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,930 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I hear that, I technically could use one of those top loader boxes too. Last one I had was a decade ago, it was pretty rough with nothing go to for it inside, so I sold it to an old local NA member in the day for a pittance. I've been trying to recover boxes here and there when I can though now, most recent an ok condition purple gamecube one when my original 20 year old one croaked. If I went for it I'd need a Mario 25th Wii box and all packing, the same for an original N64 unit too from launch. And if getting into handheld that'll get messy and costly with 2 SP 101s needed, an an 001 platinum and NES. It's why I just don't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
