It varies from franchised stores to owned stores, my local has a policy up on the wall that shows you the grading system, if a box has rips or tears that affects it holding the item it’s unboxed, if it’s in bad condition, it’s unboxed. So for NES games to be boxed you need the styrofoam block, black cartridge sleeve and no rips, N64 needs the Insert to be in good condition, present and outer box no rips. This applies for all cardboard boxed games and other things like systems, tech, etc. My local is very strict on this and I get boxed stuff for unboxed prices weekly 😂 I know some other stores that grade like this but don’t care as much or have no idea how the games actually are. Such as I got Paperboy N64 CIB for unboxed at Ilkeston because it had no insert but the box had sun damage to one side and tape on it, so it should’ve been unboxed regardless with/ without an insert and I got WWF No Mercy unboxed because it has no insert but it’s literally one of those boxes with a built in insert… Luckily Mansfield my local, actually know what they’re doing. Great pickups! Kind of jealous, not had any NES boxed stuff at unboxed prices in an age.
The guide on the wall would make alot of sense. This cex is always very fussy, i've got quite a few out of them, got some game gear (in a previous vid) about a month ago.
@@thenerdycouple Yeah I saw that! You must’ve gotten at least 3-5 boxed game gear. My local is very fussy also but it works out in my favour. I’m in CeX retro watch FB group, and everyone moans at them having good quality control… but are quick to buy stuff that’s CIB for unboxed price. 🤦♂️
Honestly you've done great especially on the maniac Mansion has one sold boxed for like 80 recently snd your condition is probably like 60 . I don't understand there principles at yours has mine had a horrendous boxed maniac Mansion recently but had it has boxed lol 😆 . I went to the best cex for retro near me recently the girl was confused about retro she let me go through the boxes 😅 . I think the tiny toons was on gameboy to . Has for your damage on black boxes I recommend sharpy jet black has it goes better looking .
Some of these definitely aren't too bad in terms of condition so definitely some nice NES pickups.
Cheers, yeah was very happy.
