      It's definitely a great time if you already have stock, which I do to some degree.
      Acquiring more without cutting into profit is going to be hard now in 2021.

    The Turtles in Time cart is authentic. For the Super Nintendo, many games had 2 sources for production. Japan and Mexico. The Japanese manufactured carts are usually the "first" print and have a more glossy finished label. The Mexico manufactured carts are usually revisions of the game or later manufactured prints and have a matte finish. With the Mexico manufactured carts, the matte finish makes the label art look a bit hazy or fuzzy. They are 100% authentic. When I purchased my copy of Turtles in Time, I bought the Mexico variant unknowingly and thought the same thing. A little investigating assured me that it was authentic.

    I’ve always loved how reselling and stock management works. When you don’t have much stock people tend to maximise their profits by selling online but large stocks sell better at lower average prices for others to maximise theirs on.
    It always works out for both parties

  • @JSniperton
    @JSniperton 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That TMNT for SNES is indeed real. "Made in" Japan & Mexico had glossy labels and stickers on the back. "Assembled in Mexico" was the Majesco reprints with terrible quality carts, labels and imprinted labels on the back. There are Majesco versions of quite a few games. Notable ones are Mega Man X, Earthworm Jim 2, Lion King, Aladdin, Contra III, Goof Troop, Super Castlevania IV, Street Fighter II and a bunch of others. They had those black & white manuals. The seals on those boxes are also REALLY weird if they're new. They look resealed with loose shrink wrap that doesn't even seal all the way on the back.
    I personally *hate* them cause the carts feel cheap and the labels get destroyed really easily with no coating on them. But they are real. I feel like values haven't really caught up with those being lower quality, and they play fine. I just try to avoid them whenever I can. Others don't care much. Congrats on your pickups!
