I'm curious if anyone purchased these and if so, how was the quality for $20 bucks a pop?

There are cheaper, genuinely brand new and unworn cases all over the internet, which include bonus items. I can't believe that someone was gullible enough to fall for this (if those sales are real).
-
You can generally find Keith Courage or TV Sports whatever for cheaper than $20 with a case.
-
I was given one of these cases along with a late TTi game a long time ago and the only difference that I can really see is that they are a bit darker than the original cases that came packaged with games. So, there's that? No reason to buy one of these.. unless the idea of rubbing your junk on it gets you going in the morning faster than strong coffee. Hmm.
-
You would have to be a retarded dumbass to pay $20 shipped for an empty HuCard case.
-
I too was given a case like that. Almost black in color. Used it for Shockman bitd.
-
sonic spike... sealed... $10 shipped all day long.
shhhh the gougers are listening!
-
Published Turbo and PCE games have variations in the darkness of the cases. These were likely part of batches that also made it into packaging.
-
too expensive to me. I can't afford that money for just an empty case
-
Yeah that seller is a piece of shit. The original listing made it seem like you were getting 4 cases for $20. I was one who was taken. You can believe I was super pissed when only a single case showed up. His only form of customer service was "send it back." Also, only the backs are new. The clear front portion of the cases are shitty, dude is too cheap just to slap new CD case lids on them.
-
If $20 is a real price for hu card cases I'll go out have in and a plastic injection mold made tomorrow.

Couldn't you just go here http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=18661.0 and put in an order?

$20 for a single empty case? Dafuq is wrong with people?
-
Yeah $20 for one case is insane. I saw this listing and had to read the description twice to make sure nothing else came with it but an empty case. Like others have said you can probably get Keith Courage for way less than that.

Collectardism. The struggle is real.

You can go to Amazon right now and buy a brand new copy of Sonic Spike for $9.99, throw away the game, and have a new case for half the price.

i can understand a pack of 4 or 5 for 20 bucks but 20 for 1? nah im good bruh lol

A while ago I bought about 8 copies of Kieth Courage for $3 apiece because I figured cases were worth about that much. I ended up giving away the games except for maybe one. Kept the cases though, no problem there!

Is he a disgruntled TDZ employee? looks like that's the case.
Seems like he is throwing around the TDZ name all over the place.

Seems like there are several people who pop up like this over the years with lots of TZD stock.

They have to be ex-employees or even some of the more higher positions that took that split share of the piece of the pie when the company pulled the plug. So having said that, there is a ton of stock left that failed to sell. Not to mention a crap load of American stock left in Japan that is sitting underground somewhere. I doubt there are any games there, mostly its merchandise, game cases and sleeves, controllers etc.
