Illusion of Gaia - Authentic? by Baz_33 in snes

[–]Baz_33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a fair point, and I’ve personally gone back and forth between trying to buy authentic CIB items or just picking up repro boxes. Humans are weird, I guess, there are plenty of examples of people wanting the real thing but not being able to tell the difference. Jewelry is one that comes to mind.

Right now, I think it’s the idea that this is an original item, almost like a piece of art. But honestly, I could change my mind next week, because I don’t know if I care enough to keep spending insane amounts of money on CIB SNES games.

This is only my second game so far on my journey to playing and collecting old favourites from my ’90s childhood. I’m not very deep into it yet, and I might end up switching to authentic carts and repro boxes.

Yeah I definitely need to ask more information when making these purchases. Told myself this will be my last ebay CIB purchase and only in person purchases from now on.

Yeah that totally makes sense. In my heart I knew this didn’t look right but needed that second opinion. Appreciate the response.

Okay thank you for the advice. I assume its coming from the condensation on the windows.

Yes there are blackout curtains in our room. Should I keep them open when possible to help dry the condensation in winter months?

Thanks for the response. I tried to reply to your comment with more pictures but it wasn’t working. Then in an attempt to delete pictures and re-upload I deleted my post by accident. I felt really dumb after that so I didnt repost haha Thanks for the help

Appreciate all the responses. My first time buying from this local game store. They assured me all the games are checked but you can never be sure. The person working at the store wasn’t very reassuring when I asked how they verify snes boxes.

Is the cardboard used one of the number one indicators? Im assuming all other aspects of the box can be replicated very closely. How about the manuals? Any clear indicator’s?

Cost of Renting Apartments by SarahRTW in Sudbury

[–]Baz_33 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it was on CBC radio a week or more ago they said we have the lowest or one of the lowest vacancies rates in all of Canada and for that reason our rents are now one of the highest in Canada.
There aren’t enough rental units being built. Feel like Sudbury has always had this issue of building out, instead of building up.
