Flaws to Note
Significant label damage on the top and right side (lifting/missing print), minor scratching on the grey plastic shell, unverified working condition requiring pin cleaning.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary market for loose retro games. Mercari or local retro gaming groups on Facebook are also excellent options to avoid high fees.
Selling Tips
Clean the contacts with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab before selling. Highlight the 'Authentic' nature in the title. Take a photo of the rear label and top edge. Note the label damage clearly to avoid returns. Ship in a padded mailer inside a small box to prevent shell cracking.
