Current Events > Renewed game cartridges on Amazon

(+) Yeah! (+)

Considering buying one. Looks brand new, has box, etc, $20 cheaper than used.

Anyone have any experience with them or know anything about? Sounds like an old busted cart that somebody fixed up, which, it it actually works, is fine with me. But that wouldn't explain the box...

I bought a few of them once and never had a problem. But from checking out reviews you can get anything from it, from dirty games that's sticky to the touch to brand new looking games. It's a gamble, but with how Amazon customer service you can easily return anything if it's not up to your standards tbh

I've never heard of these, but from some quick searches it sounds like they're original cartridges but potentially have reprinted labels and boxes. I'd be suspicious of any of the more valuable games having reproduction circuit boards.

That last bit is actually something I'm apprehensive about. I'm not particularly interested in the whole thing being original or anything (I'm ok with a hot rod in place of an antique, so to speak), but I looked into so-called "reproduction cartridges" a while back and it just feels wrong to tear apart an existing game for this purpose. Sure, it would be one nobody's interested in anyway. But still...
