Racketboy Store 2.0 Ideas

[Niode]

What about shock boxes for Neo Geo MVS carts. I'd love to get some of those, but I can't find them to buy anywhere, especially to the UK.

Retro controllers, IE Saturn Pads, official SNES pads etc.

Controller conversions. EG SNES - USB, NES - USB etc.

I quite like the universal case idea. I'd probably get some of those.

One idea that came from the last discussion on Dreamcast VGA. You should get a load of VGA cables wholesale and sell them as a 'tick' option on the checkout when people purchase the DC VGA cable/box. If people aren't sure that they need one, they'll probably get one anyway just to be sure.

RB branded stuff, like T-shirts or even just retro memorabilia in any form.

I think the idea for some of the articles made into book form would be a great idea, you could put all the articles from one section into a book and sell for example a 'Hidden Gems' book. That would be pretty cool.

I can't think of anything else.

Maybe you could sell DVD inserts for games for people to lazy or for some reason unable to print them out themselves/.

+1 for this. I have 2 huge collections that could benefit greatly from this.

sadly selling re-printed cover art would qualify as copyright/trademark infringement. You're profiting off of the design of someone else.

Lots of the cases on the cover project are custom cases.... they would be copyrighted by the people who made them.. Racket could get them to agree to let him sell them, or they themselves could sell printouts of the designs themselves. Or someone here could go though and design covers for sale on this site. Depending on what country the artists are from they copyrights may be expired as well.
Anyway, since it seems to be too much of a hassle overall, maybe Racket could through in FREE game covers with purchase of Univeral Game Cases. And raise the price of cases with covers by a buck.

Would anyone want to buy original videogame related shirts?

If you could get the equipment to do this it'd be cool.

Something useful, like RCA cables, S-Video cables, AC adapters, a little something for the modding/importing community's, like Action Replays for Xbox and Saturn.

Tiny and cheap parts such as capacitors and fuses could also be a great idea.

Very good idea, you could grab some of these in bulk

It would make it easier to tell people what to do when they have Sega CD problems

I would be totally good for some Dreamcast or N64 controller extension cables. The DVD cases would be an EXCELLENT idea.

T-shirts and things like that can be done without going through some mom & pop print store. Cafepress, zazzle and the like do it much cheaper, and leave little to no over head for the proprietor...

The only problem would be images, because you can't rip off the jsr logos and characters...

CD jewel cases are a good item to stock as well. This site has great prices on single, double, and quad CD cases and has bulk shipments at reasonable prices. They supposedly make custom cases as well, so brand new Sega CD, Saturn, or early PS1 longboxes may be a possibility.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the only way to get 3 Disc jewel cases is to order the quad cases unassembled and simply not snap in the fourth spindle on the black divider/hinge as they don't manufacture 3 Disc cases by themselves.
