Looks like these go for $2 used at Gamestop. Wondering how they are... namely, how many GBA cartridges could I fit in each?

Wow I think I remember seeing that case years ago when I still worked for them. If i remember right, they were nice in appeal, but only par in function. I hope that helps :)

They look nice, but they fall apart quickly. If I remember correctly you can get about 10 in the slots on the inside. For $2 its ok, but for the $20 they use to charge it was robbery.

only 10 games? If I'm putting nothing in it other than games even? My thought is for $2 a piece I should grab as many of these as I can. But it looks to me like I should be able to fit at least 30 carts in there, no?

If you arent storing a console/cables in it you probably could fit up to 30. Sorry, its been years since Ive played with one. At $2 I would risk it.

I hit it up 2 GS's that were supposed to have em in stock today. The first place told me it was a mistaken sku (without actually looking it up or checking or anything). Second place, the guy was like "Oh man that sounds so familiar!" and he found one in the back room for me. It's actually a perfect size for me, so if anyone can find me any more of these at their local GS, I'd like a few more! :)

I'm glad you found one, I'm surprised they were still around!

So I'm curious, how many games did you find out you could get in it?

A LOT! The one that I got actually was missing the foam separators in the picture, so it's basically just a box that can fit a ton of GBA carts. The top is padded, which will them in. And actually appears that I can fit GB carts as well, as the padding seems to allow. I'll try to remember to count or take a pic later tonight.
