I was organizing my video games the other day and came across an unopened Pokemon SoulSilver with Pokewalker Accessory in box. I looked up what an unopened box would be and to my surprise saw a range between 250 -350 dollars on Ebay. I wanted to make sure this game stayed in brand new shape, so I searched Ebay for a box protector for this specific game. I actually found one there by a Ebay seller “retroprotection”. I ordered the box protector for a reasonable price with shipping. I then went online to a retro gaming group and asked if there was a website that sold most retro game protective boxes and one gamer sent me the link for https://retroprotection.com/. I come to find out that the Ebay seller and website are the same companies. When I logged into the website, I noticed right away all the different consoles that they offered for box protectors . US and Japanese. I then went on to order a few more case protectors for my Atari Lynx games, NES games and Super Nintendo game boxes. The prices were sold by individuals, packs of 5, 10, 50,100. A few days later the items were shipped out. I was very impressed with the speedy shipping. Then I checked my email and saw I had Paypal refunds of 1.20 and 1.58 for the company of RetroProtectors. I was confused as I saw the item ship and the total was more than the 1.20 refund. I emailed the company just to find out and immediately got a response back from the owner saying that the shipping cost on the website was more than what it did cost to ship to me, and he refunded me the difference. I was really impressed with that business practice and honesty. I am a full time customer now and will be ordering many more box protectors going forward from them. I really wanted to promote this website and spread the word for those who have not visited it yet. I really recommend it. Here is a bit about the company.
