Any place to get genuine Gameboy boxes other than ebay?

[drojman]

Hi folks,

For the longest time I've been unable to find a replacement box for my Pokemon Gold. I have the manual and cart just no box. I was wondering if anyone knew of a place other than ebay that might have something? I tried a repro box but it's just not the same. The only one listed on ebay is just ridiculously expensive, more than a full CIB game.

Thank you.

Same for me.

You can try etsy.com
I had my replacement Dracula X from that site, it looks allmost genuine.

Buy a CIB then sell the cartridge.

I doubt anyone has been stockpiling cardboard game boy color boxes from 18 years ago to give away to collectors. I'd either go with a repro cardboard box like koffieleut said or pay the $25-$100 (USD) for a replacement original box if it has to be the original piece of cardboard from Nintendo.

This one is in pretty awesome condition: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Game-Boy-P...c-BOX-and-INSERTS-ONLY-FREE-SHIP/323158268246

Thanks very much. I was able to grab a well priced a box in reasonable condition here in the UK, yet while still being the US version. I don't know the odds of that, but I am very happy.
