    I'm located in the USA and need a standard PAL blue case to fix my copy of Shenmue II, which has 1 brand new case and 1 completely broken and shattered case.

    I've looked for affordable PAL games on ebay to cannibalize and at the replacement PAL game cases sold on ebay UK, but overseas shipping kind of kills the deal on these, and affordable PAL games seem to rarely crop up from US sellers on ebay. I'm hopefully looking for someone who can ship domestic within the US. Pricewise, I'm thinking $5 + shipping, for a great condition no-cracks no broken hinge case with all the teeth intact, minor scuffs could be ok.

    You won't find a single PAL collection without a broken case and as such you'll struggle to find people with spares too. Due to how crappy the PAL cases are, they may break in shipping to you too.

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEGA-DREA...ideo_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item51a1ed4f3b

    £1.49 + £4.20 to ship to the states. About $9.20 USD.

    As it is one of the older games it has the printed, not the moulded label.

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyracer-...ideo_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item5ae975c8ae

    £2.99 + £3.00 shipping to the states. About $9.70 USD.

    Newer game with moulded label. PAL exclusive to boot.

    You're offering $5USD and will probably be stuck with a good few dollars in S&H too, even if you did find one stateside, a dollar or two between them isnt a big deal.

    Thanks guys, I'm looking into an ebay alternative right now which could be 3 cases, and waiting to hear from the seller about the cost of shipping. The Trickstyle auction, along with several other cheap auctions from Europe have damaged cases (broken hinges, cracks, etc). The Toyracer auction could work though.

    I've never had a problem. Things I have bought from them came in a reasonable time.

    Oh yea make me jelly..... Took 6 weeks if memory serves, vs the 3 weeks every other time I have bought stuff from the UK/Europe. They do sell nice stuff, but I am hesitant to buy from again.
