I use to sell games on eBay a long time ago and I still have quite the collection. So I made these display stands for my games. Would’ve killed to have these back when I was selling them!

Of the carts I have shown here we have stands for

    If anyone doubts OP’s nerd cred, that appears to be a Sony Playstation 3D Display in the background, there. That is definitely a niche piece of gaming history.

      Fun story about it. When I bought it I was selling games and was buying from a guy who had a tub full of Skylander figures and games.

      Bought it for the price of the games, made a profit, kept the TV for myself since it was so much better than anything I had before. And I didn’t know what to do with the skylanders. Apparently they had value since a family member was able to offload them all.

        That’s what I used it for too. Still would be using it if the screen didn’t periodically reboot while using it.

          That’s a thermal problem they all have. Ruin your collector’s value by hacking a hole on the back and adding a fan over the mainboard and it’ll stop doing that.

          I know somebody who also uses one as a PC monitor still.

            Yeah that totally makes sense. That said it’s more of a prop now, and it’s not on long enough for it to have this issue.
