Add a "Reproduction" condition to video game listings
When adding a new game to my collection, occasionally, i purchase a "reproduction" of a game. Generally, most of my games are originals, but I'll purchase a reproduction for something if it is beyond my price range. In addition to "New and Sealed", CIB, Manual Only, "Has Scratches", "Has Stickers", etc, can you please add a condition "Is a Reproduction" ? This would mean a different value than having the original - probably just set the value to zero as a start, but at least I can filter for reproductions.

Reproduction can apply to all items, a box, manual, burned disc, or a disc case insert.
You can also mix, have a reproduction cart in an original box with original manual (replacing a lost copy of an expensive game), or a reproduction box with an original manual and disc (Super Mario World SNES is most likely).
EDIT: While I don't have reproduction items, I do have "converted" items where someone's cut up a SNES box and placed it into a Universal Game Case. I can either not add it to the collection (if there are multiple items in the set), or made a note that one or more components are reproductions.
Additional edit: While I don't have reproduction items, I've either not added it to tracking in PC, or added it with a note that one or more components are reproductions.
Reproduction is a problem that for now is on the rise in any area of collecting. Many sellers tell you that a reproduced product is original and so unfortunately many fall for these scams, also these products have no economic or sentimental value.
If I have a complete game, but the box is a reproduction, I would throw away that box and keep the manual and the cartridge, but hey, that's just my way of thinking.
Hopefully no reproductions will ever be added here, in any way.
