I've got two different ones. One's the HoneyBee and the other is called Turbo. I don't quite get how they're supposed to be useful.

What's a cartridge extentor?

It's a boxy looking thing that connects like a game into the Famicom and then has a slot at the top to connect a Famicom game into it. The purpose seems to be to keep the pins on the Famicom from wearing out...instead the pins on the extender wear out. I'll have to post the two I have on the site sometime soon.

And kite, I got lucky with the two I've got. I was searching for a Game Doctor and came across a doctor and the HoneyBee, plus a SFC adaptor. And the second one I got in another lot. I wasn't even looking for the extender both times I found 'em.

Hi,  I got mine on ebay in an FDS game lot that included disks and a game doctor.  I rarely see these extenders on ebay.  I bet they are on Yahoo Japan though.

There was one on eBay that JC & I found; by the way, did you win that, JC? That Good Boy Converter or whatever it was called had about a $25 bid + about $10 to ship. :(

Why is the shipping so high on just a small item..it's a rip off

Wait, I think it was in Euros. :-\ I forgot.  It could have been nearer to 5 dollars.

Still was too much.

That was a converter, not an extender, right Jedi? And it was being shipped from the UK. I never bid. If you're patient, you'll find HoneyBees for cheap in lots or mislisted.
