Title: Good source for cheap games?
Post by: ChloeTigre on May 10, 2018, 11:48:47 pm
Hi,

I'm planning to restore and sell Famicoms as a side-business but noticed it would be better if I sold them with a game in the box, so people can actually play their Fami.

Fact is I don't want to amputate my collection of its good parts (Mario, Megaman, Final Fantasy, Fantasy Zone... about 30 games I'd say) and I don't have a lot of dupes.

So I've been thinking and here are my options:

- cartmods, but they sound very much like counterfeit software to me if I'm to sell them
- 999-in-one Chinese clone games but then which ones have good games?
- buying old stock, or dupes, on sites like here, for $5 each.

What do you think?

Many end user consumers are quite happy with reproduction carts, as long as you specify it. (Though personally, I'm not a fan)

If you go to the various threads in BST, you have FCgamer, mt777, as well as several others selling large amounts of cheap cartridges both pirate and legitimate. There are some really good people in this community that are more than happy to offload their carts to you cheaply if you are willing to buy a bunch.


Thanks for the mention mate! 

Yup, I do have some official stuff, and I always try to clear that out cheaper and in bulk, just can't compete with those guys living in Japan selling it.  ;)

Also have a lot of unofficial stuff, always willing to cut a deal when selling multiples, since I am friendly and also like to minimilize trips to the post office :D

I would go with good multicarts - give them good choices to get started with right away.

In fact I have a whole bunch I would like to sell - I'll advertise them here in case you're interested.
