I'm slowly cleaning out my Famicom stuff, but on the fence about keeping a few items. I have a brand new and boxed Super Mario World for Famicom (does not include instructions) that is 100% mint. I have a mint and boxed Somari (played once) that I don't believe has instructions but I can check the box. I also have a CONY "brand" SF2 pirate that is boxed w/instructions. The box and instructions have seen better days, but it's rare to find a CIB copy. I'm sticking my foot in the water to see what kind of offers I can get for these. Thanks. I can upload pics later tonight or tomorrow.
If you live in the U.S I would be interested in Somari
Yep, I'm in the US. I know the going rate for loose SMWs is around $50-60 so I'd expect a little more for a new one that is boxed. Somaris go for less than that, but again this is boxed so don't send an offer of $10 or something ;D I'll try to do pictures tonight as I'm cleaning out my closet preparing to EBay a bunch of other stuff I don't use.
What's your eBay account?
i am interested in the smw but you want about $70?? right
I'm tramer77 on EBay 100% positives...done some deals on here in the past too.
Here are pics of Somari and SMW I got from the seller when I bought them, they are still in the same condition:

ME WANT SUPER MARIO WORLD....... :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
How much would you sell the Somari for? I probably wouldn't buy it if it was over $30 :P
Hmm...they're all neat. I don't think you'll get Somari for $30. BTW: Did Somari and Super come with manuals. I know most pirated games had only boxes. For instance, I've to got Super with a box and no manual.
Yea, only SF2 had instructions. I may put Somari on EBay and take best offers for the others on here.
youre probably going to take like 100$ for the SMW port.
no srsly what do you want for it
MAN I WISH I HAD MONEY!!!
OH man I can't believe you are selling your boxed pirate games. I remember when you got them I was like wow he is probably never going to let them go. Anyways, best of luck selling them as for me I don't have anywhere near a decent offer to offer you.

I may put Somari on EBay
Yes...do that.
You think it will go for under $30 on EBay? I've seen loose Somaris go for more on there.
Really? I guess I didn't figure many people on eBay knew what pirates were :P
I think when he said that he wouldn't get it for $30, he was saying it would cost much more thatn $30 :P
Yeah I know, I meant that I didn't know that so many people on eBay knew how awesome pirates were :P
I'm wondering where the Somari came from :P
The cartridge, plastic thing, and box look near professional.
The other ones just look like pirate boxes :P
Yeah..it's almost like it's a real game ::)
Good ol' piraters
I think he had/has a contact in Hong Kong. That's the only place I've seen CIBs, with some rare exceptions in Argentina -- saw a BIC CIB -- and Taiwan -- saw a couple Chinese RPG CIBs. Since I don't like boxes and manuals, I hardly ever buy them. But, I have about five unlicensed with boxes, not counting disks like Hacker and Super Pig. The most professional are BIC's releases, which look like any licensed release.

Somehow I envy you.
Really.
I always try to convince myself that I don't need the boxes, but I'm always looking for CIB. :(
Cart only is so much cheaper and easier to get...
That's why I'm even interested in this Somari. The box looks very appealing.
I never understood the fascination with Somari, it plays awfully, so does SMW but I find that interesting at least to see a comparison of how a port COULD have turned out if rushed to release.
But yeah, 70 bucks for a pirate is alot to me, even if it is new it's still a bad version of a great game in my eyes.
I got an offer of $45 for Somari...you guys think I should take this or put it on EBay?
I think you shouldn't let it go for less than $65. I'm surprised it's not selling for more than that offer. :-\
put it on ebay
eBay it. Definitely
Looks like I'll have to..but I'll be putting a reserve on there, so if anyone thinks they're gonna get it for $3 or something, that's not happening :)
Sounds good can't wait to see what it goes for.
A reserve? reserves are auction killers, just put a starting bid at 30 or something.
Did you decide anything on the SMW mate?
I've had better luck w/auctions starting at $1 w/ a reserve than starting auctions higher. People just like to bid, I've personally never had a reserve auction affect my bidding. Regardless of auction type, I bid what I'm willing to pay.
I haven't decided on SMW, but the offers that have been made are on here and it's not sold...so offering less won't get you the cart :)
Ahh ok, maybe stick it on ebay then? If you don't want to I offered $70 and that's probably more than I'd usually pay. If you decide that's good enough give me a shout bud.
eh, how much is smw going for?
Yeah whatever happened to these? Did they go or do you still have them or what?
Two sold.

Both my Super Mario World and Somari games I got from madman are boxed.
Here is the thread (scroll down for pics). http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=2928.0
He has/had Street Fighter boxed as well
\/ Just the box and game for the ones I got.
Been gone for awhile w/work....SF2 boxed is still available. Have an offer of $40, considering that.
