Ummm, 6,000 Yen is $65.  ::)

EDIT: Well, 648 Yen is still $7 US, plus you have to pay for shipping, which will be at least $5 more. $6 won't cover it, captain.

Only polite to give someone something for their time :)

I'm thinking of making a trip to Taiwan myself. Only question is, is it worth it? :P

"I'll try to pick up large amounts of cheap cartridges that are entirely based on the Japanese language which I guarantee you will not be able to play. I know of a great game but if you can't read Japanese you won't get very far in it. I'll try to find the games you want if you simply list them. Requirements however include that you must frequent FamicomWorld forums quite often, and you may only choose two games! I will charge the full price of the game plus shipping from Ohio, USA. I don't require money right away, but I won't ship your item until you pay me.

Dearest 133Mhz, if there is something you need I will be happy to help you find it. You've helped me in the past :)"


Not trying to be an asshole here, but come on. You can type better than that.

Must be in good condition. If you happen to spot one, please PM me. As long as it isn't super overpriced, I'll definitively buy it off you.

Thanks, and post pics of your travels! We all wish we were in your shoes!

I liked Taiwan better than Japan. And Super Potato was meh. Had a lot of stuff but there were cheaper Famicom games elsewhere.

Have fun in Japan and buy until you can't, because outside Japan gaming stuff is kinda overpriced really.
