Title: $250 bounty
Post by: nensondubois on May 31, 2010, 08:48:45 pm
I have grown impatient finding no Ebay (and just about every place I can think of, including Yahoo Japan auctions) results for a copy of Gimmick! for the Famicom. I'm sure someone here has it or knows where to find it. Thanks. Payment will be Money Order or cash only.

Good luck finding it, but really the game doesnt look good, thereofre i hope/ assume its for the rarity factor.

Have you actually played it? It's not bad at all, seems to be of the quality right up there with some of the best NES games. Almost feels like a different take on Kirby to me.

The only reason he wants it is because it has a special sound chip in it. ::)  Personally, I think the game is fun.  Definitely not worth what it goes for, but fun nonetheless.

Anyone have it instead of questioning why I want it? :-\

Cart only is rare, too, but a bit easier to find.

I'd really like it to be complete, but a loose copy will have to do if a complete copy isn't found. The label has to be intact with no discoloration if possible, too.

I spoke with a friend who thinks he has a loose cart available. He has 400 famicom carts and is going to check but it will take a couple of days.
What would you pay for a loose cartridge? I mentioned your $100 bounty and then he asked if it needed to be complete....

I have another friend/seller in Japan that can get you this game. It might take a little work but he watches over all of the Japanese auctions and contacts other sellers that have the product he needs and is looking for, for his customers.

If you are still interested here, please post here and let me know.

Thanks for helping me, syd231. Unfortunately it didn't work out. Stupid bidding shit. Ugh!

Still looking folks.

Too bad as I thought that Syd could help you!

It wasn't his fault at all, just the bidding situation at hand. I thanked him for trying. :)

how much should one expect to pay for legitimate but a cart only copy?
Title: Re: $250 bounty
Post by: nensondubois on November 29, 2010, 09:04:09 pm
80 -150 for the cart alone depending on the condition.
