You can try paying US$5000 in round trip air passage, plus hotel rates, food and accommodations, and maybe translation services to look... Then, maybe you can find a place that has one or two that went through a meat grinder for sale for about 80 Yen each. maybe a '999999999' in one with 999999999 copies of 'Convoy no Nazo' or of some Tose game. Frankly, you couldn't find a bunch of broken FC games with no labels for $1 each... Unless your dollars have a deign by George T. Morgan on them... The plastic casing and bare PCB are worth more than that.

One of my importers will sell me junk FC carts (mixed, with duplicates) in quantity (minimum 100) at 250 yen a pop. These are all either common, crappy, or dead games. 250 yen is about $3.00, plus postage, which brings it up to about $4.50 per game for a 'random anything' grab-bag or possibly 100 dead copies of Super Monkey Daibouken.

This kind of request qualifies (at least to me) as trolling in the first degree: Collecting vintage video games is a serious hobby and them being old doesn't mean junk, worthless, or free. It's quite the opposite, really, and this kind of offer on them, especially imported games, is terribly offensive. Seriously, a pack of chewing gum after tax is almost $1...sometimes more, if it has flavour or is unused.

If I had enough to be worth it, I'd sell you some Fami games for $1 apiece + shipping. They'd all be sports and mahjong titles tho. ATM I only have a couple, so it's not even worth the hassle of packaging and mailing.

I have lots of doubles (sports, racing, mahjong, wrestling, some shooting games...) I'd sell for 1$ a piece.  I didn't make a list yet, though, because I don't have the time. PM me if you're interested.
