Title: Kai's Mystery Grab Bag Round 2!
Post by: manuel on May 08, 2012, 06:36:12 pm
I did that a while ago and it was quite a success. (See here. (http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=6786.0))

So my offer today is: 20 Famicom games of my son Kai's choice for 50$ shipped (or 4000 Yen resp.) to Europe, North America or Asia!
Small print: Shipping to South America costs a few $ more.

Kai is now 4 years old and he still likes to choose Famicom games!  ;D
Carts will be from my listed and unlisted stash. I'll make sure there will be no doubles. Other than that, no promises.  :yoshi:

Please only inquire if you're okay with the stated conditions and can pay within a reasonable time frame. Thanks.

as of June 19, 0 of 4 sets available. All gone! Maybe I'll do another round soon. If there's more interest, just post in this thread or pm me.

edit: This guy will choose the games.  :)

 ;D

I'm saving up for something, so I prefer cash right now, but a trade would also be good if you have something I want.

I assume the list of games is limited right? No chance of that little guy pulling out a Recca or Gimmick from your shelfs eh?  ;D
Title: Re: Kai's Mystery Grab Bag Round 2!
Post by: manuel on May 09, 2012, 05:03:04 pm
Thanks Alana!

@Trenton: Yeah, I don't have Recca or Gimmick, so there's a 0 chance he'll pull those out.

This looks like a good way to try out new games without being brutally obsessive (or another way to get shanked into Tower of Druaga). :help:
Title: Re: Kai's Mystery Grab Bag Round 2!
Post by: manuel on May 09, 2012, 10:14:14 pm
Tower of Druaga isn't so bad.  ;D
I think I only have one copy, so the chance of it being chosen is very small.  :crazy:

I was trying to find a topic that was posted here to prove my point, then I realized I was the one who created it: :-[

http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=7334.0

So essentially I'm using myself (who hasn't played enough of the game) as a reference. ??? Yeah, it's 2:00 in the morning (I'm taking a break from an all-nighter <-last one for the semester I hope.) Gawdmylife. :-\

wow, this is a great idea! I hope your kid gets some of the profits for doing all the hard work!
Title: Re: Kai's Mystery Grab Bag Round 2!
Post by: manuel on May 15, 2012, 04:53:03 pm
Well... he forces me to play the games he chooses...  :crazy:
So we're even.  ;D
Nah, of course I'll buy him his favorite ice cream!  :star:

Post by: garyptaszek on May 16, 2012, 03:00:15 am
I'm very interested, however, how much more do I have to pay to pick one of the games myself  ::)... I've seen one game amongst your other sale thread that I'm also very interested in.
Title: Re: Kai's Mystery Grab Bag Round 2!
Post by: manuel on May 16, 2012, 03:04:55 am
Which one?
A couple of them are on hold right now, but if the request is reasonable I think we can talk.  ;)

You've got me curious, does "Kai" mean anything or is it simply a name?
Title: Re: Kai's Mystery Grab Bag Round 2!
Post by: manuel on May 16, 2012, 06:48:40 am
Kai is a traditional German name and also a Japanese name. And it's easy to pronounce. Those were the main reasons we chose it.
In kanji it's written 櫂, meaning "oar".

That's a very cool name :)  My little guys name is Tiger lol

It's a used Japanese name but it means oar?  Strange.  Alana, is he named after Tiger Woods?

lol nope, my husband suggested it jokingly cause he heard it on a radio show and I said I would consider it until I thought of something I liked better, lol obviously I didn't think of anything good :)  It actually fits him quite good :p

We should all thank tiger woods for making it an accepted name.  It sure beats platypus!

Post by: Alana on May 18, 2012, 08:49:06 am
At least Tiger can be shorted to Ti  :)   Guess you could shorten platypus, it could be Platy lol which isn't nearly as cool :p
