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. :)

That photo is awesome, I got my NES and Super Mario bros for Christmas when I was 4 years old. :)
Thanks. :)
That is one adorable kid! It almost makes me want to buy but alas i'm poor for a while
;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.
Really tempted to give this a whirl.
Hmm sounds interesting :) I'm in!

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
Thanks Alana!
@Trenton: Yeah, I don't have Recca or Gimmick, so there's a 0 chance he'll pull those out.
I did this last time around i was really pleased with the games
Glad to hear that, Jay! ;D
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:
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. :-\
The first package went out today!
Still 3 available!
wow, this is a great idea! I hope your kid gets some of the profits for doing all the hard work!
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:
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.
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?
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?
Kid Dracula? ;D
I'd do this again but I'm practically skint at the moment. :(
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!
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
Bump!
consider one sold! Just waiting for cash to clear into my paypal... they reckon 24th it'll be sorted.
Yes, yours is the 2nd one.
Still 2 available. :)
Im interested. Pm me paypal info please. ;D
PM sent! ;D
Payment sent. Hope kai picks out some winners!
I got my package the other day, here's one picture, I'll take pics of the rest later. Kai picked out a lot of cool stuff for me :D Totally worth it!
Thanks Kai!
Alana
