When I was in NYC I sometime finding old Famicom games and almost never FDS disks so Im here to ask some fav,

I need help in fing more Famicom games and systems.

I dont know whos here that lives in or near Japan but I know some games there could go cheaper then ebay or online store (unless theres some online store that sells them cheap and dont know of any) some ask me to go to Yahoo Jap auction but I cant read Japanese and my old PC cant use thouse JAP to ENG text browser right.

At first I wanted to take a trip to Japan but there was many things that was too pricy,

1: The plane tickets would be to high for me just for old gaming systems and carts.
2: Hotel night I hear in Japan are crazy high price and I dont know anyone who lives there I can shack for a week or more so that mean I cant go there with out a tour guide who knows the right stores to shop other then Super Potato gaming store that sells there stuff very expensive.

So I hope some one could help in making my Famicom collection grow more and played all the games I wpuld love to play out side of emulators^_^

This page is all YHJ's Famicom stuff: http://list4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/22853-category.html. The links at the left are genres and other categories, like FDS and accessories. To buy, you can use a site like Shopping Mall Japan or Rinka (or something like that). Otherwise, try eBay.

Also say if I link a page from this site can you or someone here can tell me how much it is from Japanese to US dollar price? Plus how can I bid on it? I dont have a credit card or paypal:P Is there a way I can said some one the money to bid on that page or buy now depend on how much it is?

Without PayPal or a CC/Debit, it's next to impossible. Most people don't want to deal with MOs or bank checks, etc. And to get an idea of the price, just input the amount into an online money converter.

Well this might be a long shot but you can try going to your local flea markets and try and find famicom carts there...I found some so it's not impossible.
