manuel's "I'll look for your stuff"-thread

[manuel]

As stated in the title, I'll (try to) look for stuff for you. Just tell me what you want (not only Famicom, but all you can think of), if you want it loose or CIB and a rough price you'd be willing to pay.
Allow me a few days or a week or two and I'll come back to you with what I found.

If there were a few bucks in for me for every transaction I'd be happy.

You should definitely make a profit doing this, for your time and effort .

[JC]

You ought to do something a bit more formal...just so there are no problems. You need to keep people from requesting too much stuff with no intention of paying. For instance, with a contact I have, I get charged a fee for his efforts ($10), plus I pay all shipping costs (in Japan and outside), and I pay any associated purchase fees (like bank transfers, etc.).

I don't want any Famicom stuff at the moment, but I'd love pics of gaming stores and rare "behind-the-glass" stuff, for the site -- whenever you have time.

Thanks for doing this for members! (I can't wait for your eBay store -- you know it's just a matter of time.)

[manuel]

Thanks for the hints JC. I didn't think of that myself. 
Of course at first I'd preferrably look for stuff for respected members of this site.

Maybe later I'll even open up an eBay store.

manuel, I'm still after a red Family BASIC V3. Please if you can find one, I'll pay for it (whatever it should cost......within a certain resonable range) and I'll make sure to send a few bucks your way for your help. I can appriciate what JC is saying, but don't let that deter you. I have full intention of paying you. The V3 is pretty much the sole Famicom item I'm really after. Thanks!

V3 never seemed too expensive on YHJ. Are you planning to use YHJ, manuel? I ask because I hear stores are expensive, while YHJ is reasonable.

Find me Mario 8 or don doko don 2

Maybe it depends on what you and I personally deem as "expensive/reasonable".  Basically everything over 50$ is expensive to me. I'm a cheap-ass. 

There's only 1 copy of V3 on YHJ now and it's 9000Yen with shipping.

I have some small online shops which have fantastic prices on some items.
Of course I intend to use YHJ auctions too in the future.

(not only Famicom, but all you can think of)

Does this apply to candy?

[JC]

Basically everything over 50$ is expensive to me.

That's expensive to me, too. I think I've seen them on YHJ for $20 or less. I've seen some in lots that go for less, when you average the price of each cart. I've considered buying it for cheap prices, but then I remembered that I've got no use for it. Not interested in it.

[MaxXimus]

I wouldn't mind some Pepsi Ice Cucumber.

[nurd]

That's what I was thinking!

But I think liquids cost more to ship.
