I was offered a plane ticket to either HK or Taiwan, which is best to hunt for pirates?

Did you see it at a Night Market I assume? I was wondering how often those sellers change their stock, I always made sure to ask if they had another other games not on the table and they usually pulled out a couple of blue boxes that had lots of duplicates of what was already available. Still, they surely must occasionally get more games. I still wonder how long those Somari's sat at that one guy's stand. Lots of foreign tourists go through that night market and no one picked them up. Impossible! :P

I saw it at the main night market in Taipei. It was a dude and his wife on a little side street off the main drag who had two tables packed with Famicom games. I bet they do pretty well, particularly with Asian tourists more familiar with the system. I told myself I'd only spend $100, so I didn't get everything I wanted.

I don't know any night market that really is considered the main one. Shilin Night Market possibly? I only found one stand there and it was in a section of the market that had a roof and felt like it was underground or something. Only interesting pirate they had was Fighting Heroes 2, but it was cart only and I know I've seen it boxed before so I passed :P

BTW before I get more requests I'm only going to be selling the second Somari, the 15-in-1, the 4-in-1, Pipedream and the Millionaire game from Sachen. All the rest are my personal treasures :P And I've already got offers for the Somari and 15-in-1.

Fighting Heroes 2, as in the sequel to the one you have? I've never even seen that one before, only 1 and 3.

Not sure if I used the right name. Maybe it was called World Heroes 2 instead? The one that lets you play as Sonic.

ah yeah, that's World Heroes 2.
