Really 1,50? Only shipping is about $10 for the states...
I always downshift near a hybrid, so they can hear me hurt the environment...

I know how much shipping costs, and I don't expect anyone to sell me only 1 or 2 games. I've bought several large lots for around this price before.

Are you interested in receiving quotes on individual carts that are higher that $1.50 for sure?  (e.g. I have a loose Chip to Dale no Daisakusen 2)

Most of the games you listed that you need are good and are actually worth some good money.  Good luck on this.

I plan on getting the entire loose set eventually, so feel free to send me offers. Although I'm not in any hurry, so I'm not going to buy stuff unless it's a good deal (it's taken me 5 years of collecting to get this far).

Believe me, I know what each game is worth - I wrote a price guide for this stuff. I still need over half the FC lineup, and there's plenty of Mahjong/Igo/sports/graphic adventure games to go. I don't expect to get expensive games super cheap if that's your impression of this post; I just copied/pasted the entire list of games I need.

Hebereke's on that list :)

Trouble is, it's just not worth anyone's trouble to sell spares and junk for that price here.

You can find Japanese sellers doing that where they may get carts for free - but this is a western community mostly and so I don't think you'll find many people rushing at this opportunity.

There are deals on job lots on eBay from Japanese sellers that would help you, but you'll still have to sell your duplicates.  At $1.50 a piece you may struggle to make that work for you.  Best to get a game a piece and find the best price - it can be done.

The cheapest I have seen a famicom game go for is 50c with $2 postage so good luck.

This is just my 2 cents, it might be a bit difficult at that price.  Even with surface shipping from Japan (which is pretty cheap) that leaves less than 1$ per cart for the seller, which is less than what you pay for the average game cart in a large lot off of Yahoo Auctions or at a junk shop in Japan, which are the cheapest places to get them.  If you are mostly looking for Mahjong and baseball carts you could probably find a taker, but if you want some of the better games on the list you might try bumping the price offered up a bit.

I sell my cheap games for $3.99 shipped in Canada only... I wish I could help you but $1.50 is me paying to give you free games :P

This thread has turned into a shit show. Congratulations!


I noticed. Sad to see so much threadcrapping here - if you don't like what I posted, then move on.

I probably should've just not put a price in the topic at all. People seem to have gotten the idea that I wanted really expensive games for $1.50. I do think it's realistic though for 100+ games left on my list (I still have a lot of cheap titles to get).
