Famicom stuff is disappearing from Ali Express!

[maxellnormalbias]

Nothing's there except 5 pages, all selling Coolboy multicarts. It could because of Chinese New Year but megadrive stuff is up, only th famicom stuff disappeared.

...and those 5 have disappeared. What the heck is going on?

[L___E___T]

My guess is just Chinese New Year...

[maxellnormalbias]

But the megadrive stuff's still up. That doesn't make any sense.

Blast processing takes no holidays.

[L___E___T]

Yup, gotta trade fast.

[MaxXimus]

That's because it isn't an issue. Businesses close down around now until the end of the month which means no stock. I'm actually happy to see that they aren't trying to oversell past their stock. Everything will be back up in a couple weeks.

[maxellnormalbias]

Actually, yeah, that was a stupid post to make....

It is a shame that they will come back...Ali Express will be the death of Famicom collecting, I think.

ha i doubt it, fcgamer. The quality of the old pirate games is better, and honestly i will always prefer them for their style and content. I have yet to buy anything famicom from aliexpress and i doubt i ever will.

Don't be assumptive

Heh, I am glad that there are at least two of us that think alike then! 

I just got a few more clone carts for my personal collection, but I am happy they are the old originals from the 90s.

"Back in my day to get an 8-in-1, you had to walk 50 miles, uphill, in the snow, BOTH WAYS! YOU KIDS HAVE IT TOO GOOD! *snore*"

Seriously though, Ali Express is not the death of Famicom collecting. People who look for deals on Ali Express are different from people who want all the pulse line games, or want a rare Super HIK. I don't really consider myself a collector at all actually.

This little beauty popped up on Ali Express today. Nothing special (just Coolboy Multicart TV game cartridges) but tomorrow night we might see most of the good stuff come back.

(For people that don't know, Ali Express stopped carrying Famicom stuff for chinese new year or something. So a little trickle of Famicrap might have good signs for the future?)

More 8-in-1s. More $9 Battletoads!

I've merged these Ali express topics - let's keep that supply discussion in one thread please

How is this the death of Famicom collecting? You know you can still buy official real games from Japan pretty easily.

I don't understand why all these bootlegs and multicarts are so popular here, but I know you guys really like them

I would imagine that part of it is that some of them contain pirate originals. Pretty hard to get those from Japan
