Likewise I imagine there is some reason a SNES game wont fit into an SFC.

SFC carts are smaller and have a bit of a rounded front, so SNES games can't even get throught the SFC's dust door.

To stay on topic, I picked up 2 FC games at a local flea market on Sunday: F1Circus and a Pirate of that Jewels game by Hwang.

All of the auctions i bought on yahoo japan thru shopping mall japan arrived today
i just started taking apart the first fds and already found the first belt turned to gooee mess. I will post pics tomorrow.
I got 2 fds  w/ 1 complete in box with ac in box
1 sharp twin system black
tetris and mahjong in box with everything mint
and a bunch of games including dragon ball z 1 and 3, Kirby 2 top guns and some others i cant read

Heres some pics
btw The first disk system (one out side the box) has the chip you can write the games with.  Also i changed the belt and it works great. Which is awesome cause my first fds doesn't work ever. I'm gonna start working on the twin today

how much was that twin?

[Nickv]

I just changed the belt on the twin and it works great!
The ac is also perfect and only cost me 10 bucks. The system was 10$ plus shipping from seller to japan to me. everything totaled out to about 200$ with 2 day shipping from japan. Its not great but the twin is perfect condition, barely any dust at all in it. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. If anyone wants twin adapters i will make you one like mine for 10bucks plus shipping. I'm gonna work on sourcing some ac adapters and famicom adapters.

Excellent find, the last "junk" Famicom Twin I found on YahooJ ended up going past my bid of $20 so I skipped on it.  I'm running out of room for all this junk

Madman, I am just getting started.  I just surfed yahoo japan and there are tons of stuff I want to buy.

Got my Chaotic Cube from 1970 today! Mine is the green version though and came CIB like new! The seller didnt know it was technically made by Nintendo (its printed on the toy and the plastic case itself but not on the box) so it went under the radar of a lot of buyers! I got it for $10!

[Nickv]

Wow vealchop you always find the early nintendo stuff. Its so hard to find that stuff using the ebay search unless you search all the names of the toys they made.

[madman]

Knowing where to look is the key for good ebaying   I've gotten some great deals on misspelled items that never show up on searches.  Also, being in the right place at the right time for a BIN where the seller obviously hasn't looked at previous auctions for the same/similar items.

[Nickv]

Well you guys are rite. I won this auction for 2 decks of cards. They didn't list in the title anything about one being nintendo brand cards so i won it for 9 bucks. Check it out
