[Hazerd]

Questions:

1. How did you afford all this if your just a student

2. Are you there JUST too read and write Japanese?

3. Why are SFC games CIB so damn cheap.

3. Why are SFC games CIB so damn cheap.

1. I was a waiter in America and I saved up a couple of thousand spending money. Also, state scholarship pays for school. You also have no idea what I paid for some of these. It's like trading dirt for gold.

2. Yes I am here as a foreign exchange student for a year. My purpose is to become fluent in Japanese.

3. Super famicom is hugely unpopular at the moment, and most games can be bought from 40 yen to 300yen.

Awesome collection! Be aware, though, how you're going to get it all back to the states...


Also while you're there, can you look up a specific Japanese game for the Saturn? It's called Radiant Somethingorother....

Sooooooooooooooo jealous of that Panasonic Q. Like super-mega-hyper jealous. How much did it set you back?

PigInTheMud indeed.

Are those Sharp Famis fully functional? I'd be more than glad to take one of your hands.

I'll be sure to look for it.

Ok!

Let's be friends!

Sure thing!

Than Panasonic Q was actually 1500 yen(Yeah that cheap) It was considered junk but the only problem was the fuse so I fixed it right up.

Both twin famicoms play famicom carts but they need new belts which I am purchasing right now.

Why three copies of Saturn NiGHTS? I know they were probably only 105yen (or less, maybe), but.... why get three? To give away to friends?

Is your PCE CD-ROM2 functional? If so, then that is awesome for 630yen. Too bad it's so yellowed Bleach it! Also get an Arcade Card and hunt down some Sapphire (original pressing!). If you can find it cheap at a Hard-Off, I'll lick your feet.

Also, to be frank, you seem to have a lot us... useless crap. DC karaoke... is that even functional now? I thought you needed to be online to use it. Likewise with the GCN keyboard... why? Focus, man, focus! If I may give some advice, pick up the Macross game for the SFC. It's a very nice shooter. Personally, since your time is limited and the amount you can bring back is also limited, I would just focus on PC Engine, Saturn and Neo Geo. Nothing wrong with your MSX2, though! Keep that if you can. 600yen or so for it is incredible.

How much was your CDZ? I got a boxed AES for 7350yen, and a nice boxed PCE Duo for the same. Found a loose Duo for 420yen, which was AWESOME (cheaper than your PCE CD setup, haha!).

You are in Hachioji? Haha, you live near Lukemorse1. Chuo line FTW!

Also while you're there, can you look up a specific Japanese game for the Saturn? It's called Radiant Somethingorother....

Ok!

Do you realize that game is generally 10000-20000円? You aren't going to find it at a Hard-Off. You'll have to go to Akiba, and the price will be that high. You might find it in a junk bin for 1万 if you are lucky.

Do get Dracula X 血の輪廻 on the PCE. I've seen it in the Super Potato junk bin for 4200円 before. Keep checking and you might also find it for cheap! Also, look around for Darius Alpha on the PCE. That would be sweet if you found a copy for cheap.

For shipping, buy some large cardboard boxes from a home store. JP accepts up to 30Kg in weight. Sea ship them. You'll pay around 1万円 per box, but can fit a lot more this way than in a couple suitcases. You'll thank me when you are travelling with light luggage. I shipped 12 (yes, 12) boxes like this from Japan. About half of that was games.

The Nights are for friends. I need a power supply for the PCE briefcase so I am uncertain. Hah! Like I will ever find Sapphire. I do buy a lot of junk but most of it is less than 500円. Useless crap is just fun. I dunno why. The CDZ was 6千円. Wow and good pricing on the boxed AES! I bought mine at Soft Map for 8千円 ):. So far I have only seen Dracula X at unreasonably high prices, but I'll keep checking. And yeah right on getting Darius Alpha. I am allowed two suitcases on the plane to america, and it only costs $75 if it goes overweight a certain amount. This gives me two chances to bring everything back. I feel like this method will be cheaper because 3/4th fit into my suitcase. Also as for that Radiant game, I really don't know much about good Saturn games. After this semester I just want to focus on Famicom and Neo Geo games.

Also I would love to meet Lukemorse1. I am living here with another collector too. He is going for a complete wonderswan collection.

I just bought a Game Boy lot from Ebay that contained that carrying case.
