What Pokemon game does the GB 4-in-1 have?

The 4-in-1 has on the label "Gold" as the colour, though they might have meant Yellow. Unfortunately, I don't have a working Game boy console to check it with at the moment. I guess it wouldn't make too much of a difference since I really don't know too much about Pokemon games to even tell if I did. When I tested these cartridges a while ago, I just remember them as being unique because all the games were unofficially translated into Chinese. Normally manufactures are lazy and just use the Japanese version of the game rather than translate it.

Hi,

All prices are listed beside the item. Unfortunately, since these are the last of stock they are being sold at regular price.

Thanks!

Hrm... I've never played Final Fantasy games before, but apparently X1, X2, and X3 are actually part of the same game. It's just broken up over 3 cartridges. Interesting...

I'll take the set of 4 Final Fantasy pirates for $139.  Please PM me your paypal address and let me know how much shipping would be.

If I could just be a bit nosey for a second, I'm wondering where most of your client base has been?  Has Famicomworld been your primary buyers?  I'm only asking because I'd be interested down the road in some of the games you're sold out of, and am wondering where my best bet would be to track them down (for example, the Chrono Trigger pirate).

I primarily sell on Famicom World so right here would be your best bet. However, many people seem to be buying for their collections so I'm not sure how many games will make it back out in the wild again. If your serious about obtaining some of these items down the line, shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can do. Provided you have a genuine intent to buy, I see no reason why I can't special order some and have them bundled in my regular shipments. But naturally, you would need to purchase a few games at a time to make it economical because I can't be special ordering just one game for each customer.

Is this the final shipment of these titles, or are you done for good?

Please put me down for the last copy (and set it aside) of 'Journey to the West II'. Send me payment details... If I need to order 3+, let me know.

These are just the last of the Famicom original titles I plan to stock in the near future. You should probably consider these end-of-line items as I don't have any plans on further stock since I am moving towards Megadrive/Genesis games.

In regards to buying 3+ games, it isn't necessary, but I recommend you purchase at least 2 items to take advantage of the free gift. Also, since restock won't happen again (at least for a very very long time) I suggest you get all the items you want now in order to avoid any future disappointment.

Any particular reason you're getting out of it? I ask b/c I'm thinking about getting into selling them...

Hey. No problem at all. The reason why my focus is shifting towards other endeavors is because that's where the market is. If you want to stay ahead you can't be a follower, you need to be a leader. It doesn't mean I won't stock Chinese Famicom Originals ever again, but to put the same level of coverage, stock, and quality would be very unlikely. To be honest, to put it lightly... "The boat has left". If your only now trying to get into the market, it won't be easy as it's already satisfied.

I thought so too, but I sold out the first shipment pretty quickly and I had other people asking about certain games. I'm not sure the market is satisfied just yet, but it's certainly not the same as a year ago when people were buying Final Fantasy VII for $100+ on Ebay.

At any rate, I don't hope or endeavor to sell or have for sale even half of what you have been doing. I'm also trying to get into another market, but having trouble finding a reliable contact for it (I'll just say it has to do w/ SNES games, and not Chinese stuff at all, and leave it at that).

Thanks for your honesty and candor.

No problem. I totally understand what your experiencing. The problem with Chinese Famicom titles is that once you stop selling for a particular while, a few straglers who want <xxx> exotic title will show up and give you the impression there's more to be had. However, that's usually only because you haven't been around selling for a bit. Once you go out of your way to do that, your back at square one. The big motivator right now is price, so unless you have an excellent supply chain and can get games in peoples hands at cheap prices, you won't move in any large quantities.

UPDATE: If your interested in a particular game, be prepared to forward shipping information and payment ASAP. Otherwise there is no guarantee your item will be in stock by the time your ready to finish the transaction. Since I have loads of people wanting the same games, there's no way to hold items indefinitely for people while they make up their minds.

Thanks for your appreciation everyone, however MasterDisk is correct. Your thanks would be much better appreciated in the feedback thread.

I know I am probably waaaay late here  :( but I am very interested in obtaining a two copies of Final Fantasy VII, a copy of Resident Evil, and a copy of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Do you currently have any of these left or might be able to get some? I know you accept paypal and would be able to get you payment within 24 hours of being notified by you that these are available. Thanks very much!  ;D

Is all that information in the first post up-to-date as of right now? I'm thinking of setting aside some money in a week or two (however long it takes) to get one of these. I don't really care which one, I just want a pirited famicom game just for the novelty (and maybe impress my friends with something that came from out of the country). But even though it doesn't really matter to me, can you post pictures and/or maybe a video of Burning Crusade in-game?

Hi Everyone,

@superman402: Sorry, I'm sold out at the moment. Keep watching the forums for the next wave of orders if they occur. Thanks!

@uglyworm12: The information should be up to date. If you want something, shoot me a PM and I'll confirm stock for you. Thanks!

In particular, I'm looking at World of Warcraft and Alien vs. Predator. Thanks for reassuring me.  :) I thought this might have been some old dusty topic that hasn't been touched in a while.

P.S. No pictures/video of Burning Crusade, then?

@uglyworm12: Sorry, there are no additional pictures at this time. If your interested in those two games, please feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll reserve them for you since they are low stock.
