    Gods, but I want one of these.
    If you have one and for some reason have grown tired of it's loveliness, give me a shout and we can trade!

    What you looking to trade. I've a couple of modded famicoms here so could let one go for the right trade.
    They are in real crazy nice condition so would need a good trade.

    GODAMMITTT!!!

    Ahem....

    So, Mr Si.... if I might call you that... what would you consider a fair trade, for such a lovely device???

    A night with Retr0?

    With Atavan?

    I know a drug cabinet with enough pharma' inside to make this happen!

    Haha, emm, I'll pass on that trade :)
    You may of course call me Mr Si but its really Mr S.I :o
    I'm not really sure what I'd trade for, I wasnt planning on trading one of them at all but just thought I'd put it out there in case you had a solid gold 3DO or something.

    Sorry, you can't have my solid gold 3DO, I'm keeping that in case I need to trade for a new pancreas or something.
    No, I need a Famicom and that's a pity... :(

    The search continues....


    edit: I know!
    I can paint!
    I'll paint you a picture of a solid gold 3DO!!! ;)

    Seriously, what have you in mind for it?

    I've no idea. It was an open trade offer so it was more a wait and see what was offered than ask for something in particular.

    Bad timing, I got shock troopers on my last Japan trip for about 30 quid.
    You'll get an av modded famicom (maybe a bit yellowed and not true "collectors condition" as I call stuff like this) for about 100 euro delivered from the UK. Try Warners Retro Corner" as he has loads of famicom stock.

    I'd no idea even yellowed ones were that dear, have they gone up in price in recent times? I thought you'd get a nice one for that money

    It's the postage that does it.

    Edit:
    Although the price of famicoms has gone up.
    Even the walk in price in Akihabara stores has gone up by about 10-20 euro.
    Super Spud is the only shop that hasn't raised them more than 5 or 6 euros worth in the last 6 months.

    Yeah, none of us are willing to part with anything he wants, and he won't know what he wants until someone mentions it.... it's like some sort of puzzle, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a Terrys chocolate orange... or something....

    The only other items I might have are boxed copies of Shenmue, it's sequel and the jap edition of Code Veronica, in the sleeve, all for the DC.
    I also have Samba De Amigo and a set of 3rd party maracas!

    I'm heading to Super Potato tomorrow looking for a few bits including some famicoms if the price is right.
    So I might have a regular non modded famicom to trade on my return. Just so you know.
