Where's villahed94? He deserves some rep.
I just returned to the city, after being 1 week out.
Rep given.Quote:

My Japanese copy of Virtua Racing for the Saturn arrived today. I can't believe that it's in such good shape. The case is gleaming, the manual is spotless, and the disc hasn't a mark on it. The Japanese must take good care of their shit. I can't wait to see how the rest of the games I ordered look.
MrMatthews: Why do MM1 and 5 go for more than the others? I've seen that myself and don't get why. I never thought they were the best of the 6 on the NES. Are they rare?

Four of the games are legit.
You can see the five bootleg carts in the 2nd pic.

Complete.
The bogus games just came with box, no booklet.
Nice haul. You would probably pay more than $14 + shipment only for a complete copy of JP MKII on evilBay.Quote:

Not only that but sometimes it feels as if were living in a type of forbidden zone in terms of sellers wanting to do business with us (I'm presuming you might feel that way).Quote:

Some will ship after a begging message, some won't; several will not even answer your message.

That's exactly nailed-on.
From what I've seen it's down to a no-shipping contest between SA, Brazil and Italy. Don't know exactly what the poor Italians have done to be lumped with the rest of us outsiders, but that's the way it seems to be.
