Went to a shitty swapmeet tehres a guy there that knows what stuff costs, and usually asks for ebay price including shipping for everything. He had a 5 dolalr box with about 30 gyromites and other stuff. I got maniac mansion for 5. Then i picked up the uglyest gyromite he had, it was heavyer than usual and the bottom had stuff all the way across so i figured why not.

so for 10 i got a famicom converter gyro and maniac mansion. Not bad i'd say

Nope, not too bad at all. You should be able to sell the converter (if you don't have one already) and make a modest profit.

nice, you ought to go back and look at all those gyromites for more converters. there are bound to be 1 or 2 more in a box of 30.

I need those converters for repro projects. Please sell them to me for $15 a piece. Make a nice clean profit and help NA out with a special repro release...

-------------------------

If anyone is LOOKING for certain repro/homebrews, I have a running repro company thread going as well as a lot of extras myself which include Limited Editions as well.  I'm also free to help answer questions and point people in the right direction so never hesitate to ask!  Here is the current list of repro companies.  Please let me know if I need to update it:

Hey, at least you don't have to spend more money either looking for another or buying one off eBay. A lot of my favorite 8-bit Nintendo games are for the Famicom. In fact, the one referenced in my avatar, Holy Diver, is one of them.
