Maybe raise the price to lessen demand slightly, and keep doing repros as a side gig? Like $35 each instead of $25, for example. Or keep the price the same and just take fewer orders? I'm not trying to tell you what to do obviously, but I know a ton of people appreciate your service

Have any GBA NFR games with back stickers for sale or trade?  See my want list below :)

I hope you don't drop out completely! Maybe only do a few every now and then for a raised price? I adore your repros and would love to continue to buy them.

I got my third package from jjrepro, and this one is better than ever! And I mean that because her new custom PCB board is AMAZING. Sad to hear you taking a break, but I'm glad you were able to fill just about every repro void in my SNES collection! You did a great service to NA.

I also wanted to add, I had a friend come over last night and we spent the whole night playing through Return to Dinosaur Land. It was like old times when I first got my SNES because that game is so cleverly designed that you really need to think and bounce ideas off each other to get through that game. I couldn't imagine the experience being half as fun if we were playing on an emulator on my computer rather than on the couch in my living room with real SNES controllers.

I cannot agree more!  The PCB board is some of the best work I have ever seen and the carts are top notch quality in every aspect.  I'm really kicking myself for not having jumped on this sooner as there is a more I would love to have!  

Thanks for this serivice and I know many of us hope that you come back!

Thanks jjrepro, my games look great. I've spent the last couple nights playing Super Mario World: Brutal Mario. That game is fantastic! I'm amazed with the different ideas put in that game. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves SMW.

Some of these games are truly amazing.  I love the design because it has a BRAND new edge connector, so they start up right away. No more rubbing alc and trying to get it to work.

I've had really nice donors and really horrible donors. (even found a spider nest in one) So its great not to worry about that particular games edges.

After I retire, I plan on making myself a full library. I think someone said I have 73 different games in my library, so i'm in for years of awesome.

Well, on behalf of us all - thanks for the service. You made a huge impact here, and it was greatly appreciated.

I doubt I'd ever have bought repros if it wasn't for your deal.

Same here. I'm also sad to see her go (if that's what she's truly doing). Would love another chance at one last order from her. Labels, shipping quality, PCB Board, just everything is amazing. The price truly can't be beat...sad to see this end.

Wish I bought even more than I originally did now. Thanks again, though JJ/Rachel!!

Do you think you'll retire completely or maybe do a few orders every so often?

About "selling the design" wouldnt it be better if you made 1 price point and simply sold it to whoever wanted it instead of just selling to whoever offers the highest? Like the carts you sell they have 1 price and everybody can "get in" so to speak.

Surely theres others right now and up coming who will be interested in doing repro's themselves and they will all have to start from scratch (which is a lot of work from the little bit i read so far) but if they buy you're "design" they are starting from where you left off. You laid down a blueprint so to speak,i have seen other repros before but they all look the same. The repro's you have though look different because you have you're own board. If 5 people bought the design you'd be getting money from 5 different people and also 5 people who want to do this as a hobby would now have a reasonable opportunity thanks to you(if they are productive they will contribute to the repro community as well). Since its a design there should be a way to send the same design to 5 different people if they paid for it. It's just an idea though.

My son... gives me Helpful Nintendo Hints that are far too complex for the adult mind to comprehend. Here's a verbatim example: "OK, there's Ganon and miniature Ganon and there's these things like jelly beans and the miniature Ganon is more powerfuller, because when you touch him the flying eagles come down and the octopus shoots red rocks and the swamp takes longer." And the hell of it is, I know he's right. - Dave Barry

Closed for donorless repro sales. If you have donors and want them turned repros, I can still accept those for the time being.
