Hello people,
Boozi's talking. I'm in a desparate need of a Nomad AV cable... The reason I need one is because my RF cable won't fit my TV here. The reason why it won't fit is 'cause I recently came back to my home country for a visit. I really want to play the games I found in my house like Streets of Rage 3 and FIFA 95 with my friend and not on the small screen... I'll pay $15 for anyone who can send the cable to me in Global Priority ASAP! Please people! I gotta get it! Thanks for the help,
Boozi
P.S. Forgot to mention that I'm in need of a famicom system... It doesn't have to be the original, as long as it works. The ones in eBay looks good enough but they charge $40 for int'l shipping, which is a damn ripoff... Thanks again!

If it is the same cable for the genesis model 1, then I have one for you.

I ordered one on ebay for for my CDX. It's the same cable. After shippnig and everything it pretty much came out to about $10. Check there if you need one, as I'm sorry I couldn't part with mine.

I wish.... $17 for the shipping only.... I sent the guy a reply, saying that it was too expensive...

Check some of the European eBays...they tend to have quite a few Famiclones on there, and shipping from Europe should be cheaper than from the US.

Well... There are out there a lot of Famiclones from Taiwan and HongKong that are dirty cheap and NEW.
If you want to buy a NEW original FAMICOM you should be ready to pay at least 50 bucks prior shipping. And other original Famicoms have 20 years of use and abuse...
My suggestion is, go and look for a $10 or less Famiclon ina fleamarket nearby. You will get it NEW, ready to go and won't have to deal with shipping and so.
Unless of course you're a CRAZY collector so all the babble I just spoke is meaningless because you will still want a Famicom and period LOL

Nope, that's a miniature one ;) I think that's part of the 20 year anniversary of the Famicom. I would recommend focusing on eBay.de, since there are usually quite a few Famiclones on there for 1 - 10 euros + shipping. Good luck! ;)

You could e-mail the seller to see if s/he would ship to Israel. The seller sells lots of these, they are brand new, and usually around 1-5 euro. I'm not sure about the quality of these Famiclones, though. In a matter of fact, they could be NES clones, although I doubt it. Might want to ask the seller, though, just to be on the safe side.
