I've been leark'n some NES Top loaders for days now, and as always some low feedback fool keeps bidding way to frick'n early raising the prices on gaming items.

I've been leark'n this Top Loader for a week( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8159700419&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT ).

Butttttt NOOOOOOO... here comes MR. 3 feedback on a rampage! :lol

What happened to the good old days of syncronised proxy sniping!

 

[akascream]

Don't worry, some guy from indonesia will win. Kinda hard to outbid somebody that has a stolen CC.

Ebay sniping is an illusion. Bid the maximum you're willing to pay for it. If someone outbids you you can't bitch because they paid more than you were willing to pay.

Neo Fami is a pretty solid bootleg Famicom that plays all original Famicom games

the family converter allows you to play US NES games on a japanese famicom

That console has issues, and NO Dog-bone controllers.

"THIS IS A USED NES TOP LOADING SYSTEM THESE ARE GETTING HARDER TO COME BY. COMES WITH ONE CONTROL AND ALL HOOK UPS. ALSO COMES WITH MARIO DUCK HUNT&WIZZARDS AND WARRIORS. THIS SYSTEM WORKS BUT YOU CAN SEE REAL FAINT LINES ON THE SCREEN WHEN YOU PLAY SOME GAMES. I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED. IT IS USED AND BEING SOLD AS IS. DONT MISS OUT ON THIS RARE CLASSIC! THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

SOLD AS-IS

right, that's why you get a NeoFami. It's brand new hardware.

Play-Asia also has it in black and white & red.

 

[RevenantKioku]

The dog-bone controller is expensive crap anyway.

 

[ButtonMasher]

Hold on, I'm check'n that NEOfam thing out now.

$50+13.50 s/h + $10 for converter

Same price as Top Loader :|

Though I see your point, it's new hardware, not someones leftovers.

 

[Link316]

NeoFami + converter + shipping = way too much for a bootleg

 

[The End]

supposedly, some of those "as seen on tv" stores at malls are carrying a rebranded version under the name "yobo" for $50 that includes an NES->Fami converter that sits flush to the system. I really want one of those.

here's a review

http://www.nesplayer.com/pirates/neofami.htm

and this place has it for $30

although it looks like it's run by mobsters, either russian or chinese.

 

[ButtonMasher]

toysnjoy.com is cool, i've bought some stuff from theim.

The lines on the screen is a typical problem with top-loaders. Not to mention you lose composite output with a top-loader. Why do you want a top-loader in particular? To avoid the blinking screen? Just install a new connector into one of the old-style NES, you can find the connectors dirt cheap (under $10). And you can buy new dog-bones from Nintendo, although they cost about $15 IIRC. Still, I'd rather have a brand new pad than one that's been through who knows how many grimy hands :lol

 

[Lambtron]

The Japanese top-loaders have composite output. I want to get one of those eventually... i

Not true. If you don't bid early, others won't know you're watching the auction. This results in fewer counterbids and lower end prices. Sniping works.

As PC Gaijin noted, American top loaders suck. They're expensive, display flawed graphics, and are restricted to RF output. Why are they wanted again? Because people don't know better. Go for a NeoFami or better yet an authentic A/V Famicom. I just got one of the latter and it seems great.
