| I got my system from Video 2001 in California. I can give you the
address and phone number, but they are a pain because they want to ship
UPS, cash on delivery. They will probably be upset with an
international order. Nintendo also suggested F.A.O. Schwartz in New
York, but I do not have the address or phone number any more. Are the
figures you gave in U.S. dollars? Before you order, I suggest you
check with Nintendo -- there is no guarantee the system they are
selling there is the same one they are selling here; they might have
made slight changes to improve the product or comply with government
regulations, which might prevent games from there working with a system
from here. What about the television signal; isn't a different system
used there?

10.3 | Try the UK | ODIHAM::POORE | Stuart Poore, SRAC, Basingstoke, UK | Thu Oct 29 1987 08:40 | 8 |
| I think its PAL over here in the UK, and the system has been on
sale over here for a few months for �99 pounds. Who knows how many
dollars that is at the moment !
I'll hunt about, see if there's anybody in the computer mags I get
incase anybodies doing mail order.

10.6 | mail ordering used games | PNO::HEISER | Menudo: Breakfast of Champions | Fri Mar 02 1990 19:19 | 5 |
| Anyone deal with any of the mail order houses that sell used games?
Pros & Cons? Prices listed by FUNCO, Inc. (Fun Company) of Minnesota
in the magazines seem reasonable.

10.9 | Used Game store | RAYBOK::COOPER | One-ton Tomato ! | Mon Jan 21 1991 16:08 | 15 |
| I discovered a used Nintendo game store in Stockton, Cal. They
have a really incredible list of games both for Nintendo, Game Boy,
Sga, and TUrbo Graphics. The list shows trade in price, used game
price, and new game price (if game is still available). They will
do business by mail but charge an extra $4.50 plus $.50 per game.
Also the 6% sales tax must be paid.

10.10 | Something wrong in 10.8 | QUOIN::ZALESKI | | Wed Jan 30 1991 20:36 | 4 |
| In response to 10.8, The number of the street and zip are correct
but the area code of the phone is wrong. Be careful until you are
sure.

10.11 | | JARETH::EDP | Always mount a scratch monkey. | Thu Jan 31 1991 08:02 | 13 |
| Sure enough, the phone book says the area code for Niagara Falls is
716. I don't have the original card anymore, so I don't know if the
mistake is mine or theirs. I've deleted .8; here's a correction --
assuming the phone number should be in the same area as the address (no
way to tell until somebody calls).
I received a flyer from Replay Games: Trade "any 5 different used
games" into "any game priced $49.99 or less". "All games are new and
in original package". Call for the Trade Director, 716-694-4254.
Their address is 1900 Military Road, Niagara Falls, NY 14304.
