    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?

10.2whooops, did i overlooked something!UTRTSC::KNOLisn't every bit a bitWed Oct 28 1987 07:0612
    >re .1
    
    you made a very good point there, i 've completly overlooked
    the fact that in holland we use the PAL system .
    the prices i mentioned are US dollars, thats why i 'm looking
    for a way the get it cheaper.
    Is there perhaps a way to buy it in japan?
                                
    thanks in advance

10.6mail ordering used gamesPNO::HEISERMenudo: Breakfast of ChampionsFri Mar 02 1990 22:195
    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.

10.9Used Game storeRAYBOK::COOPEROne-ton Tomato !Mon Jan 21 1991 19:0815
         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.

10.10Something wrong in 10.8QUOIN::ZALESKIWed Jan 30 1991 23:364
    	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.
    
10.11JARETH::EDPAlways mount a scratch monkey.Thu Jan 31 1991 11:0213
    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.
