Famicom have a new opportunity with famiclone games and console

A long time ago when the games was 8 bits there was a console which named Famicom - Japan answer of Nintendo NES
Nowadays there is plenty of modded consoles with Famicom engine known as FAMICLONES
If you had to used NES system and find that prices of the official games goes to hit the roof think about yellow cartridges of famiclones. In my eBay profile you can find plenty of expensive games such a Samurai Zombie Nation, Panic Restaurant japan release, Power Blade 2 and The Flintstones - The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak!
Interesting fact is JY carts they are known in Famicom forums as
Other interesting games for Famicom and Famiclone are these games which are re-mastered from 16 bit SNES or SEGA Genesis MD2 to 8 bit console
The games that I have for sale are Boogerman, EarthWorm Jim, Donkey Kong Country 4

Other games are known with funny name "Chinese originals" which are Unlicensed games based on a known platform

Super Panda Prince - DKC hack

Penny auction - the big deception

Did you ever try to to win a penny auction. If no PLEASE do not try
Even the companies provided such a service admit that the chance of win such a auction is compared with the win from a lottery, gambling or betting.
What is mean to win a DSLR camera or iPad or iMac for 100$ with retail price 1000$
Fee - For example if the step 0.01$ and the fee amount is 1USD that's mean that company earn 10,000$(10,000x0.01=100) from this bids
Time average time for this want-to-have items exceed couple hours.
That's mean that you have to spend a lot of time and at the end to run out of money or credits and to be with empty hands.
Bidders you are working in a blind don't know how many competitors with what financial resource are against you
When to start and when to stop - no body can say!Early morning or late evening or lunch,breakfast,dinner time may be you can make bargain but if you start you have to go until the end - what think the other bidders for this - YES they know this just like you.
Addiction - if you are addicted to bid use eBay auctions or other similar sites where your bid do not cost money if you didn't win the auction
Money spend this money for something real. When you betting or gambling you make an informed prediction and know exactly when the event will be closed
Who win - the big winners are the companies offers such a service. even the winners of auction spend many more money compared with a won price vs. retail price
If still want to try do it by your own risk.
Very soon will realize what mistake you do!

eBay for foreign sellers

I'm eBay seller since 2008 in this article will try to analize challenges that I haved to solve during this adventure

Pros: 

If you have stuff for selling this is excelent place to be visible all over the world

When you have registration in eBay you easy can sell in all other eBay sites (for example your American stuff is better to be sold in Europe and your European stuff is better to be sold in USA

You can make profesisonal looking listings with a lot of onformation)

For that reson sell international (again even if you have your local eBay it is great opportunity to atract international bidders) 

You can buy a lot of durty cheap things especially from China and Hong Kong for your own consumig you rarelly will have a Customs issue(depends of value and quantitiy)

Cons:

If you are not US citizen or do not have a local eBay site there is no big benefits to starve to became Power seller or Top rated seller

There was a very stupid shipping policy - when you try to estimate your shipping costs in some cases may be they are excceed alowed 

Seller protection - this is hilarious buyers rule you pay only taxes sellers can't leave a negative or neutral feedback only positive

Detailed seller ratings criteria:

Item as described and Communication - that is perfect

Shiping time - are you crazy??? You are not postal operator to can manage any logistic issue like international transport or domestic prossecing and delivery

Shipping and handling charges - I'm allways trying to provide actual shipping costs and do not include gasoline to the postal office or packaging materials (unfortunately a lot of sellers include all taxes and shipping materials and extra cost in the shipping costs), but as a buyer I have to check amount of stamps in local curency and compare the rate with US dolar - Who do this always

Taxes - be carefull especially new sellers (nowadays there is 100 free listings auction format) but you have to be ready to pay in the end of month

By he way you have 3 taxes selling on eBay 

For the listings

for the final vaue

for the PayPal payment ( thats why a lot of Germans do not use PayPal)

Any comments are welcome!
