Place to buy Recca on an NES cart at decent price?

[NESfiend | 1,517]

recca week is looming for weekly contests. Ive looked for carts on ebay, but they are listed at 50 bucks. Anyone know of a place that has them reasonably priced?

Aliexpress, where they originate. They're like $7.

@Gloves is the link below what you are talking about? Never used the site and was hoping to see a picture of an NES cart.

What is difference between 60 pin and 72 pins? 72 priced higher, but its still cheap. Shipping estimate is 7/5 and contest starts 6/14. Guess I just have to hope to get lucky or bite the bullet and overpay for one thats already in the US

Is there a reason you need it physical? TBH if you're going to be playing in the weekly contest and don't mind having repros anyway, I might suggest considering a Powerpak or Everdrive instead, that's the route I went. It'd probably get to you faster, too, and be generally more reliable.

I dont have a controller for an emulator. Im one of those weirdos that has always insisted on everything being original hardware. I thought everdrives were a couple hundred bucks? A lot to spend when the only repros I would need for the year are that, mappy, and zombie nation. There's only couple other carts on the schedule I don't have and I'd like to get them in my collection anyway.

If you're interested I can sell you my NES PowerPak. I won't need it with the NT Mini coming... whenever those ship. Call it $100 USD shipped.

Otherwise, Aliexpress or ebay (at a markup) will be your options. You'll want 72 pin since that's NTSC. Famicom is 60 pin.

Sold if you really don't mind. PM me with some paypal info and I will get you paid tonight.
