Group buy for a Sega MD Flash cart and a SNES flash cart

[ckong]

I'm thinking of buying a Sega Everdrive MD flash cart and a SNES Everdrive flasg cart. These carts are pretty new on the market, have good reviews and are not too expensive compared to other available flash carts.

However, because I thought that the commercial web shop prices ($ 78 + shipping vor the MD cart and $ 87 + shipping for the SNES cart) are still a bit high, I contacted the maker of the carts and we agreed to a wholesale buy. If I purchase 10 or more carts, the prices are:

$ 66 for the Sega Everdrive MD (including shipping to your house!!)
$ 72 for the SNES Super Everdrive (including shipping to your house!!)
$ 90 for the SNES Super Everdrive + USB (including shipping to your house!!)
$ 66 for the Sega Master Everdrive (including shipping to your house!!)
$ 82 for the Sega Master Everdrive + USB (including shipping to your house!!)

I added a small markup of a few $$ per cart for my 'fees'.

You can find more info about the features of the carts, and pictures, here:

Now, why would you want to have a Megadrive or SNES flash cart?

1. Besides a fanatic arcade gamer, you also love to play Megadrive or SNES games.
2. You don't want to ruin your original minty game carts.
3. The original cart of your favourite game is broken.
4. You want to try out a game before you buy it.
5. You think that it is too much hassle to exchange carts often.

Do you want to participate? If so, I will ask you to Paypal me the amount in US$ through Paypal gift (or add 4% charges).

Dont get me wrong but i would never buy a nintendo homebrew item that isnt made by Bunnyboy. http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?cPath=24 but i have to agree the price of the product you have is really low!

[level42]

No offense but the one (SNES) bunnyboy offers is triple (!) the price....

I know the carts from Bunnyboy, but as Level42 says: much too expensive, not worth the extra features (my opinion).

non taken. i personal have a old boot loader for my snes so i can play diskettes and make backup of my own games if i would ever want to. I wasnt trying to say the product ckong is wanting to buy is bad in any way i was just giving my opinion.  Also i think you will not notch any difference between the 2 if you compare them to each other ore the original. and the price of the everdrive is realy low. I just wanted to gif my 2 cents and gif a shamles plugin for bunnyboy beaus he dos awesome things for the nes community.

Sorry Ckong for going of topic.

Sorry Ckong for going of topic.

You didn't, you just mentioned an alternative, which is always a good thing to do.

66$ for a cart is really cheap. Does it include the sms button ? i heard ,most of the time reseller doesn't provide it.
Anyway , count me in ckong

Sounds interesting. Could maybe use one of those SNES carts. When are you ordering/When is the last chance to get in on the deal?

Yes, I do believe so. But you can read about the SMS function here: http://krikzz.com/everdrive-md.html

I have no real deadline, but I'm thinking to order somewhere end January.

[kroustibat]

so we need to pay already ? or we wait you until you succeeded to get 10 orders ? As it seems i'm the only one going for the megadrive flashcard, do you need to have at least 10 orders of each kind (snes and md) ? or it's just the global amount ?

thanks :p

If I'm informed correctly, it is the global amount. You don't need to pay yet, just wait and see.

If you can hold payment until end of January - put me down for the SNES one. I get paid on the 26th.
