I almost bought a HoneyBee the other day.  I just didn't know what a good price for one would be.  It was boxed for $26, I think.  It was between $25-$30.  I probably should have pulled the trigger, but just didn't.
Just out of curiosity, what does a converter like that go for?

I looked into Famicom to NES converters before I decided to look into Gyromite carts. And I think they were like $40-50 bucks? I might have been looking in the wrong places though. For $2 for a Gyromite cart, I figured I could make my own for way less.

I was thinking the same thing. Only problem is that I've never actually seen a Gyromite cart in person, much less one with a converter inside. If you come across another, let me know.

Yeah, they seem to pop up quite frequently in OKC for some reason. I could probably pick one up for someone this weekend if they need it.

I just wanted one for the sake of having it. I don't plan on playing any imports.
