The TG16/PCE good deal thread

Deletion · 08/12/2012, 03:14 PM

This deal is for folks in the Canton, Ohio area, which has a local chain called The Exchange that relocated a store in that town. A YouTuber made a video tour and he found a "ton of TurboGrafx-16 games" (sadly we don't get a good view of them) and a TurboExpress for $100.

Dracula X for $80 shipped. not a great deal, but cheaper than I've seen lately.

Not really a "good" deal, but I thought this auction was pretty cool. Unused CD-ROM for a US TG-16 bought from TZD.

This listing doesn't come with the instruction manual. Is it still considered to be a good deal without the manual? And if so, then can a repro manual or something be made so that one wouldn't have to read an online walkthrough just to be able to play the game?

Manual doesn't really help. It is pretty straightforward for non-war sim fans. If you go for it and need help, I can scan in the Enhlish manual and post the pics online. Not a great deal without the manual, map or sleeve, but the game is worth that price to play it. Of course, so is the ridiculously cheap PCE version. The cinemas are meaningless repeated talking heads and the in-game voice descriptions of units aren't clear and don't really give any insight about what they really do. English or Japanese, you're going to have to try out each unit to figure them out.

Yikes he paid $349 shipped for that Duo-r from doujindance but it is rgb modded which isn't listed in his ad. I bought a duo r from doujin dance in january 2011 and it was about $220 shipped

Managed to snag a hit the ice with manual and outer box for a somewhat decent deal based on all the crazy auctions lately.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/290780853629?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

It seems that the U.S. System Card 3.0 has been really expensive as of late, and this seemed a bit cheaper than what they've been up for. And with it including both the case, the Gate of Thunder 3-in-1 pack-in game, the 3 instruction manuals, and the system 2.0 card, if I needed system cards (which I don't, because I have a Duo), I think that I'd be tempted to bid. Actually, when I saw this last noght, no one had bid on it yet, so it had a Buy It Now price of $250.00 up. We'll see if the bidding goes higher than $250.00.

The BIN was still there this morning. I put in a bid for $150 to get rid of the BIN. The last SSC 3.0 + GoT sold in the forums for $185. I'm sure this will go for over $200, but I won't be the one buying it.

LostFlunky · 09/26/2012, 03:07 PM

I didn't realize how high these Super System 3 cards had gotten.... I only have an Arcade Card Pro, so I have to use my modded TG16 with TG-CD.
