I love this thread. You guys are eBay Craig's list super sleuths lol

[NecroPhile]

Ha!  That's fucking pathetic, 50, but only $45.45 to ship. 

[bob]

Well, in fairness, $500 is a steal for pac land in any condition

Oh and great plcards sighting.  $800 for terraforming in "good" condition.
Also, you need SS Card 3.0 or you cant play it.

I sold a loose brand new TurboGrafx CD unit on Craigs sometime in the past two years (no more than 25$). Wonder if it was anyone on here. Hollywood Florida? Anyone? I think I had Exile complete for him too, I know I also sold him  TG system that most likely didnt work since it was kept in a dew infested shed for a decade.

Maybe it was two transactions. All I know is I gave them dirt cheap.

OK... That proves you are the douche the other thread says... You sold someone a TG16 that sat in a dew infested shed that you question if it works? 

I'm requesting that you surrender your OBEY card!

Later Turbo CD games came without boxes.

For a Bonk3 Manual only.. this is absolutely ridiculous..... MANUAL....

It wasn't packaged in a box.

Is this the same one which has been posted many times here or is someone using that old rotting unsold listing as a sign that the manual is priceless?

[johnnykonami]

I owned Cotton years ago, traded it away for something else (I don't remember what) and it saddens me to see its worth now.  I don't really regret my decision as I wasn't a big fan of the game (hence why I traded it), but even if I still owned it today I probably wouldn't sell it now.  Maybe I would trade it for some other hard to get Turbo/PCE games.

I have no idea if someone posted it before.. I was just looking around and saw it.. Actually, now that I think about it.. It might have been myself that posted this manual ridiculousness before..... i just get so upset when I see it...

Different toolbag.  This one's a $150 CD version, the one that's been up since the beginning of time is a huey version for $300, and there's a third up for $175 (huey).  Rarez!!!!

[bob]

I keep sending PM's to ebay sellers that simply say..."you're silly"

[bob]

not so much a "gouge" based on the # of bids.  but more stupidity?

Is there really $1100 here???

[NecroPhile]

Crazy.  An average of $26.50 each is quite high considering there's nothing all that rare or pricey in the lot.  You could probably do just as good (or far better if you're patient) buying 'em individually.

[bob]

right, I would say these 5...

Ys III
Neutopia II
Lords of Thunder
Dragon Slayer
Parasol Stars

Would give the biggest challenge to find each for under $30, and a couple of them probably could be done with patience.  The others certainly don't justify $900+

[munchiaz]

thats way off price. Like you said there are about 5 games there are a bit up there in price. Thats about it though

If anyone wants to PayPal me $1100 USD for these 42 games I'd gladly give them up.

If you only shop eBay, 26.50 isn't that rediculous for a turbo game. I can't find turbo games around here outside of a retail setting, where you would pay the same if not more than eBay.

The only place I can get games is through this forum or eBay. In regards to the list above, I haven't seen Neutopia 2, Ys  3 or LOT sell CIB anywhere(even here) close to $30!

[NecroPhile]

If you only shop eBay, 26.50 isn't that ridiculous for a turbo game.

It is when it's something like Vigilante, Alien Crush, Side Arms, Blazing Lazers, Keith Courage, etc.  It's even worse when it's part of a big lot.

I spotted a Turbob in the wild while shopping for x-mas gifts.  'Twas a loose TV Sports Football for a $2.95, which I kinda regret not buying (raffle bait).

[bob]

there is a Sonic Spike and Andre Panza (both CIC, no box) and decent shape for $15 each at a local gouge shop.  I was surprised they weren't asking $50 each.
I talked to one of the dopes working there once and asked how often they get TG stuff.
One kid had to ask the other because he never heard of it.  Mind you, this is a shop where 90% of sales come from old video games and MtG cards.  Drives me crazy when idiots work at these places and can't even talk intelligently about the products they are raping people for.
Anyway, the other kid basically said..."HA HA, that stuff is super rare and impossible to find, never comes in here."
About a year ago, they had a Duo packaged with Takin it to the Hoop, WC Baseball, and Sidearms (all loose).  The huey door was missing, console all scratched up, and the little clear window on the CD cover was missing too.  $300 and the kid working said "it might have issues".

[seieienbu]

$2200 for a Turbo Express, you say?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEC-Turbo-Express-Handheld-Video-Game-System-/111235102663?pt=Video_Games&hash=item19e620f7c7

"
There might be a few generic adapters out there that say they are compatible with the Turbo Express, but you would be crazy to use anything other than the part made for the unit!

Again, everything is in perfect shape and you never have to purchase batteries for this unit!"

Why, with all the money I'll save on batteries this deal probably MAKES money!

Why does Exile 1 remain so cheap? Is it that common?

I got mine factory sealed with the big CD sticker on it way back in 2006.

They made more copies than there are Turbo CD-ROMs. There may actually be more copies of Exile or CF2 than Keith Courage floating around.

[VestCunt]

Why does Exile 1 remain so cheap? Is it that common?

New copies of Exile and CF2 remained in stock at Working Designs right up to the end ('05-06). Game Quest Direct bought most (all?) of the remaining WD stock and still sell them new for $49.99. Telegames USA also had a boatload. Their copies were picked up by a lot of European dealers. $5-12 was the going rate for sealed copies on ebay for several years, maybe '07-10.

[Psycho Punch]

There are many other games that you can find on ebay, sealed and with a reasonable price, just like Exile. Just saw Yo', Bro, Dragon Spirit, Shadow of the Beast, Prince of Persia, etc. for $29~49... not that I would pay any extra for a disposable plastic that I would rip off and throw away but they're a far cry from the gouged prices on other turbo games.

[bob]

I guess I'm not sure why, but I'm always surprised that Sherlock Holmes 2 can be found sealed for $30.
I can't imagine it sold very well and would be harder to come by. So odd which games command the higher prices sometimes.

[technozombie]

After reading about CF2 being so cheap new, I thought I might find a used one for very cheap. Strange enough there isn't a used one on Amazon, and Ebay only had one used one for more than the new ones, plus it was from Canada.

[NecroPhile]

Nothing strange about that.  Who'd ever get rid of Laura? 

[GohanX]

Well, I'd get bored with her and kick her out of bed after a few weeks and go back to my regular woman, Scarlett Johansson.

Sounds like an invitation to get beaten and robbed. Most Craigslist transactions these days are sketchy to the point where I'm only doing public location pickups.

That CL add must be making the rounds I also saw it on a Facebook Retro Game page I'm on.

From the ad:

No games, no posse's. Im availabel after 9pm. Holla if you want it. Peace! -Jazz.

How I envision it:

[Psycho Punch]

LOL Fresh Prince! That's the first thing I thought too.

[technozombie]

I was watching this on ebay, and I'm curious what the forums opinion is on it.
