"RARE Nec TurboGrafx 16"  Hmm, not sure that I see one in the auction picture ....

Maybe that's a shot of the guy that stole it from him as he was posting the auction using his eBay app.

Another fun one.

•This auction is for Keith Courage in Alpha Zones.  This game is a rare classic that ever single person in the US must own and it's so RARE that everyone can!  I can't stress again how rare this game is, just walk into some Wal-Mart store and try to find it...YOU WONT.  Wal-Mart has everything including hillbilly hookers.....Just ask my neighbor, I think he lives there but you sure as hell wont find the almighty Keith there.  Just look at all the other auctions on eBay, they all tell you how rare it is, ITS RARE because we say so and you have to trust that because you read it on the internet.

This game is so darn rare that the original owner didn't open it.  Either he knew how rare it would be someday or frankly he was aware of just what kind of craptastic display of how this game utilized all of 12 colors out of the available 512 the Turbo Grafx had.  You're no collector unless you have a new unwrapped stack of games you can't play sitting around.  Keith Courage was known for ultra fast game play, accurate and precise controls and drop dead gorgeous color spectrum that only a pallet of 12 colors can provide.  Trust me on this, after all you're only going to buy it and let it sit on a shelf, you won't know the difference!

 

I am only listing this once so you better jump all over it because once the auction is over; I am just going to list it again with another final listing threat!  You wont see this game on eBay, it only sells once are twice a year.  All those other auctions are just inferior.  Get the real collectable here and just think of it like this, after this sits on a shelf collecting dust for the next 10 years and isn't worth the plastic it's made out of, you can turn around and sell it as an investment and put the kid you think is yours through junior college.  Collecting games make you as cool as you want to be on the interwebz, get all over this game because it's definitely a rare collectors item.

 

I might VGA grade this game and if I do....watch out its going to be worth millions and don't you worry.....one of you space cadets sitting in your basement will buy it and I will take the money and buy up more inflated prices TG16 games and resell them even higher for a good ol fashion gamer raping!

Wow... I can't really blame the auction for this, but... wow.  I have to chuckle every time I scroll through the search results for "turbo duo".

That is simply divine. FIND MORE BAD ART, please.

Powers up? How the hell does he know that, if he can't plug it in?

Plus, I love that game "Hu Card"

[RoyVegas]

If he could power it up, would he say its not working?  Doesnt work too well with the game upside down.

[psychobear]

I think he put the Game upside down on purpose to try and trow of bidders and make it seem he don't know what he's doing.. I bet it don't work

[FiftyQuid]

0 feedback.  I'm sure it'll sell though.

Where are people keeping their old TG setups?  Good God this one looks like it was placed behind a toilet while people pissed around it.

This is a "Brand New Factory Sealed" copy of Air Zonk that is only opened at the top. Classic.

It is totally sealed, even though it is open! But new and sealed! But open! But still sealed!

I came here to post this one.

[NecroPhile]

Ha!  That's a fuckin' winner right there!

been opened at top end, but still however is sealed

[DildoKKKobold]

Forget the ridiculous price, for a moment please. I can't put my finger on it, but this just pisses me off.

This item is "sealed" but not really. It is part of this box:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEC-TurboGrafx-16-Black-Console-NTSC-FACTORY-NEW-TG16-w-BONK-KEITH-COURAGE-/121031321101?pt=Video_Games&hash=item1c2e07660d

VGA kind of fucked up in grading that item, since it was clearly a pack-in with the console, never available with that sticker on its own. They graded "part" of a complete set. So much for being an "authority." Maybe I'm just being nit-picky. But if I were to pay a ridiculous premium on a sealed item, I'd not want something that is noticeably incomplete.

It's 85% sealed.

[FiftyQuid]

So... if I put it into a Ziploc bag and only zip it halfway across would that count as sealed or only partially sealed?

BS publishers like this started springing up 2-3 years ago. I first noticed them "curating" books of free content for D&D settings, but they seem to make worthless crap for any subject imaginable.

[ddd1234]

Also, the seller took a picture of his chocolate cake and printed it on the cover?
He clearly does not give a shit about his product.

[turboswimbz]

yeah the book was discussed a couple of pages ago in the thread.  Pretty shitty effort.

[tggodfrey]

First I have seen this or anything like it, I am a little behind and dont get out from under my rock often...lol

lol no it desrves to be shit on often, did you see there is also a NEC console book as well by the same publisher and seller?

[tggodfrey]

hahaha no i missed that one.

[jperryss]

Brief, mis-spelled auction title with basically no information? Check.
Picture likely taken with an 8-year old flip phone? Check.
Awful feedback rating? Check.

Turbo grafix games

This would've been an A+ if he hadn't forgot to put RARE somewhere in the listing.

He says in the description that its a pic of his car and its been there since he put the auction up. Leads me to believe he did it intentionally. Why?  Who knows!

Well, maybe its to let bidders know exactly where the money from the sale is going towards: To help pay his BMW, fugly rims and gas for the road trips to the Rockies.

canada/swiss = never-ending amusement

[RoyVegas]

There are tons of things in this guys auctions that I'm sure people would love to point out.  What I'm curious about though is the game case.  So in this guys wonderful grading system he made up, shouldn't the fact that this game not being in an original case have anyting to with it's grading? If I'm not mistaken, the only US Turbo game that came with the case, and have a clipless case, was Keith Courage.

"NON RETAIL VERSION (Working Designs Version)"

As opposed to the millions not sold by Working designs. 

That just goes to show what grading bullshit is worth.

I wasn't sure why I hadn't visited this website until this very post, but I did.  What a blast from the past!  It reminds me of websites from 1992 when the internet was in its infancy.  I love this headline;

"Be A True Video Game Curator - Preserve Your Video Game!"

At least they use Curator.  That's not a bad word actually.  I think I like it.
