Title: [IC] Can I still sell / trade this JP adaptor?
Post by: Samuray on October 19, 2015, 11:59:11 PM: Hi everyone,

I got this adaptor to play Japanese Hueys on my Turbo Duo back then when I bought it, and as I don't really need it anymore I would really like to sell or trade it. But....can I? Maybe nobody wants it?

I think a short while ago a similar looking device was offered here, and I'm not sure it even sold. So I'm guessing there's no real market for these thingies anymore?

Oh, and yes, the text on mine is German since it was assembled by a German store that imported Engines and Duo back then.

Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Pretty much. I think everyone here either has a region modded or a Japanese system already, but I always see noobs elsewhere else looking for these and not finding them.

Post by: Samuray on October 20, 2015, 03:34:25 AM: Well, I like to avoid eBay whenever possible so I was hoping I could find someone in a community who would need it. But I figured pretty much everyone here has one or a Japanese system or whatever, so no surprise there. :)

Also keep in mind that I'm in Germany so my eBay audience is either rather limited or, if I decide to ship internationally, probably scared off by the shipping costs. I wouldn't mind int' shipping within a community like this one, of course, but it tends to be a hassle on eBay. Doesn't even have to be transatlantic....even eBay transactions within the EU can take strange turns, I"m telling ya.

I do, so thanks for your reply!
MotherGunner had signaled some interest before you so he kind of has dibs, I suppose...but he only wants to trade. If he doesn't have anything from my Want List, I'll get back to you, ok?
