There is an item on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Turbo-Grafx-CD-Duo-System-VE-NEAR-MINT-WORKS-GREAT_W0QQitemZ8290225947QQihZ020QQcategoryZ62054QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

But it's $110 and it seems to be WITHOUT the cd system 2.0 card, which you need. In addition that is too expensive for what you are getting. The seller usually has high prices. But I get buy a new, sealed, Bonk's Adventure game from him for $51.90. I am awaiting its arrival. In addition, this seller only accepts money order, or cashier's cheques.

I am posting again. Price-wise it is a good deal. For that price at other used game retails, it would cost $60, unboxed, with the adapters and controller. So you did save.

ATTENTION!!!!!!!! Check out the threads on "Bullseye Video Games" and "2manycollectibles" !!!!!!!!! A bunch of folks here have had bad experiences with him. Wait before you bid on anything else from this seller. First see what condition Bonk's Adventure is in. I fear that he may have simply re-shrinkwrapped the item. I'm not trying to be sensational, and I hate to worry you, but I would err on the side of caution with him.

Well, the shrinkwrapped Bonk's Adventure game has the sticker on it that say that there is a coupon book inside. So I assumed it wasn't reshrinkwrapped, but I'll see. I am very picky. I would ask for a refund if otherwise, or else I'll give him negative feedback. But what I was trying to say in the other post is to NOT get the Turbo CD attachment that costs $110. I mean for that price it should be in better condition and with at least the TurboGrafx CD system 2.0 card and A/v cables. He even sells the carry case for it seperately. As if he took the package apart.

Another thing. He is selling a $299.99 complete Turbo DUo without the box and manual. For $400, which is unlisted, is a boxed with manual Turbo Duo system plus shipping. The thing is that I found a new shrinkwrapped Turbo Duo system with the six games, magazine, manual, and etc. for $500 with shipping. The games would have costed me more than $100 for used ones if I was to get the $400 Turbo Duo. He does seem to overprice his products. You should be weary, but I wanted to give it a try with a sealed Bonk's Adventure. The only thing that sucks is that the new Turbo Duo system comes with Bonk's Adventure and Revenge. I guess I'l have a sealed, if true, Bonk's Adventure Hucard game. Any way keep on looking. I actually found a brand new Turbografx 16 system:

If you want it for your collection. I don't want it because I am getting a Turbo DUo.

Shrinkwrapped Turbo Duo? That sounds insane! I really, really can't believe they actually shrinkwrapped those boxes. I've never seen anything like that.

Conclusion: Must've been "re"-shinkwrapped, or rather--the seller shrinkwrapped it for the first--and only--time.

takashirose · « **Reply #20 on:** July 13, 2006, 02:49:57 PM »

Actually they WERE shrinkwrapped. I ordered it today, but it is shrinkwrapped because the shrinkwrapped box had a band around it or a sticker that describes the six free games inside.

Ugh, I want to buy that new TG16 auction, but I must control myself.

takashirose · « **Reply #22 on:** July 13, 2006, 03:39:22 PM »

I wanted too, but I told myself if I buy it now then I couldn't get a Turbo Duo or a Turbo Express. If you have the money get it for your collection. Leave it unused and get a shitty one so that you'll have a new one when no one does. haha

If you can't find the TurboGrafx CD attachment you could go to this link:

Game Choice Club

It has a very good selection on all things. the link goes directly to the PC-Engine Systems section. There is a boxed PC-Engine Duo for $249 or if you are not a completist, a $179 unboxed without a manual complete Duo. Enjoy. Since you already have a Turbo Grafx you just get the PC-Engine Duo so you could play all the games. I on the other hand went a different route. I bought a new sealed AMerican Turbo Duo for $500 with the 6+1 hidden Bomberman game deal and will get the PC-Engine Converter for it later on. I went the more expensive way, but I wanted the Turbo Duo. Anyway it's your choice. But beware of Ebay sellers. Wait till there is a Turbo CD attachment with all the components: the attachment, the Turbo CD system card, and the A/v cable. The box is an added value and bonus, but rare. Who knows, if you e-mail TZD, and ask them if they have a Turbo CD attachment. They might have it, but is unlisted because it is in very low stock. It might thus be expensive. Happy looking friend.
