The first time I've seen this show up on ebay

[Lilgrafx]

I want it! it looks so freakin cool!

lol.  You dont want that.  Its basically just the innards from a USA TG-16, with a cool facelift.  Too expensive for that alone.  Plus, I think I seen somewhere that the boards had been cut in the rear??  Save your money for that region mod and cool games dude. 

Don't worry I could never afford that and even if I had $500 I'd blow it all on turbo goodness.   

[Samurai Ghost]

Damn, that's cool. Quite tempting for $500 but I have a feeling it will go for a lot more.

[Dyna138]

Damn that's a pretty sweet looking system. Even if I was interested the seller has only 1 feedback so I dunno. It will be interesting to see what it will sell for at the end of the auction though.

I noticed the guy is from Korea. I wonder if it's possible to find those systems over there? Even loose I'd love to have one as well as some of the Korean software releases for various consoles. It's pretty cheap to fly out there, maybe I'll take a trip out there in March...

[MotherGunner]

Hey Ghost, had my Korean friend go over there and searched high and low for one with no luck.  It may have been just that part of Korea.  People at work keep flying out there though so I may keep asking someone to check.

OK thanks for the info! I figured they would be pretty rare over there, but if I ever go I will be sure to scour some game shops for goodies.

Now this is pretty cool and probably can justify spending the money...

where's my W-2 already?

[Mathius]

It would be awesome if someone in the forum could snag it. I'd hate for some douche US eBayer to get it, "rate" it, and put in a stand under glass.

[Samurai Ghost]

Well, someone's bid on it. Wonder if it's a forum member? Sure they would have posted here by now though.

[SuperPlay]

Item went for $614.00

I am a little suspicious of a seller with only 1 feedback selling a high value item.

Yes, definitely risky.  One of these days I'm gonna take a trip over there and look for myself.

There must be an equivalent to a Yahoo Auctions Korea over there. I'd love to be able to bid on some of the Korean releases. There are a bunch of them on Yahoo Auction Japan right now, mostly Korean Megadrive and Master System games. I'll be bidding on them tonight but they tend to go for a lot, especially the original games which I am interested in the most.

My tax return rule is to waste my money on something, generally it is either video game or vacation related.  Too bad this auction came a month too soon, or else I would've nabbed it.  Hope to see some pictures or a review of the system on here soon!

[Shrapnoid]

That's just messed up. Sure it's a nice, rare item for the collection but, these prices are just outrageous.

Speaking of which, have you seen the most recent lunacy?

Over 4k for an unopened Turbo-CD unit.

Over 15 hundred for a new Duo.

130 for a sealed Sidearms.

60 or so for a new Keith Courage.

Just coo-coo!  

[MotherGunner]

60 for a Keith Courage is a deal compared to the recent eBay gouging Keith Courage.  (Look through the thread)  =)
