Wha?  These really go for that much?  I'm glad I got mine back in the day - for $25 I think.  I bet someone on these forums (the geniuses behind the AbCard?) could build the same thing for a fraction of that.

Not trying to bust your balls, no pun intended.  Your asking price seems high to me, but what do I know? :P

There is a normal one here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pc-Engine-RARE-Games-converter-turbo-grafx-16-adapter-/360432308365?pt=UK_VideoGames_VideoGameAccessories_VideoGameAccessories_JN&hash=item53eb70908d for less, but I don't know the significance of the extra wire.

You can get a diving board from 16-bit (hardly a bargain seller) for $150 shipped.  I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you want eBay prices, go to eBay.

yeah, I been trying to get a PCengine converter for a few months now. They are all ridiculously priced.

Good thing I found out I can just get the DUO-R for the same price and call it a day. Oh, and it plays CD!

I guess these converters are so overpriced because of the collectors value? idk...I mean whats the point if you can buy a PCE, Coregrafx, DUO etc etc. for much cheaper than the converter.

If we could find the card sockets, probably.
No, I'm not chopping up pci connectors to do it.

But what's the point? A chopsado is cheaper and easy to use.

Talk to chop, he'll either trade for it or give one to you. Trust me, it works great!

The Green Diving Board only works with a Turbob Express or Turbob 16. It will work on a Turbob Duo if the extra wire is soldered on.

I had one of these converters... gave it to Windy for free if I remember right....  i have seen them sell at the highest $175 but that seems ludacris to me.  Collectibility wise... i suppose they might be worth it.
