Turbografx TTI later releases question & a Magical Chase Sealed Score!

[BigT]

Yeah, it was probably a storage locker that he bought like on those tv shows (Storage Wars) and didn't want to be bothered to look up individual buyers--just wanted to move the inventory.

Well, he should have taken the Pawn Stars approach and called his buddy who specializes in vintage video games 

It's hard to find deals like this nowadays cuz it's so easy for people to look on ebay, etc. and to come up with an inflated asking price...

I can't stand Pawn Stars. That show is staged (ie: fake).

Great story Syphic, thanks for the update.

I asked the kid when I had messaged him about the missing New Adventure Island game as to where he got the games from or if he was a collector of some sort and all he told me was "I had them in storage and just needed to get rid of em". From the looks of it to me is that maybe this was someones TZD backstock or something? Because there were multiple copies of games, alot of later releases and quite a few turbo taps and duo taps and new controllers in box. In the lot I got a Duo tap in box and a Turbo tap new no box as well as 2 turbo pads and 2 Duo controllers new.

This story is more dramatic than I ever imagined it could be.

Thanks for sharing.

We all hate you, even if we are nice and congratulate you.

I hate you!

This will never happen again in the history of the universe.

Until the very day you stop looking.

Then it will happen.

Once more.

Possibly.

The Turbo Grafx 16 is my favorite console of all time and I am not going to sell these especially to some douche reseller. That is unless there was some kind of family emergency and needed money. As for opening them, that is something im going to need some time to think about. Definitely struggling with it now. As for what I paid, I havent told anyone but basically nothing. I traded it for a $325 Gift Card for Best Buy that I recieved as a gift like 2 years ago and I hate Best Buy so Its been in my wallet forever. Im going to do a short video of how this whole deal went down shortly.

I thought these were not going to be sold?

At a low low price too....

[cr8zykuban0]

to this day I am still jealous! what an amazing score and you didn't even have to pay any cash out of pocket for it!

[madboom0522]

That just makes the price a jacked up one no?

[madboom0522]

Yeah I saw Jackie on amazon. Contacted the seller and he said that he has them but the condition is not very good. I am not a reseller, but do not have a problem with it. Just did not understand the high starting point. If you are trying to get back what you paid for them, then cool. Would have thought that he might have offered them here before the bay though....

Probably wants to complete his set err something, so a 'baying he will go. Definitely shoulda offered them here first. GD everything. Really want that sealed Deep Blue so I can open it, take the manual and then take a shit on the box.

Thanks for posting that.

I found this on the first page:

I want to open them so badly. I separatd the TTI releases from the older releases and noticed that the TTi releases feel lighter that the other ones. Thats why i asked if maybe TTI was skimping on the packaging back then towards the end of days. Im sitting here looking at the stack of games and I feel like damn am I gonna wake up from some awesome dream. If so please dont let me wake up!!!!

I don't trust anyone (unless it's an old-timer here) when he/she claims they are simply going to play games and not sell them.

I am simply addicted to games (it's a problem, ask my wife).

But I'm not addicted to buying/selling (those folks are merchants, they have a different addiction, but it certainly isn't about games. They could be buying/selling POKEMON cards or PORCELAIN PIGS and it really wouldn't make a difference.)

When syphic talked about "being in a dream" = he was really saying "sealed TG-16 games = $$$$"...

...Instead of "a bunch of great games to enjoy playing"


RANDOM QUERY: Before syphic joined us, one of his friends was with us first. Who? I suppose it's in this thread. I'll have to look.
