The TG16/PCE good deal thread

[bartre]

I just traded my Loose copy of CalyFighter Sculpters Cut for N64 That was in pretty good shape for 2 TurboExpresses (both in pretty good shape, need caps replaced, and has battery covers and wrist straps), Impossimole and Bomberman. Good deal?

wait, what?
that happens?
god, why is N64 stuff supposedly worth stuff now?

as far as I can tell, its just the rental exclusive stuff thats picking up in value. Clayfighter SC I found as a mistake for $5 (the value of the normal one) and traded it for all that stuff. its worth around $150ish give or take

[bartre]

loose?
no, just no nononononononono.
god dammit.
I haven't paid attention to a lot of N64 games (i got all the expensive ones a year or more ago)
but it seems like they're all going up by crazy amounts.
i mean, god damn, i'm seeing people paying $70 for Conker's!
it's not even rare, really.

but damn, that's a good deal for you!

Selling all my N64 stuff now, thats how it works for me, I'll treasure a collection and swear I'll never sell, but once I sell the keystone of the collection (Clayfighter SC in this case) the rest is good to go. http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=6&threadid=90575 I hunted down a lot of the rarer stuff as well. Now I'll keep some games for myself (like my Conkers and Harvest moon which I have had since launch day, and kept them CIB and in very good shape )

but anyway, back on topic glad to see someone agrees it wasn't a bad trade, was a lil nervous about doing it, but decided I'd get more fun out of a TurboExpress than Clayfighter (which isn't that great of a game)

Excellent deal Johnny.  I would take one of those TE's off your hands if you wish.  =)

I just picked up a loosie PCE Batman from China for ~$13 shipped!

Nice!! I think Batman is my next game to find. On my two Expresses, I'm gonna repair them both, keep one stock and do the LCD + AV out mod on the other. I'll be sending it to thesteve for that. Now not sure if I want to do a 3.5" LCD in it or find a good 2.5" screen to keep it looking original... hmm.....

[MotherGunner]

There is just something so sexy about a stock TE.  I think I will get another one and have it upgraded with a 2.5 LCD.

better than the 35ish its been going for.

Won and paid for it yesterday, and its in my hand today! It's awesome shipping speeds when you win eBay auctions in the same state as yours

[MotherGunner]

Seriously?  Since when did Neutopia go Chew Man Fu on us?

[vestcoat]

It didn't. This is a Dark Kobold "good deal". Neutopia is still $25 CIC and much less loose.

Good luck finding it for that price. You can pull prices out of your ass all day long, but if no one is ACTUALLY selling for that, what good is it?

Really cheap Bomberman 93 in players condition.

This auction went up as a bid auction originally.  It was at $2.00 when I saw it first within minutes of going up.  Then in a couple more minutes it jumped up to over $100 and was for some reason pulled.  Next thing I see in the completed auctions was this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TURBO-GRAFX-TURBO-DUO-52-GAME-LOT-/221165229078?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item337e799416&nma=true&si=0YTAvYp0P4UNKVY6XXyBo7lgDXY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

My guess is someone messaged him right after it went up and offered the $350 via buy it now and the seller did it.

Anyone here happen to get this good deal/steal?
