Oh wow, that was a pretty successful Group Buy, too bad Turbo Everdrive hadn't come out yet though...
Agreed! I still need to get an Everdrive, but I think I missed out on the group buy for that.

Ah, no, you didn't, it never happened so keep the idea in mind then! I think I see at least 5 so far, me included (unless I win Bernie's raffle of course!), we just need a leader to be the one to make the order of 10, receive it, and ship each one out individually to participants. At 10+ the price will only be $60 which is pretty damn good!

I don't get how that would work out.   

It says on eir website that due to demand there are no offers, bundles, or discounts offered for any of their ever drives.

It's almost about to happen for the SD2-SNES cart.

Price   :           $190.00
10 or more:  $155.00 each

But looking at Turbo Everdrive:

Price:   $79.00
10 or more:   $60.00 each
Availability:   Out-of-Stock

Well, unfortunately it means he's sold out with no notice on when/if he'll produce more. Hmmmm... Anyway, that SNES thread shows how a Group Buy is organized assuming the item is in stock.

The eBay gouging is now set to begin as well for TE... Even months ago we caught a guy trying to sell a bare one for double the price (normally $79 directly from the creator AKA retrogate, this dude tried to go for $180 or so)...

Does the Everdrive include Tenokoe(spelled right?) like functions? It seems like the developer could include that function pretty easily then it could just be copy to the computer from the SD card. It may be as simple as sending him an email and asking for a firmware update. Wishful thinking.

No, but there is someone on his forums that has been playing with the idea.  It is in its early stages right now.  So, I believe we will see it eventually as part of the TE's OS.

I've got the Neoflash cart, and it gets the job done, but the Everdrive is much better. In this day and age is only get the Neoflash if someone was selling one cheap.
