So 40 50? But for used ones CIB right? Just so you guys know they aren't just CIB. They're brand new never used before still wrapped in all the plastic. That would have to increase the price correct?

I didn't take the time to search for more than the uncommonly known proper name of the TurboStick. Looking at "Turbo Grafx Stick" on eBay, I see that recent used ones sold for $1 - $11 and a few New In Box ones sold for $40 each and used ones were part of lots including games and/or a TurboGrafx-16 system which sold for $40'ish total.

Maybe my post was unclear.  Mine was NIB.  I stated this in my post.  Original factory styrofoam with original bags and manual and still had that new factory smell.  I peeled off the protective stickers myself.  The smell reminded me of new stereo equipment from the 80's-90's.

It was $40.  $45 shipped.  I bought it as a BIN off eBay.

$198 is retarded.  Actually, even a retard knows better than to sell it for that price.  I'm talking truly retarded.  Not Rain Man shit, like dumb as a post stupid.

Yes mine are just like that. Styrofoam, plastic film, baggies everything. NIB!

BTW most of these games have just been traded for NES RARES that I needed. No one seemed interested here so someone on Nintendo Age scooped a bunch. Ill update the list of whats still available

Sorry bitch tits my phone auto corrected.  Btw what I do with my stuff is none of your business you little f*ck boy
Hey f*ck face: if you're looking for an anonymous free market to do whatever you want, don't come begging for help in the tiny corner of the internet where a bunch of friends and old timers have a three-hundred-and-fifty-seven-page thread lynching reseller after reseller. We've got chunks of guys like you in our stool.

I offered Bowser $40 for the stick via a PM. Wanted to see if he'd even be willing to sell them at what is being discussed as fair market value.  So far "crickets" .. no response.  Seems he will despite what he's told .. hold out hope to catch a much less knowledgeable buyer and get them to pay some ridiculous amount for his items.

I saw this guys post the day I had recovered my userid and rejoined the forums after many years away.  I just thought "aw shit" this guy is going to stir people up, piss people off .. and maybe I should just stay quiet until it blows over.  But glad a number of you were welcoming .. and just tons of content for me to read and catch up.  Honestly never dabbled in homebrew, and due to some of the repair instructions might try to replace caps on my PC Engine GT (if I can't find someone)

Yeah, he got a nice, warm "roast" of a welcome, one reserved for many a great resellers. He did ask us for "help" after all so many were happy to oblige. ;)

i hope you have at least responded to his PM by now.  at least be considerate of the offer.
its time better spent than pleading your case via PMs to other members.

Your 'listing high and lowering until someone buys' strategy hopes to take advantage of an equally Turbo-oblivious buyer and rip them off.

Exactly! Rather than be honest and cut people a fair deal from the outset, your hoping someone new to the scene who doesn't know any better just gets taken and fleeced for all he's worth.

If your new to the scene and want to start collecting, there is nothing more un-neighborly/un-friendly than getting ripped off just because your new. This is in stark contrast to most people on the forums who actually want to help new people out by cutting them nice deals or free raffles. Most of whom, are the ones who are upset with the OP.
