I've had good luck with eStarland in the past, but haven't ordered from them in years. One time, I ordered a copy of Bravoman that they had listed as "loose" and it came complete, in box, wrapped. Not bad!

Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Got one to sell? PM me!

When you click on a game, it does say either game only or case instructions and game. Prices aren't the best though.

When you sell a product, it should be readily apparent what condition it's in.  "Complete" and "cartridge only", sorry to say, are mutually exclusive, and therefore should be used only where they apply.

It's gotten to where, if I see a game with a good price but the photo is stock/box art, I don't even click on it.  That's probably my mistake, but I don't feel like wading through the arbitrary seller text & pointless graphics, only to be met with the words "complete with cartridge only".

Exactly the same here. Stock photos seem to be great indicators that the item either won't be as complete as they want you to think at first glance, or that the condition is going to be nowhere near as good as they describe.

I agree as well. I like console5.com. Ive found their prices very reasonable. Not always a good TG16 section....but has cap kits for systems and many misc. I just bought a turbo express turbovision from them for 9.99.  On Ebay they were selling no cheaper than 50. Needless to say i didnt pass that up :-P

I'm guessing the main reason prices are higher on this system then others is that it never caught on in the US so supply is probably not real high.  I have noticed though that overall vintage games are going up.  I see the original zelda going for $30 on neS which I bought for maybe 10 about 10 years ago and conquer for the n64 I bought for 10 or 15 and I've seen it go for 50 or so.  I think a lot of us that had the games when we were younger are now getting back into the systems causing the prices to go up.  I have never had a TG16 and it is one of my last "affordable" consoles on my list to get.

I am not disagreeing with out. Any place that uses stock photos doesn't help buyers.
