I'm jealous of whoever won this bid.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-TurboChip-Game-Cards-for-Turbo-Grafx-16-SuperSystem-1988-1993-Lot-11-/261996702830?hash=item3d00386c6e&nma=true&si=dizLGwG90o4t8QIzmmDr1fkmxX8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557


Sometimes this happens with these thrift stores.  they throw things up on e-bay that get in storage lockers, or those free clean out services. You have to have no life or be lucky as pie to get these things though.  although I got a great deal on a DUO-R this way.  ( jelly is right, Damn I woulda drove up to lincroft for that obey too.)

   Well, I hope the person who won that bid isn't a reseller.

Great! Next time somebody tries to sell any of these games for inflated prices, you can show him this auction and tell him "this is the true value these are going for, go truck yourself Greedo!"

Edit: HELL yeah, post no. 666.

MOre than likely It'll be back on ebay in a few days. those poor games may not see a slot for a long time.

I'm going to start a slot your games PSA.

I've had this done before but maybe the seller will probably refund the buyers money saying wrong price and do a buy it now for 750.00.
It sucks for the buyer and I think it shouldn't happen but it does happen from time to time

And who hasn't sat down with a good game of Turrigan now and then as well!  I am about to sit down to a session of GG & Jim myself, one of my TerraGraphite-14 faves.

Chase HO sounds like a model train game.

Assuming they all work OK, but yeah, might work out well for whoever bought all that...

HuCards do break though... I can only speak for myself, but I only ever hard ONE that broke on me... My fresh new TurboExpress right-out-of-the-box destroyed my Bloody Wolf HuCard because the contact pins were so tight - it was tough to push it in the first time and that was the first game I wanted to try on it after it arrived... Turned it on, nothing, pulled the card out, pushed it in again, nothing... Then tried another HuCard and that worked, so I'm like "Uh-oh", then I take Bloody Wolf to my TurboGrafx-16 where it USED to work, but now all I got was a black screen, THE END... Heh. Pretty much how it happened...

This is intresting.  I've had two break on me.  a blue blink that got corrupt graphics, and a kieth courage that I got in a lot.  no amount of cleaning got it to read.
