Whats a good price for a duo

[Jason_dicarlo85]

Thanks for the add!! New member.. I am Gonna be in the market very soon (got almost 200 saved) for a pc engine duo... What's the best model or type to get? And what Is a good price to pay for one that has been recalled? Region mod would be nice but not a deal breaker because I also intend to keep my tg16.. Thanks guys

I think the most cost effective option is to get a region modded PC Engine Duo.  PC Engine Duos generally go for less than Turbo Duos and if it is region modded you will have access to all the Hu Card and CD games (US & Japan).  You also want to get one with the caps replaced if possible.  I would think it would cost you between $250 - $300 shipped for one.

The Duo R is the best entry point IMO. They are rock solid and play almost everything out of the box. Tbone is right about the regular Duo being cheaper though, but either make sure it has had all the capacitors replaced or plan on getting that done ASAP as they are prone to system killing leakage.

But the black Duo is so sexy! R(X) is an ugly fat younger sister...

If you go down the JP only route (cheaper games), region mod is not super important. Just get them caps replaced.

If you go refurbished, go with Keith Courage he does fantastic work!

Jason, get with fellow member Keith Courage.  He usually has systems on hand, already refurbished.

Should the forum make a rule that new members whose first posts are about prices or other collectard stuff get insta-banned?

I don't think asking what a fair price on a DUO is is that bad.  Now that guy trying to sell repo turbo boxes geez...

Who would buy those?

I bought a couple from Sparky, and I don't feel a bit bad about it.  I'm sure I could've spent that $20 on saving whales or hugging trees, but whatevs.
