So 3 boxed TG-16's and two loose (with dust covers!!!)? About 20+ games, most complete...load of controllers. I see you definitely selling off a majority of the lot and keeping a few choice items for yourself, end up with a net zero plus you'd have some new obey. Of course if the original seller did not want to deal with ebay, that might say something. I hope to see for FS: threads soon from you!

Goes to show, there is still some out in the wild finds to be had.


Eh i'm just hoping to trade the extras, the way I see it is i'll eventually be spending $700 on PCE/TG stuff over time. So i'm thinking the extras could be used to obtain other stuff thats priced crazily. So even though I wouldn't price a CIB TG16 at $300, I would if I was trading with someone who was also pricing their stuff with fleabay.

And yeah! My goal with posting this was to show that stuff is still out there. Like even though he used to work for SNK blah blah.. this guy's stuff was the accumulation of his co workers TurboGrafx stuff, in which he put it in his attic for 17 years.


Wow, that's a heck of a bundle.  Lets hope your luggage doesn't mysteriously disappear due to the baggage handlers, safe travels!!


Didn't wanna risk the game boxes being crushed/opened in checked luggage. So I took them carry on haha



Everything got home safe and sound! I'm hoping to have time this Tuesday to go through it all.

Oh god, I didn't even wanna think about that. But that is a very likely thing to happen, especially on some free local buy/sell page.

He told me his name and all this company info. So I was able to look him up and verify that he was legit, but still. Stuff still happens that neither of us can control..

Lol, that's interesting. 

I don't know Arabic and was trying to do a twist on 'Allahu Akbar' (God is great(est)!) with the words bomb, man, and great(est).  Maybe I mixed it up so it says Greatest Man (Fat Man?) Bomb.

This is why I should never go abroad I guess.

I think it's safe to say we're both on federal watch lists now

That is an excellent find. Congrats, man!

The Turbo-Grafx box alone takes me back to the good ole' days. I remember walking through Kay Bee toys and seeing all three 16-bit consoles in the glass case. The TG section wasn't nearly as prominent as Sega's and Nintendo's was, but it had a little nook carved out at the tail-end of the case. As usual, boxed consoles were placed at the bottom; there were four TG-16's compared to the dozen or so SNESs and Gennys.

Oh, if I could do the late 80's/early 90's all over again...
My past-life would've surely led to our demise, and I had left it not a moment too soon. Our escape, though dangerous, had gone well. The train ride, sunlight, and passing snow-covered pine trees came together in a flickering show of our bright, new future together. Her head rested on my shoulder as she soundly slept to the gentle rocking of the passenger car. We felt freedom. We felt peace.

King of Casino.

'nuff said.

Just kidding, I haven't played the game much (yet? Perhaps the future will bring us together?)

Local turbro is happy with his $150 CIB console  :D

He's hooked me up in the past too, glad I can pay it forward
