If you puchased this stuff elsewhere, these are some common prices you'd be looking at:
Turbo Express $180 (new)
TV Tuner $80 (new)
AC Adapter $20 (new)
Air Zonk $20+/- (card only, $40+ complete US)
You can't find Double Dragon 2 for less than $50 and it often goes for closer to $100.
Ninja Spirit and R-Type are both fantastic games than would cost you at least $15 each.
1943 $20-30

So yeah...I'd say you're looking at a pretty sweet deal.  Even if the TE has the sound problem and everything is in terrible shape, it's still a great deal.

Agreed, this is a very good deal + you save on shipping, which adds up when you have multiple charges from multiple sellers.

Dude are you kidding? That's an outstanding deal! Turbo Expresses alone cost that much and sometimes more!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Ahhh those old low prices...

Today those would have been more than double thanks to crazy sellers and some buyers with too much money driving up the market prices.
