LOOKING FOR A TURBO EXPRESS
« on: February 13, 2008, 09:01:16 AM »
Hello, I'm looking to purchase a Turbo Express.  Preferrly the one with issues so that I can get it for cheap.  Please let me know if any of you guys have one that you would like to sell to me.  Thank. :pray:

$90, it's brand new, but needs to have caps replaced. Pretty damn good deal if you're handy with a soldering iron-- a brand new TE for $90. You aren't ever going to see a deal like that again.

I've got one here with the screen lit up but no picture...  Worked great when I got it- turned it on one day and no picture.

Your video caps are probably all dried up.

hmm well I'm not really sure as to the value- and I'm usually more of a trade kind of dude- the sound is low too but fine on headphones... Have any games to trade for it- and does anyone know what a realistic value of a dried up cap low sound express is?  :|

I just started collecting turbo again so I don't have any to trade.  Right now, I have four cd games, 3 of them is CDR. :cry:

Turbokon- after sleeping on it I decided to keep it and get it fixed instead of parting with it... 
It'd wind up being something I regretted... My apologies for bringing it up.  :oops:
Like Nat says though- that new one for 90$ looks like a good deal.

Bummer :cry:  Oh well, I will see if I can get the $90 one.  I just put my kisado converter on ebay to cover the turbo express.  Now I'm battling whether I should get one just yet.  You see, my wife's brithday is this month and I know she been wanting a coach purse.  Those purses are expensive, the one she wants is close to $300.  I was thinking maybe I can help her fund the purse purchase. :?:  Personally I don't see why you would pay that much for a purse, I would rather pay that much for a mint duo.

If you know what's good for you, you'll get the purse  :D

It's your wife's birthday and Valentine's day this month...

She wants a 300 dollar purse for the same reason that the people on the neo geo forums feel the need to compulsivly post their collection pics, bragging rights and status.

Personally I buy my purses on clearance at Target or Fred Meyers (they have a lot of lovely leather ones) and usually I buy them based on if they can hold all my crap + a PSP and a cell phone.  Not based on if it was made by some special designer. 

I say you better get her the purse though, well as long as she is the kind of person who would get you nice turbo stuff for your birthday.
