Lots of TurboGrafx-16/CD/Duo Games FOR SALE

[nat]

obviousely im going to get a LOW offer. ($25 for bomberman 93.... come on its $45 no matter where you go)

Bullshit. Anywhere on eBay.... maybe. I got a mint complete-in-cardboard box copy in November 2007 for $30 from a non-eBay reseller. $25 if it's just the card and manual is perfectly fair.

the prices i have in mind for some are high, i used to do ebay thats why.

And that, my friend, is precisely the problem. Many folks here avoid eBay for US TG-16 gear for precisely this reason... The mentality there has spread over the past couple years, thanks to douchebag stores like GameSquad and Bullseye (thank god he's gone) putting loose Air Zonk and Samurai Ghost carts up with BINs of $100, that TG-16 stuff is somehow worth 10x more than Genesis and SNES stuff. C'mon, give me a break.

Anyway, I'm just blabbing about prices like I normally do when I see this ridiculous inflation.

As far as your reliability-- if George says you're a good trader, that's good enough for me, and should be for everyone else here. Although I never bought from you (due to the aforementioned eBay inflation factor), I've skimmed your auctions many times in the past and you seem legit enough to me.

I don't think anyone here need worry.

This is all true- having Ebay prices in mind is fine- if you're on Ebay.  This isn't Ebay.  This is a specialist community where we're all a little more informed of the actual prices of these games- for the most part the sales prices on these boards reflect that- and if they don't- you'll see some skepticism. 

As for "pm me your offer"- I don't think it's always a bad thing- I actually did this myself when I was selling manuals on here- but that is because I really wasn't sure what those were worth- they're not games- they're pieces of paper- however- in like 90% of the cases I asked for less than the offer.  I do think it's wrong to have people pm you their offers if you have a set price in mind- it's pretty scheming.  If someone offers you more than you expected to get- you can just say okay- that sounds about right.  I'm not down with that.  Again- and many here can vouch for this- when I did the "pm me your offer" I almost always asked for less than the offer- so I'm not a pot calling the kettle black.

Yea typically a loose Bomber Man 93 does fetch 20-25 so Nats offer was pretty much right on. Even on ebay it gets that price. And yea ebay did inflate the prices to some extent randomly,so you have to be mindful and check as many auctions as possible on titles to see what the true average going rate is there for something. Also how often it actually sells for at that price,but more often then not the average going prices I see on ebay (minus the rip off sellers and rare price surges) are the ones mentioned as average going values in forums, or close to them.  You just have to be mindful of that and always look for the best deals,and compare shop when possible if you want to save cash.

A few items do fluctuate alot,like Super System 3.0 cards US (went back and forth from $90-130,then all the sudden hit a very high point at past 170 bucks) or Japanese wise (used to be 10-15,now 20 to 30 sometimes),or Turbo Cd decks (used to be $90-100 but now on up to near $175) depending on exact condition/completeness, and supply/demand on the market,but game wise the games tend to stay at the same prices and every now and then lower in value for a bit, then go back up to normal depending on the time of the year/economy.

From an e-mail to me, from Mike (i.e. Dreamcaster, not Helgeson):

i am not taking any loss'. im trying to turn a profit or atleast break even.

So there you have it folks, the man is actively attempting to make money off a savvy group of Turbo experts.  Food for thought.

And I am the one who purchased Jackie Chan from Mike, so I will (hopefully) be posting soon about a good experience.

[Michael Helgeson]

Nothing wrong in turning a profit if he paid lower then the current value and is trying to get the current value,but if he expects more then that on titles then he is going to fail,at least around here. No ones going to pay more then the current value just to make him feel better,at least I hope no one does.

I actually wasn't the one that made the offer on Bomberman, I don't know who did, but that was the example he gave, so I had to address it.

My offer was on a different title...

Ahh,ic,well def wasn't me. I have no plans of making any offers to this guy here because I don't want to play Turbo Price is Right.

once again bomberman 93 is NOT a loose hucard. if you read my description... "most of them are complete with cases and manuals with the rare exception of a few. if it is missing anything i will put a note. if nothing then the game is complete (i dont have any boxes). in relation to the games that say "comes/included with a hucard case", these are the games that were issued without cases and simply come with a official hucard case with a generic label with the games title. just wanted to clear up any confusion."
if the game says "comes with a case" that still means the manual, and hucard sleeve are there too. just a blank official hucard case. 98% of the games listed are complete.
EVERY GAME HAS THERE HUCARD SLEEVES.
EVERY GAME HAS ITS ORIGINAL CASE (with exception to the games issued without cases and raiden, sinistron, and night creatures). night creatures is the only hucard/hucard sleeve only that i have listed.
apparently people are confused and i am trying to clear this up. you all are stating prices for hucard only games when mine are complete.
and selling my games here i figured id offer to people that appreciated it as much as i did/do. i loved my turbo grafx. only reason i started selling these off on ebay a bit ago was my deal with my wife was that i could buy magical chase, bikini girls, might and magic 3, etc but once we were ready to get a house i was to sell them to get money together for a down payment. and if you saw the ebay listings i had then you already knew that as it was in every listing.
and i would hope that georges recommendation would put everyone as ease.
i may have some prices in mind but if it gets to the right price im sure to sell it. thats why offers are best. some of these rarely ever went on ebay and when they did i went for them, some i found in used stores.
and whats wrong with making a profit. you expect me to just sell real low cause its your 'thing' come on. i figured id offer the games to the peopel that would appreciate them more, instead of someone that is just going to resell them or put them on ebay themselves. if you have a problem with my prices then fine, dont buy from me. you can just wait along til another ever shows up. i will not take a loss.

[nectarsis]

It's been stated before ..making a profit is ok, as long as you don't expect full Ebay prices.  Here theres no insertion fees, no final value fees, etc.  Many of us know multiple places (outside of Ebay), that have lower prices than Ebay.  Asking going value is ok, but keep in mind, many people on here are VERY well versed in pricing, and know what the unEbayinflated values are.

[Michael Helgeson]

Ok,well just to be clear,later titles released in box,with plastic tray,sleeve and manual are still considered loose if you do not have the original plastic tray and box,regardless of what type of Tv Sports title case you recycle,because its not its original case and thats not how the game was issued,please keep this in mind. That means if all you have to Bomber Man 93 from its packaging and contents is the manual and original sleeve,then its considered loose compared to its original form of packaging/completeness. Generic/recycled cases do not make titles complete.

Also,these days Turbo stuff is very common at collector shops and all over ebay,so rare doesn't apply so much as the words popular demand do. And yea,a few years back,Turbo stuff was less common,but now its pretty much on there all the time,complete titles,loose ones,ect... Theres always a way to get the stuff now,not just in rare twice  a month auctions,flea market finds,ect.

[Dreamcaster]

thats why i am taking offers. my prices are probably going to be higher then what all of you have in mind, but i am a bargainer. going back and forth on a price til an agreement is made isnt hard. a few of the games i have NO price in mind and all i can do is entertain offers. im not difficult. i hate losing a sale but im not going to settle below market.

im not saying the recycled case makes it complete. it just has more of a value (manuals and cases were always $3 each when i got them from tzd). and having a manual doesnt make it loose. all it would be missing is a box and tray. still better then a hucard without a manual. i put no value on the sleeves, every game should have a sleeve reguardless.

[Michael Helgeson]

If it doesn't have the actual box and plastic tray,then its loose,regardless of you having the manual and a added relabeled TV sports case. The Manual doesn't hold the game or make the packaging. This isnt a arguement your going to win. Its silly to call it complete when its far from it if you dont have the original package/box and plastic tray.

Example:
original Hu-card
original Sleeve
original Manual
original Plastic Tray
original Box

If you are missing 2 of the above 5 items then what you have is 60 percent of the product total. 60 percent does not = complete,nor does generic substitutions.

[Dreamcaster]

so you expecting to pay the same price for a game that either has or doesnt have the manual. thats what im hearing. sound like if it doesnt have all five then its worth the same no matter of its other contents? i dont agree if thats the point.

For Bomberman 93 without manual,around $20,with manual ,around $25. Dont try to be a smart ass,go back up and look at price quote. Being a smart ass will make you lose potential customers even faster.

[Dreamcaster]

im not being a smartass. im trying to understand what your saying. and where have you guys seen bomberman 93 for $25. and i dont really care for the tone im getting either. im not desperate to sell these. I AM SIMPLY OFFERING THEM TO THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD RESPECT THEM MORE!!!!!! if you dont like my prices then so be it. bitching about it isnt going to get anyone anywhere.
man a lot of you are rude and expect too much out of something.
where is this "market" where these games are so low priced?
i was a long time collector and i never could find them for below cost.
