I paid $130 + $65 shipping for my Duo-R, from hit-japan (last summer). I know it doesn't cost $65 to ship from Japan, but it was the cheapest total cost I could find at the time.

I see RisingStuff sells it for $189. I can't find the boxed one you mentioned, only these two for $199 boxed and $189 loose:

https://www.risingstuff.com/store/pcengine-duor-boxed-p-2097.html?osCsid=79hejfjvm7mdjqvk38bj2p6gn3


I will say that RisingStuff's shipping costs will be MUCH more reasonable, so it may almost balance out. Hard to beat $199 boxed.

65$ to ship a duo EMS from Japan sounds about right in the US.

Go to Japan post website and get estimates.  It costs 170,000 Yen to ship a 10.3kg package.

The boxed duo-r must be sold.  I grabbed a boxed duo-r off yahoo.jp from a friend for 65$ w/ games.

granted, its uh, still waiting to be shipped since i need to come up with the 170$ for the shipping >_O

I paid 65 boxed w/ Tennokoe Bank, Final Soldier, Tiger Heli, somethin else, Dragon Slayer LOH, something else, and some adverts....

But I got lucky.



That boxed duo-r was almost what I ended up with though.

Here's the link to the boxed Duo-R

The functionality is the same of course, but that's a plain ol' Duo, not a Duo-R.

I like the color scheme on the Duo better than the Duo-R.

Sounds like the biggest problem is that your running out of patience and everyone here knows how that feels.  Lets be realistic about this.  How cheap can you really get a 3.0 card?  I happen to find one at a store for $59.  I think we all know that your not going to pay less than $100 if your solely searching on eBay. 

Personally I would say that for the price you are going to pay for the super silly card, you might as well upgrade. 
All is well. :)

Yeah, but I always wanted a Turbo Duo or a PC Engine Duo. I know I'll own one or the other at some point in the near future. How much is modding usually anyway?

Duo-R (I think) does them so I would ask him.

If he doesn't do them, someone does! Speak up! >_<

Yeah duo_r does do the region mod.He's in the middle of modding my pce duo-r,the most he charges for the region switch is $45.00  :dance:

I'd highly recomend having a region switch put in mathius.No converter to mess with once it's in you just hit the switch and you're set.
