TurboGrafx-16 CES Display

I didn't see this posted anywhere. Sorry if I missed the thread.

Anyway, thought this was cool:

It's the CES booth display from 1991; a 3'x2' kiosk display showing off a bunch of games. Currently, the bid is around $150. Very cool for a collector of such things.

I've been watching it since the day it was posted.  I don't believe it was a CES piece, I think it was the same display you would find in stores that sold Turbo stuff...  I look forward to bidding on this one.

Yeah, I was the first bidder on it.  I remember it being in Babbages - remember the flip cards vividly... now if he only has the demo discs....

[Sparky]

that is really nice... would look good in my games room for sho
i dont know, i am thinking it is a booth display... If i am going into radio shack back then i am going for the real thing not to browse a flip book.

who knows, me likey

I'm not going over $1k for it, but right now it's a steal.

I bought this brand new with orginial shipping BOX for $120 and that seller mailed with no outer box to cover the orginial and USPS wrote some markers on the box.  I got upset but send it back to get refund.  that was about 4 months ago.

NOW THIS GOES too high! ARRGHHH lol..
that s ok thos

Did you take pictures of the box or see who it was originally sent to?  Like henry, I doubt that it was made for the CES show.

From this same seller or someone else?

I had contacted the seller and he claimed he had other stuff but was waiting to see how this auction went.  I predict that we need to move this thread to the "gouging much?" thread....

It's not really gouging.  He put it up for a $99 starting bid.

[henrycsc]

I'm talking his "other stuff" if it goes up will be based on what this sells for.... we shall see
