Sure you could.  You could burn your own cds and load roms on a flashcart too, but that doesn't mean it's the same thing.

Not to say that this thing is worth big monies (it sure as shit ain't to me), but they're trying to gouge based on perceived rarity and collectability, not because some casual joe has no other options for storing their TE.

Dude, that's a fair price.  The TurboGrafx16 "NES RF Adapter" Edition was released in very small quantities... plus, there are some nice mint-condition-complete rares included, such as Victory Run and Klax.

I have been noticing a tremendous increase in the number of repros on ebay too. Right or wrong it doesn't seem to matter as long as there is money to be made.

It's definitely against eBay policy (not to mention illegal) and they most certainly won't do anything about it. But it does look like he did a nice job of the discs and cases.

Too bad the system has no good games.   :mrgreen:
