Didn't Roy buy one at like $200?

I bought one like it yes.  Didn't pay anywhere near $200 for it.


then sell right away for like $40?

Sold it a few months later when I sold off most of my stuff for $42.50, yes.

It's actually the item that made me think maybe you didn't have bad intentions from the start as a gouger. Although the Hudson Music Collection with insert I didn't really want to sell you and only did because your site and dedication to Turbos that you flipped a month later and made an extra $35 on made me think you did have bad intentions and that the hat was just one you missed on. Who knows, I guess who cares...

What's to say that hat actually has anything to do with the Turbo? Bomberman has been around for years on other consoles... Does that hat have either the NEC, TTi, Turbo or PC Engine logo anywhere on it?

Actually, I bought Roys - and yes, TTi
I remember when they came out, and I believe you could get them in the bomberman color of your choice. (The one on the left is blue, although a very dark blue)

Graded games?  Yeesh...

And this is certainly curious...

Here's the current active listing by this seller..

http://cgi.ebay.com/PC-Engine-LT-Console-System-Grafx-JAPAN-NEC-HU-Card-/250710152682

And here's the one that ended with no bids...

http://cgi.ebay.com/PC-Engine-LT-Console-System-Grafx-JAPAN-NEC-HU-Card-/250710153026

So when your item doesn't sell you jack the price up 50% right?

In the links provided by BlueBMW, the first LT ended up selling for $400 when the second (earlier) auction ended unsold starting at $395.  Pretty cheap for an LT on eBay.

A lot better than the $580 BIN price he had on there!

Agreed.  I wonder how long the first auction was up; did he pull it quick, thinking it was underpriced?

If you think those LT's were cheap take a look at this one : http://cgi.ebay.com/PC-Engine-LT-Console-System-Grafx-JAPAN-JAPANESE-766_W0QQitemZ220672402787QQcategoryZ38583QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4340.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D250710153026%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D4963480639692257625
And thats from a seller witch ursuly have good prices...


The LTs look cool, but I just can't see how they're even playable. How are you supposed to practically use the Dpad?

I just played a couple levels of Super Star Soldier, PC Genjin 2, and Columns.

You can play it, but it is a bit heavy and you have to hold it at an odd angle to clearly see the screen.

....and it's kinda lumpy under your pillow at night.  :)

Just toss the pillow and sleep directly on your LT. :P
