"New" TurboExpress auctioning for $250 and still has a day to go:  http://cgi.ebay.com/Nec-Pc-Engine-Gt-new-Turbo-Express-Hand-Held-NEW-/360369717495?pt=Video_Games&hash=item53e7b580f7

Hint - a system is not new if it has a region mod switch.

And then there's AssMaster selling what looks like Sparky's labels (has this been posted before?):  http://cgi.ebay.com/AIR-ZONK-TURBO-GRAFX-16-CUSTOM-CASE-ONE-KIND-/190540408956?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5d17e87c
STATUS: Try not to barf in your mouth.

He obviously ripped the idea off from Sparky.

Thanks to the internet and my nearly-endless-gullibility, I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not...

I know the US version sells for more than JPN version. I've seen then go for $40 which I always thought was WAY too high. Since you could just buy a JPN version one for $10 and make an adapter for it.

But this one is up to $100 and still has three days left??? wtf? Sometimes you have to blame the bidders and not the sellers that start at LOW prices...  

Also it is untested and comes in a Keith Courage case (loose) LOL!!!   http://cgi.ebay.com/Turbo-Grafx-16-CD-SUPER-SYSTEM-CARD-No-Reserve-/270757278682?pt=Video_Games_Accessories&hash=item3f0a6433da

This auction is funny. There aren't even any games included.  http://cgi.ebay.com/Turbografx-16-Turbografx-CD-PC-Engine-Turbo-Duo-/290571758093?pt=Video_Games&hash=item43a76d2a0d#ht_14556wt_1139


What does he mean that because of the setup it's better and easier to not use AV cables and run it through an RF modulator?  :-k

Yeah, That's my auction.

I woke up this morning and checked eBay. . . I was absolutely shocked. . . I was very close to listing it with a Buy It Now of $40. . . I thought that might be too much to ask since it is loose, and essentially untested.

This is crazy.

super system card-
I noticed you started auction at a couple dollars or less.
....WOW it's now at $127!  :shock:  You can almost buy a duo for that price. I guess the economy has improved.

I got mine for about $60 complete a year or two ago.   :roll:

Wow, $127 is just crazy for a loose system card.  I bought my Duo R for about that price.

I picked up a Duo-R recently. . . the way it looks now. . . this is going to pay for it. . . Insane.
