This posting is classic - "Yes it is new. I did test it at one point probably about ten years ago." So i guess it's not new...

Not even free shipping with the BIN... geez


HAHA!!  A overpriced NEW Duo thats not exactly new, plus a retarded seller that doesnt even know what region it is....  What moron...

just sent him a msg
"do note that these systems were available in NTSC and PAL.
PAL being a major modification of the system, and somewhat difficult to reverse.
also note most failures of these systems are shelf failures, meaning if it hasnt been tested in ten years test it again."

his reply to my msg 1306

Dear steve_the,

Thanks for the info. It's NTSC for sure and I guess I should fire it up for a few seconds. I'll update the page accordingly. Thanks again! -Jake

96.2 feedback rating? Even it were just $75.00, I wouldn't bite. People with scores that low usually have a lot of complaints against them.

Yes. By ebay gouging standards we're all filthy rich! Since rich people get so many freebies on things just from the status of being rich, these jokers should be contacting *us* to offer this stuff up for free or for an autograph.

Got to love when people throw around the "refurbished" bull.

Well, technically it has been refurbished and improved.  So, that part is ok.  Price is a little on the high side however.

Not exactly gouging (under $20 wow), but I"m surprised that there are new copies of Panic Bomber still floating around.Thought about buying a few and holding a raffle for the hell of it once my tax returns come in...
