Turbo duo controller, no box, 80.00 buy it now


....... WOW


At prices like that you'd think these were CDi controllers :P


Didn't know CDi controllers were that expensive.


It's hard to find ones that still work. My CDi's controller works, the remote doesn't. I only use it for Tetris and I can't tell you the last time I even hooked it up. Unless you have childhood memories of the CDi there's not much reason to own one imho.

Kinda figured, I think one of the only games I would play on a cdi would be The Seventh Guest, but that may be on other consoles, so whatevs.

On my ebay app I saw a Terraforming sell for $99 BIN a few days ago.  A suspiciously similar looking Terraforming posted for $750 BIN tonight.  Sorry I am mobile and linking is a pain in the ass.

Not exactly gouging, but this still brings my blood to a boil. Is it even legal to pass this off as "Unreleased"?

I saw that too. I just about popped on the $99 BIN myself.

Tom's Rockman for $120 shipped.

It's definitely gouging, seeing as you can buy it from the maker for half (which is still much too high).

What deterred me was the Inquisition I would endure from my wife for spending that much on a single game. I experienced the pleasure once after buying Drac X.

I need to condition her to OBEY  lol

factory sealed huh.  guess this is a ultra rare version without the cardboard box.

Guess you didn't know that some games were sealed inside the box as well.
I'm not sorry about this, as I'm not sorry about ANY attack by the goverrats.

I dont remember the outcome.
Carry on.

Strangely enough, I HAVE gotten a CD game, maybe two...that came in a sealed box from the factory, and ALSO had the jewel case sealed.  So, it very well could be something like that.  I am not sure why this happened back then, but I am sure there was some sort of method behind the madness.

Yep I had a sealed box and the CD game sealed as well for Lords of the Rising Sun.
