Why would anyone reprint the US manual but JP back insert for a US game?  I guess he couldn't find a scan for the US back.

well, look at the user name.

Not Turbob but this listing is ridiculous:
www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-5200-System-Console-Complete-in-Box-Tested-Working-MUST-READ-DESCRIPTION-/152470078706

Quote
Writing this description causes me GREAT pain because when I was testing the system (which was brand new), I dropped it, shattering the plastic that holds the controllers as well as the front plate (see pics). The system was PRISTINE, still having the brand new scratch protector film (the pink thingys) in tact on one controller and the console. Despite having broken those two pieces, which can be replaced from parts from another console, the system works great and is otherwise in near-mint condition. I still believe this is one of the nicest 5200's I've ever seen, and to anyone that has a spare system to replaces those busted pieces, it'll be a perfect addition to their collection.

Price tag, a mere $400 as of posting.

Yep, you can find those two broken pieces (though one of either, if not both, is broken on virtually every other 5200 as well) after paying 400$ for the one butterfingers dropped, or you can just buy a decent one for far less in the first place.

Jesus.

Not sure if this was mentioned already, I've seen it up a couple times recently.

Who lists a car without listing the mileage?

I want that! Not bad enough to drop $1,500. But maybe if it was around $100, and it worked. That Nissan Pulsar GTi-R Rally Car body is awesome!

That dude's feedback (both received and left for others) is shit!  He has left 7 negatives of 21 feedback left for others.. . I wouldn't buy from him and I wouldn't sell to him either...

pathetic.

And another example of an idiot seller charging for shipping when the price of the game is ridiculously exaggerated.


I don't know what world you are you living in these days son, but 100 bucks for turbo games are normal prices. Stop complaining like a little girl.

*looks at post count*

*wonders when he got into turbo*


post count is determining factor how long someone has been playing NEC consoles?
