This is one of the reasons why everything Turbografx/PC Engine related had been skyrocketing in price. 
I saw this The IGS Express Turbografx-16 Newsletter on ebay sell for $48.77 on 5/21/2017

http://www.ebay.com/itm/201923788030?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Then its now again listed on Ebay  (Different seller) for $149.99

Just putting this out there for people that don't want to check.

The seller of the current listing IS the winning bidder of the auction. What an ass clown.

The original seller did have some INSANELY rare paper listings, I will admit that.  I had a big bid on the Warrior Worlds and his other Turbo paper lot sold for $177.50.  Paper is one of those things that are sweet to collect but hard to resell unless you have connections to actual buyers.  At a $150 ebay BIN it will never sell.

Yep, he's a twat.  He bought it just to make a buck and will sit on the BIN and wait for a sucker to come along and offer something in between.

Never understood why shipping to Canada is always so bloody ridiculous, just in general when it comes to eBay :(

Stupid price, and that is a lot of work for a bootleg...

Yep, pceworks .....   worth about $5 total to cover the shipping costs. Anything over that is a waste and you can make your own burned discs and paper accessories for far less.

They're offering economy shipping to the U.S. and priority shipping to Canada.

Even sending packages domestically is pricey now. The main difference is that the minimum price is high, but it gets more reasonable the larger the package is.

In this entire thread. Only 55% of the items are over-priced. The rest is just crying and complaining.

He saw my manual ISO and reached out to me when he posted that Hero Tonma. I recently got one though, but thought it was nice of him to reach out.
