Due to the changing times, it has come to a point where I must finally start selling off my US Turbo game collection.  My collection of US Turbo games was completed early last year and the decision to sell it off has been on my mind for many years now but never felt right.  Now as I analyze where I am in my life with my family, I'm feeling the need to let go of some of my past to make way for the future.

For those of you wondering - I am not leaving the Turbo scene.  The site & forum will still be here so nothing should change in this respect.

The current plan is to offer the first batch of games on eBay a few at a time, starting at $0.01, no reserve and no BIN.  I will also be offering a select amount of games to forum members as well, however the method on how I will do this is yet to be determined.

Please feel free to post any questions and comments here and I will answer them.  Auctions w/photos will be linked below when available.

Sorry to hear that, man.

Always a sad day when you sell off something that took years to create.  :cry:

I really hate the hear that you have to sell off your collection but at the same time I would love to be able to make a good home on my collection shelf for some of your items! The economy should be looking up soon tho maybe you will get lucky early in on the auctioning and be able to keep stuff!

Whats your ebay username?

Sorry to hear about you selling your collection, Aaron.

Still, one man's loss is another man's gain! :twisted:

Just kidding. Good luck with the auctions, I'll be sure to place a few bids.

P.S. Be sure to ban Game_Squad, Pompey Parsons, etc. from these auctions! I don't want any of your games getting in the hands of those obnoxious, price-gouging resellers! These games should be sold to those who will appreciate them. (Like me!)

This is very true! There are alot of resellers that are going to go for these items....I wonder pcengine if you should hold the auction on the forums. Like you could post a set of games and then start the bidding....Give it say 24 or 36 hours....Start the bidding at like .99 and then people come in and post there bids. See how the competition is on the forums...I will deff post a bid or two. Whoever posted the last bid at the end of the time gets it! YAY! =D>

Neways just an idea ofcourse im sure you would have to incorporate rules into it....I think it would be a sweet idea tho! Id be interested to see all the people that bid!

Joe Redifer

Sounds like you've made up your mind.  I'll be happy to give more than a few of your games a good home where they will be played and enjoyed if I can win them.

RoyVegas

Hopefully you're getting rid of them because you are just moving on and not because you HAVE to. 

I personally won't be bidding on any but I do wish you the best of luck with your sale!
All is well. :)

Thanks guys for the suggestions.  I will probably do some sort of auction-style setup when I start offering games for members only.

I can't say that it wouldn't be thrilling to own a little bit of PCEngineFX history to love, and enjoy. I just wish it was guilt free. It really makes me sad.



If i am lucky enough to win anything I promise to give them a good home, and an honored place on my shelf.

It's always sad to see someone selling off their collection, but hopefully I'll nab a few of your goodies and give 'em a good home.

Hey man! What's up?

What's the final word on the auctions? Will they be forum-only, straight to Ebay, or mix of both?

PCEngineFX

The first auctions here on this thread will be eBay only at first.  After this, I will offer the forum games directly.

There goes my chance of getting a boxed Magical Chase.

Oh well, it'll be entertaining to watch the ridiculous bids on this gold brick. Hey, let's have a little side pool to see how high it goes. Place your bets!  =D>

BTW, fantastic pictures.

PCEngineFX

Yah sorry Press_Run - these first games are being sold on eBay.  Photos are ok IMO (I could have done better but meh).

And yes Tengaimakyou, that is a sealed Magical Chase.  In fact, all 3 games never reached store shelves (I managed to get them before being displayed at a retail outlet) so they are all in as perfect shape as they can be considering their age.

Never seen a Magical Chase in such outstanding shape. You should make a lot of $$$$ on that. Hopefully a re-seller won't get it.

Is this first wave the only ones that will be eBay-only? If not, will any non-"rare"/valuable games be offered strictly within the forums?

Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

PCEngineFX

There will most likely be a few more waves of eBay games, but I also want to start selling some forum-only games as well.  I'll probably hold some sort of forum auction where people can post their price for a particular game in the post.

I could be wrong but I think he was asking was more to the rarity of the games.  Will any of the harder to get games be offered here or only run of the mill stuff.  Like I said I could be wrong however thats the impression that I got.

Yeah, basically I was wondering if games like Magical Chase, Dynastic Hero, Super Air Zonk, Dungeon Explorer II, Beyond Shadowgate, etc would all be on eBay, or if some of these games with inflated eBay prices would be offered here instead?

I want to block this bidder from bidding on anything of mine in the future. Entered wrong amount my ass. I either say shill bidding (which I would really hope is not the case), someone being nosy, or screwing around. All of us have the right to know who that is with their monkey business. As far as I'm concerned if they wanna bid $1499.00 more than once, they need to be required to bid that amount permanently.

Way to be voraciously demanding and piggish.  Aaron owes you nothing.

Nobody owes anyone anything- but aside from the technical semantics Quoth's got a good point.  It would be the proper thing to do- to quell suspicions of bid-shilling- it's not like anyone went out of their way in search of this auction- it was advertised here and placed here for all of us to see.  The least he can do is assure us that it's honest.  If you disagree with that Necro- congratulations.  1) You're not likely to sway everyone's opinion and 2) Aaron's a big boy- he can answer for himself.

I didn't say that Quoth didn't have a point, but rather opined that there's a big difference between asking for something and demanding it.

Furthermore, placing and retracting three fake bids (or whatever you want to call 'em) over the course of 103 seconds was an utter failure at shill bidding, as it had zero chance of creating a bid war, was likely unseen by any other bidders, and ultimately did absolutely nothing to the auction value.  Using my super secret ways of revealing bidder's IDs, my guess is that the goonball bidder is billygoins, who has bought quite a few Turbo goodies lately including a bunch of over priced stuff from pompousparsons and a $450 Dynastic Hero.

touche!  :)

Seriously though- there wouldn't be much reason to bid shill here regardless- seeing the astronomical prices this game has been getting - and this one's sealed... When Aaron announced this one going up on the bay my guesstimate was that it would go for $2,100...

The eBay user that Necromancer mentioned is correct.  Looking at his history he has 34 bid retractions in the past 30 days.  He was trying to find out what the high bid was on the auction.

Ever heard of sleep? That is what I was doing. Never said anyone owed me anything either. I spotted it, and it needed to be brought up, as no one else did. As for your comment about me being demanding and piggish, that was the last thing I was being, so not sure why you were on the defense so much Necromancer, as I think more than myself was wanting to know the answer to what I asked for.

Thank you for confirming the ID Necromancer stated Aaron, I really appreciate it. I have heard of this ID before and indeed that is his behavior. I knew about him before (not sure where though), but it seems that he slipped under my radar. Either way, he's blocked for future purposes.
Best of luck on your auctions.

I could care less what you were doing, as I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of Sini chastising me for responding to a post aimed at someone else.

That's my point - you didn't ask for anything but rather accused Aaron of impropriety and demanded his response.



Back on topic: Aaron, do you have unsealed copies of these games that you'll also be selling?  If so, I'd rather wait for one of those than nab one of these, as I definitely wouldn't be able to honor your wish that they remain unopened.

Well its been a while since i posted here :) after i got burnt by some ex members i tended to stay away, but i saw this auction and couldnt believe you would be selling Magical Chase in that condition.. It must have been a hard decision, can i ask how long its taken to come to? :)

I'd give anything to get the game, my bid unfortunately has long gone..  and all im really after is the box..

Best of luck with the auctions, im about 5 games and the odd loose item away from my complete boxed collection, if at some point you decide to clear loose bits ( boxes, manuals etc ) then i would be keen to see a list of those items.
Looking for (MINT ONLY)
US Manual : Magical Chase, Shockman 
US Box : Turrican,  Soldier Blade, New Adventure Island, Neutopia II
Other : Sapphire OBI, Turbo Play Aug/Sept 90, April/May 92, Turbo Edge Spring 90

Sorry about your past experience here mrhaboobi - glad you came back.

I've been toying around with selling off my main collections (TG & PC-FX) for a long while now.  The main reason I've not taken any action on this is because of my loyalty to the site and community I have built & supported over the years.  Being who I am, everyone expects me to have everything and more - but recently my wife and I have been seriously thinking of having a child and due to now having to pay for 2 mortgages, I've decided to unload some of my collection to help out financially and to make room in our house (my game collection takes up an entire bedroom which the wife would like back).

I do have various loose bits (manuals, game sleeves, boxes, etc) that I'll unload at some point as well (most likely on the forums).  All I can say right now is to keep watch on the forum.

Heh, that "right price" question on Magical Chase amuses me. If your price really is "right", then no one would be able to beat you if you entered it as a bid. Smells like an inept attempt at a scam to me.
