ITS OVER!First I took all the names and randomized them. Then I took the top 8 and did a second drawing. Think of the first drawing as a semi final... more suspense! I'll post the first list now, so you all can know who the top 8 are... then In about an hour or so I'll post the second drawing. The name at the top of the list of the second drawing is the winner!
So here's the semi finals list:
/DuoRaff1.jpg
COME BACK IN ONE HOUR FOR THE FINAL DRAWING FOR THE BIG WINNER!!Ok folks, I've talked about it, I've hinted at it, I've been wanting to do it, so here it is....
The Ultimate freebie raffle!!!
Some lucky person will get a FREE US Turbo Duo system!
The system has had a full capacitor change and laser replacement. It can be region modded if the winner so chooses.RULES:
Rule #1: The winner of said item will be asked to not sell this item on ebay. While I can't enforce this, we'll just have to trust you. If you decide it must go, please offer it up on the forum for a reasonable forum price.
Rule #2: If you own a working Super CD capable system, I'd ask you to refrain from entry unless you just really really really want a US duo for nostalgic reasons. My goal is that this would go to someone without a good working Super CD capable system.
Optional Rule #3: If you own a broken CD system of some sort and wish to enter, I'd ask that if you win the raffle, you would consider donating your old broken system to me so I can fix it and re-raffle it off to someone else. Not required, but encouraged.
I will close the raffle to new entries Friday December 16th at 11:59PM A winner will be drawn the next day most likely. I will try and make it a youtube video instead of just a pic. The hope is that the winner will be able to receive the Duo right before Christmas. Yes it will be gift wrapped by me! Also, anyone can enter from anywhere in the world.

I'll put my name in for this, its my mums 60th today and i'll be ringing her tonight ( shes in aussie, im in NZ ) so will be passing on my bday wishes and love.. Thsi is an awesome prize :)
Can i ask a question about the F ebay club, i would love to know just how many who join that club still use ebay under another name, or still use ebay to buy, im open and honest in that i buy from ebay, and i even sell stuff on ebay ( not TG stuff of recent ).. i wonder if all people in that club really dont use ebay ;)
Also with the donations, i know on some forums that only certain things can be done by paid members, and there are even sections of the site you need membership to access, might even be to a section of the site that offers these types of exceptional items.. id be happy to donate..
I'm still looking for one so I'm in.
Proud member of the F@ck ebay club :)
Just...WAY...to...damn...cool =D> =D> =D> =D>

Its not about not using ebay at all, its just about not gouging when selling and not overpaying when buying as it pertains to the Turbo / PCE stuff we all love. We dont want to be a part of the rapid inflation of turbo goods that seems to stem from sales on ebay. I myself still use ebay, even for turbo stuff when its at a fair price, so its not about quitting ebay altogether. Its more about using ebay responsibly and reasonably.
Here's a link to the F' Ebay thread...

I think I can speak for everyone and say you are da man beemer! Hope this duo and dracula x go to a great home!! =D>
Yet another reason I am happy that I was able to find such a great gaming community! :D

Many of us still use Ebay...not using Ebay isn't really the point of the club. Not overspending when buying , gouging, selling here rather than ebay, etc. is.
Add me

OOOOHHHHH SNAAAAAP!
I'm so in, provided that's okay.
I have yet to win a raffle, so here's hoping!
but if it's not me, I hope it can go to someone who deserves/will use it.
....after regaining concessness I believe that I must enter this raffle!
DUDE ADD ME, My Duo has sound issues and it would be nice to play a working Duo without hearing the sound go in and out. Also would be a bonus if I won to pay the extra to get it Modded.
Just called my mom love her :-) If I win this I will be happy to give mine away as it does need fixed but I'm too cheap lol.
Thanks you the man. I LOVE YOU ALL LONG LIVE THE DUO.

There are a few of us who can fix that duo :P
Can I be on the list for the drac X if the winner already has it? I already have a duo. I can't believe I've never played it.....
Please include me in the raffle... :)

We'll see what happens. If the winner already has it or isnt an f'ebay member I'll do a separate raffle for it at that time.
Please count me in Beemer.
Wow... now that's what I call a raffle! Good luck to everyone who enters! I have 2 working Duos... so I don't want to take it away from anyone who does not own one nor do I want to break the rules of the raffle...
Good luck everyone!
Awesome, BlueBMW. Super, crazy-generous of you! I'd love to own a CD system that actually works! :lol:
Please count me in!
Just cheered my best friend up. She's been down and out the past few days. She feels she's going through a quarter-life crisis & I helped her out with not getting so caught up with the label & reminded her of what makes her truly shine..
"...don't look at it that way, bud. :) To tell you the truth, that may be a label most people cling on to and give much more meaning to than it actually holds; you've had crises before (lots of 'em! Breakups, losses, shattered dreams, tensions in the family) and you got through them, bested them & came away more beautiful. And never once did we attach any "___-life crisis" label to them. Why? Because problems arise everywhere & every day. :) ...Life spots will always be a factor, but the life you lead is still led by the choices you make, when & how you make them. Life spots are never a hindrance, an invitation, nor an excuse. They're simply contexts. Most people I admire, gravitate towards & am inspired by are the people I recognize by their day-to-day life paths, rather than by their ages. And you, are definitely one of them."
I think I hit home with this one, 'coz she's smiling now. :)

Ahh sparky if only you knew how little i spend.. nuff said, i dont want to spoil blues awesome thread
Since I already have multiple PCE CD systems and Drac X I can't honestly enter this (what would I do with this awesome stuff?) but obviously I'm really impressed. Awesome giveaway.
Nothing says "Eat dick, Digital Press" like $300 worth of free shit!
Wow, Blue! What an unbelievable raffle! Please sign me up. I'm a proud F Ebay member and told my Mom I loved her today. :P
I'll take a stab at this. I've never won anything I didn't have to work for (hoob88's 6 button pad) so I have a 99.999% chance of not winning this anyway. :P If in the .001% chance I do get it, please send Drac X to another F-eBay member. You guys are awesome and Beamer, you da man! :dance:
this is so awesome. I currently own a pc duo-r that is modded some i really dont have a need for this, although it would be awesome for collecting reasons. I don't feel it to be fair for me to enter based on that. However i do need a copy of drac X, so if theres anything you can do to work that out please let me know. Again. This is really awesome of you, and hope it goes to someone who will really plasy and enjoy it, like i do my pc duo-r that i got a month ago
Wow, this is such an awesome raffle. You are incredibly generous BlueBMW. Please count me in as I would love to have a chance to play the Y's Books I&II disc I got from Secret Santa last year. :)
Bimmer, this is really great of you. Please enter me in.
Another fine giveaway! +20 TurbobKarmas for Bimmer!
I won't be entering (I've two Duos already and love is for suckers), but best of luck to y'all.
I don't own a US duo. May I enter please?
Count me in!
Wait if I have a duo-r, does this mean I am ineligeiaebelrbelre

Wow! It's times like this that I feel proud to be a member here! I cannot enter, as I already own a Duo-RX, but I fully support this raffle; especially because I've never seen such kindness on the internet before in my life! Good luck, everyone!
Freaking cool raffle; good for you! (Cannot enter, but wanted to show my appreciation nonetheless.)

That would be awesome if I could get someone to fix my sound on my duo. That way I wouldn't take away from someone that needs 1. Just iffy about sending off my system tho.

yes, i have a non working duo.. are you happy now... Its got a lovely box, and a nice controller, but it doesnt work properly. If you have more questions send me a PM.
Blue.. please remove me, i'd hate to think how many questions sparky would ask me if i won , plus shipping would cost me more than i can afford right now.. great raffle though..
How can so many of you have broken duos?? You know there are peeps here who can fix them and at a good price too!
Quote from: SMF on 10/27/2011, 03:35 PMJust iffy about sending off my system tho.
I sent my Express to Blue awhile back for a cap replacement and it was returned to me in better shape than it's ever been in. I know there are a few others here on the forums that do repairs and I've heard nothing but praise for all of them. I intend on sending out my TG16 console for a region mod once I've got a little more breathing room spending-wise (probably after the holidays - I have a diving board converter and a few chopsados so it's not a necessity, but sure would be convenient).

International shipping two ways tends to make it not so cheap :(
Where are you located?
Quote from: mrhaboobi on 10/27/2011, 05:27 PMInternational shipping two ways tends to make it not so cheap :(
But is it more expensive than a new Duo or the cost to your sanity while you're deprived of OBEY?!?
Quote from: BlueBMW on 10/27/2011, 05:31 PMWhere are you located?
New Zealand, it would end up costing over 100 USA for postage , I've looked into it previously , I'm fairly handy with a soldering iron so may one day fix it myself, for now to get my fix I'll use an emu :)
Mine is just a sound issue, I've gotten use to it you can say. I would be more then willing to send it to someone that I can trust on here. Cd works and card slot works its just one of those things that I'm meaning to do.

Ummm... ya I had a problem with you long time back on digitpress... I was new at the time, and I got treated that way by ya but no big deal.
I just asked if you had a duo man, as it was hard to believe i guy like you who is only after mint stuff would need one <<shrugs>>
But Wow, you even hit the ignore button on me for asking that?.. whatever man....

I edited my post because I didn't want to pollute this thread, as for your dp issue, not sure what you mean, I remember buying labels from you there with no issue and offering help on which games had boxes and which had French inserts etc, so forgive if I don't know what you are referring to, if u have a post then by all means send it to me so I can see what you mean and if I was out of line then I apologies, I don't wish to have any personal issues with any of the forum members, I was keen on buy your recent inserts but haven't asked as I figured you had an issue and might say no. And i think you need to revise you comment on the ignore button, i didnt hit it!.
sorry for all this beamer.. i will PM you mr.haboobi, if you were here more often you would see i replyed in my insert thread to PM me.
So lets grab our purses and head indoors :P
Please add me Beamer!! I'm in high school and don't have a whole lot of money, so I never though I'd get a get a Duo. I'm so happy I've gotta chance to win one now! BTW I tell my Mom I love her everyday, today was no exception :) .
ill join
A duo WITH Dracula X? :shock:
Wow.
yeah, wow.
seriously though, the winner will instantly have 2 of the best items in gaming history.
and subsequently, access to many more of the best
I showed my girlfriend I loved her tonight with my penis.
I won't enter, because I have a Duo already, but I just wanted to say very nice raffle! If there's one guy that does ridiculous stuff far too often, it's you.
...and it gave me a chance to talk about loving my girlfriend with my penis.
....soooo didn't want to get an image of a from-the-waist-down naked superman in my head.

Well, if I can be included, that would be great. Been here a while, mostly trolling since I have been focusing on buying. If not, this is still an awesome thing to do and I hope everyone really appreciates it.

I would love to be part of this but NAHHHHH!!! i rather someone who wanted to start collection to win this!!!! I think this should be egligible for someone who doesnt have DUO! =)
Good luck fellows!!
Haha darn guess I should have joined the forum back when I first discovered it and not just lurked. I wouldn't want people to think I only joined to enter this or anything. I actually joined partially because I'm hoping to buy a Duo-R and of course obviously because I love my TG16. :)
Lurking, Trolling, Buzzarding, etc.. No mater what, hiding in the shadows. ;-)

I see you've been on some other sites for a while... and according to your Gametz page, you're local! :shock: How come i've been on GTZ 10 years, youve been there 8, yet we've never traded... [-X
I'll let ya in on the freebie :P
See peeps, I'm not super anal about the entry requirements. My only goal is to prevent someone joining the site JUST for a shot at a freebie. I want it to go to someone that will use it, not scalp it, appreciate it, and maybe contribute to the forum :P

Yeah it was hard to decide the rules... no one who has any sort of CD system? or just no one with a US Duo already? I know there are a lot of people who have CD systems but would love to have a US duo for either nostalgia or collectibility factors. Though I'd hope the system gets USED not shoved onto a shelf to look purty.
I'm in! I don't have a US Duo, I sold mine in 2004...
But I do have Dracula X, so if I do win it as an f-eBay member, DracX will have to go to someone else.
:D
This is pretty awesome! =D>
An early congrats to whoever wins this!
*EDIT*
I was going to enter, but I already have a US Duo, so that wouldn't really be fair. It wouldn't have been for me though... I know a guy who is just getting into collecting the awesome that is the PCEngine/TurboGrafx.
Is said person on here yet?
I really only want Drac X since I already have a modded Duo-R, but I'll enter my name into the raffle anyway. If I win, the Duo can go to someone else.
(Or someone could just sell me Drac X at a sub-eBay price...)

Do I even have 50 posts?
If not, guess you'll be getting a PM from me Beems. :D
Sweet, I have enough posts! So, am I automatically just entered? If I win, can I Paypal you some money to region mod it? :)
Region mod is free to whoever wins. I just know that not everyone wants to region mod these systems. Which is why I gave the option.
Who?! Who won't wear the region mod?!
Hey BlueBMW how much to get my Duo's sound fixed and modded? Also Take my name out of the raffle I decided to finally get the system repaired lol.

Had a Turbo Duo. Had to sell it a couple years back when my Son got sick with Cancer, so I'm in as I would love to have one again. Howsit all?
pm'ed!
After really looking hard at the pictures, that really is a slick looking Turbo Duo. Good Luck to everyone that enters.
Count me in, got my duo back today and it started to smoke! Now I don't have any working U.S duos ><
Count me in if you would, still have'nt found a SCDR2 yet.
Super generous as always Beamer! I thought last years Coregrafx giveaway was the 'Ultimate freebie' but you managed to top that. :shock: 8)
I'd love to join in if I could please. I've been looking for a US Duo for sometime now but as we all know, prices have skyrocketed. I have a PCE duo but never owned a U.S. Turbo Duo before. I'm still kicking myself for not buying a new Turbo Duo when they were on clearance in the stores for $99. ](*,)
I just told my wife and son that I love them.
Please count me in!
I called my mother, her birthday is soon and told her that I love her. :)
I've been clicking the ads too - anything that helps.
I wouldn't mind making a small cash donation if paypal was set up. I tried buying something from the surplus store stock but was never responded to :(
would it be possible for you to add me to this list blue. My brother has become interested in the tg16/pce library of games, and this could be a awesome xmas gift.
I told my brother i love him last night.

Hi,
I posted in the thread on the other forum before I knew that these were back up. You can take me off the list. I was only in it for Drac X (I already have a Duo.) If you have a copy that you can sell me, I'd love to buy it. Even disc-only.
Thanks!
Chris
Hey blue if you could take me off the list as well. Don't think my brother would use the system so much. I would rather haveit go to someone who wants to play it a lot.
I'd love to be entered in this if possible. I really want to expand my library so I can play more than just U.S. hucard releases
I too would like to join said raffle.
well i would like to be in only got an tg\16 that went bad and my pc engine that i could not mod. was useing the two chip and over bent one of the pins. now i have just my hucards
please add me, been trying to find one since I was forced to sell my TurboGraf-16. [-o<
Please add me to the list
I would like to take a gander at this freebie.. please count me in this raffle..
Hey Retrocool! I recognize you from Chris Bucci's Turboviews page on FB, glad to see you finally made it here.
I need to update the entry list #-o
Been busy with the raffle to buy :D
Hey Beamer! I think you can take me off the list... I should be getting a duo soon, as long as there are no issues with the mail. Who knows with the luck I have had with these systems. I'll update this when i get it.
EDIT/UPDATE: Yep all is good, you can take me off the list :)
I would love to join in also. In the event I was to win I would raffle off my TG16 with cdrom and all the hookups/extra controllers and extension cords etc. etc.
I don't have any unit capable of playing CD-Rom titles. They're just out of my price range.
All I can do is stare at the CD-Rom games in my collection and hope one day I can get a unit capable of playing them, I won't settle for Virtual Console releases either... I'd like to experience the real thing.
Holding contests like this is very much appreciated. I know I sound like I'm trying to suck up, but I really do think this is a really kind thing to do. I'm new here and already love what I see :P
Please include me in the raffle.
I've never owned a Turbo Duo... always wanted one as a little kid... it would be sweet to finally play games on the original system rather than Magic Engine!
Thanks!
Could I get in on this too?
I was on vacation at the end of October and my hot water tank decided to commit suicide. Lucky for me the outlaws were close by and saved a lot of my collection. One of the things lost to the flood was my TG-16 & CD-Rom. (I don't think the flood killed it. Pretty sure someone dropped it, cause the case was really broke when I got back.)
Can't wait till the reno work is done in my basment so I can move all the frozen stuff out of the C-can on my front lawn back into the house & see how much I really lost.
Please put my name on this also! I sinned by not playing my PCE CD interface unit for a couple of months and just yesterday found out that it died, making me unable to play my precious Dracula X. I will never ever sell a Turbo Duo because I'll be playing it til I die. :) I'd be more than happy to donate my extra CD/interface/controllers and stuff if it's useful too.
I'd love to get in on this, so I can finally start collecting/playing TG-16/ PCEngine shmups and my copy of Rondo of Blood!
WOW, really blueBMW??? :dance:
Please count me in for this raffle.
Does this come with DraculaX?..or is that another raffle somewhere else?
Originally the Drac X was going to be an extra for the F-ebay crowd, but after the whole forum shutdown / restart things got kind of jumbled up. I'll be doing something with it later on :)
List updated!
Thanks for the add! I am trying to get a basic TG-16 RIGHT NOW buT a Duo would be even better!
Just got Splatterhouse in the mail today and just finished it! Thanks Beamer! time to try hard mode...
also just thought i'd mention Ryglore is on the list twice, don't know if that matters in your final raffle or not.
dude.. i want in on the raffle!
Do put me in this raffle.
Hey Beemer go ahead and take me off the list I just got a Duo-R today. :)
Please add me to the list
I recently bought a turbografx and I only have a few games but find myself playing it a lot
I would love to be able to play ys book on a cd system but alas its really hard getting a cd system in England
If i win I will happily send you my standard turbografx in return to be raffled off
Time is winding down for the drawing. I'm excited. :)
Just seeing all the forum members without a CD-Rom unit or a Duo makes me love mine even more. Even if the sound is all wacky and shorts out. :(
As much as I would love to have a US Duo, I'm gonna refrain from entering this as I have a region modded Duo-R now (Thanks Keith Courage! :D). I wish everyone entering the raffle good luck and Happy Holidays!
its time...............
ITS TIME, ITS TIME DID HE JUST SAY ITS TIME?
I'll be finalizing the list here shortly! :D
I have to work tomorrow so I'm not 100% sure when I'll do the drawing, but it will happen tomorrow for sure :P
yay... awesome blue!
Thx

You are too generous. I cannot thank you enough. Those controllers are a bit pricey. Would a converter for a turbo controller work alright?
I know this is a bit of overkill, but my brother just got a camera for Christmas and wanted to try it out. Here's another quick video of me playing the duo and showing off some of my CD games.
http://youtu.be/wP5lY9daJgA
hahaha... Beamer and his damn tape, she was hard to break into!!... and Soldier Blade with it!!! you are set.
ALSO nice bed head, as a true gamer should have each day :P <<claps hands>>

Dang! Just joined the forum and I'm already too late for something good.

Aha. Thank you.
UPDATE: Oh my lord, lilgrafx is a kid. I am too old. :shock:
Who is that kid? Thats awesome that he is into the Turbo like that!
That's Lilgrafx! He won the freebie duo :D
Awesome deal. :)
Agree with Bernie, Lilgrafx will keep the fire burning.
Yeah I'm a freshman in highschool so I'm pretty young.
Maybe so, but smart enough to enjoy the benefits of a turbo duo!! Glad you won it :)
I think I was a freshman in High School when I really started getting heavy into video game collecting. Really it was about the same time as I got a job hehe.
Lilgrafx, if you're into other stuff, www.gametz.com is a pretty good place to work out trade deals for all kinds of video game stuff.

Yeah I started collecting last summer when my brother started getting big into collecting Super Nintendo. I really liked the older games and wanted to find a system to collect for, then I stumbled upon the amazingness that is the Turbo. Needless to say its hard collecting for a obsure system when your only source of income is mowing lawns :). I can't wait to get a summer job and blow all my money on video game.
I agree with everyone who has said that Lilgrafx is worthy of the prize and will keep the TurboTorch burning bright. I was just shocked that "young folks" are here on the forums :)

I was in the same situation when I was in school, too. :)
That's why I spent so much time with crappy games (I couldn't afford anything new/better).
Sadly, my life has come full-circle and I can no longer afford to spend much $$$ on video games (3 children + everything else). It's hilariously pathetic when you think about it!
I'm still in that happy middle spot.... good job, good income, no wife, no kids === lots of disposable income for games.

Glad to see someone get the duo that will love it dearly as we all love ours.
I must say tho, Rite now im in a perfect spot in life. Kids, A wife that dont mind i collect stuff. Well aslong as the bills are paid and i dont spend $1000s of dollars on video games that is.

Hahaha, wow, Got to love Blue. What a guy!
And congratz Lilgrafx :) Have to say, I wouldn't have entered as I own a SCD, but that duo looks so damn sexy I'm gonna have to get one one of these days :)

You can most definitely live without them! I miss my single life. I'm getting married in five months and she moved in with me six months ago. I know I'm getting a great woman and all, but I miss being able to do what I want whenever I want. On top of it all, she is the clingy type and doesn't get video games at all. I'm stuck with her planning our (my) weekend all the time.

That's not all woman, I've been with my wife 11 years and she never heardof the TG 16 till she met me she does not mind I buy games or other PCEngine systems. Hell we just bought a new house a few months ago and the basement is mine to do as I wish to it...... Trying to decide how I want my gameroom lol.

Sounds to me like you aren't in a relationship with someone you should get married to. My wife (of 10+ years) has hobbies that I support and encourage, and she supports and encourages mine. Hope I don't sound like a dick, but why would you
marry someone that doesn't get you?
