PCEngine-FX.com

Swapmeet dude had a bunch of ac adapters for sale. Then on the table in the back i see it. A pc engine duo, black as shit no scratches looks brand new. I ask how much he puts up 5 fingers. I assume he means 50 but i wasn't sure. I ask one more time, how much sir? He says 5 dollars! I grabed that mofo so fast it'd knock your cock stiff. No cables or ac *funny you'd assume a dude selling nothing but ac adapters would have the damn ac adapter for the thing*

So 5 bucks today got me a PC Engine duo. Now i just gotta find the inputs controller and all that stuff. Which is actually why im here. Anyone know where i could get this tuff cheap? And does any other AC adapter work for it? I got a TurboGrafx, and basically every other us system out there. Figure something would work but don't wanna fry it. Any help i could get would be great. Thanks guys.

Go here for the adapter.  I use em, and they are great.

Go where? the forum?

Oh shit...  lol.   http://www.retrogamecave.com/  Sorry.  Oh, and VERY nice find on the system.

If something is wrong with it, most likely it can be fixed by someone here.

Hahahahha. thanks. Of course they are sold out of the one i need ha. yeah it was a killer deal it honestly looks brand new other than the av part having a few scratches around it. so excited

Email him, his name is Chuck.  You will find that he is a great guy, and the power supplies are top notch.

for sure bro thanks so much.  Ilove nec i got the turbo grafx and always wanted a pc engine duo for ninja gaiden amongsts others. The japanese one will play us cds but no us hus right?

Correct.  But those same peeps here that can repair the Duo if it has issues, can also region mod it so it will play USA Hucards as well.  )

very nice, congrats!

Sweet deal, dude!

Damn! 5$

Fuck yeah!  usually I'd be jelous or something, but instead I'm actually pleased.

I still kind of hate the guy that got an LT for $5 though.

So, let me get this straight... over there in England you have "Car Boot (Trunk)" sales? Does this mean folks are parked by the curb, trunk open, and selling stuff? Or is it an auction where people bid on the contents of a car boot(trunk)?

Still...damn!

thats how i got my $5 3DO

Oh, a PCE Duo, ok, that makes more sense.  Otherwise I was gonna say this should be moved to either Chit Chat or Fighting Street, since your topic seems to indicate that you found Jesus Christ. :D

A car boot sale is usually in some big parking lot or something, and you just shove all you can into the trunk, drive there, then set it all out on a table. I'm not sure if there's an American equivilant?

Yep, its called a Flea Market.  :)

Ah right.  Oh yeah, I've actually been to one in NYC!  Yeah, that's it.

Well anyway, I've posted this elsewhere, but I've just ordered Parodius (£9) Twinbee (£9), Star Parodier (£12) and Soldier Blade (£18).  Now I'm hoping I've understood correctly that they're boxed...

Not to count my chickens, but I'm hoping I've saved myself over £40 there.

Awesome find!  Even if it needs some help (might wanna do the caps as preventive maintenance, even if it works fine), that's a sweet deal.

or Flohmarkt

or Nomi no Ichi

or Flohmärit

or Marché aux Puces

or Mercato delle Pulci

or Rommelmarkt

or etc :)

That is normal for yard sales. I found a Sega Genesis with SEGA CD for 5 dollars, with hook ups, and controllers. I also got a PSX that is able to spin with disc open, for 5 dollars. The wife made the husband sell it.

Yeah, an LT on a yard sale for $5 is just very normal and everyday occurrences.

Why be sad that some guy got an LT for 5 pounds?! That's amazing!!
Working and in great condition too. Damn, it's like a dream.

Great job on the $5 Duo, as well. Love finding great deals on gaming hardware and software.

Me sad? lol, en contraire :D

I've got my ol' LT also almost for free. Tho, it isn't in a such nice shape (some yellowing).

I'M sad. Or well, jealous.

Big thanks to bernie, that website you showed me restocked. Now i just gotta find a controller an a us cd game on teh cheap to tester out. So stoked. ty again sir
