I haven't been able to find one of these in my hometown, or at a reseller near me. This leaves eBay, but I know how inflated the pricing can get. So I need some help. I never had one of these in the '90's, so I have no idea what they were worth then or what they are worth now. What's the typical price on a TurboStick? New/Used? Thanks.
BTW, I'm seeing auctions ending with $30 sale prices, but shipping is stupid at $30 too. Is $60 unreasonable on a (new) TurboStick?
[EDIT] Here's a example of a BIN for $36 CAD, with $26 CAD shipping.

A used Turbostick is worth $10-15, a new one $15-35. $60 for a shipped Turbostick just isn't worth it.
If you found a new Turbostick, I'm guessing it's coming from England. $30 for shipping is reasonable given the exchange rate, but it's not reasonable for a thirty-dollar Turbostick. There's a lot of cheap stuff available from UK sellers, but most of it's just not worth the shipping fee.
So it's a reasonable price it's just the shipping that kills it. Damn... I don't care whether it's new or used, I just want it to be working with all the parts. I'll keep watching the UK auctions. Maybe one of them will slip by and I'll snipe it for $1 with $30 shipping. That would be worth my while.
BTW, if anyone is selling one I'm looking. Shipping seems to be a bastard with these things though. :cry:
I got 2 brand new ones for $30 with free shipping through amazon, although its either hit or miss most of the time with that store this time it was definitely a hit.

I can't use Amazon. 99% of the time the video games section of their site won't ship to my location.

They shipped to my PO Box in the middle of nowhere without issues, what I did was post my street address and my PO Box and they got here just fine.
They will ship to Canada, but only for certain items. It's really hit or miss. For video games and accessories it's mainly miss.
Managed to snag a new one off eBay from the UK for $46 shipped.
