Title: Turbo Bonk Bundle With Box Found In The Wild (CL) Find!
Post by: xasap_retro_gamerx on 12/02/2015, 10:32 PM
So I was on my local CL found a guy selling a turbo with the box my area is full of resellers and collectors  I was very surprised it wasn't taken  , I texted him , we talked and he wanted to trade a few things , so I met him close by my house , he use to live a block and half from me I found out but moved , He told his aunt friend gave him the turbo for free a few months ago at a garage sale , and he only wanted $80 for it  (he listed it as 200 but we talked for a hour) and got this beauty .  That came with all the inserts and even the comic in Keith Courage , the Bonk box still had the free sticker so does the box! so I put my copy of bonk in the box :) and completed it ! I haven't seen one like this on ebay yet . I been lucky with my tubo finds! I also got a toploader and a genesis in box along with other fun stuff ! This box even had the REG card! which I know is rare to find .

Not bad congrats on the find I have had very little luck finding any turbo stuff in my area outside of one retail store.

80 bucks is an amazing find! Finding turbo stuff here in vegas is near impossible!

Wow! Great find. Congrats and I will also try to hide a little jealousy.

I will hide no jealousy! I'm filled with jealous rage! I had my original 1991ish box from when I was a kid, and my gf at the time gave me an ultimatum to throw it out. Stupidly I did. I ended up throwing her out not very long after. Should thrown her out first, and I would still have my turbo box. Hahaha. Awesome score man!

Wow, that is a really nice score.

For some reason, retail console boxes from the early 90's have a very special appeal to me. Unfortunately, they are expensive as F on Ebay, so I can't really mess with them, but I'd love to have an original Genesis Altered Beast box, an original TG-16 box and the launch SNES box. I'd really love the first Sega CD box too, talk about freaking sexy...

Tell me the original Sega CD box isn't some sexy marketing:
