Hey guys..
I wonder if someone have an extra Turboplay magazines that will be willing to sell? I'm looking for the following issues;
August/September 1990
October/Nobember 1990
December/January 1991
June/July 1991
They're expensive, at least last time I checked they were. Couldn't believe what they were selling for. Im glad I got mine free

Thanks for your reply. Indeed they're getting scarce and expensive :( almost everything retro had been skyrocketing in price.
:-k Hope that someday like the sinuous wavelength graph it will reach a maximum amplitude then prices will start dropping. Lol just dreaming
I have a extra June issue if your still interested.

That's why I was surprised you were looking for them lol. Unless you're dealing with someone super awesome or find a stack of them wild with a TG16 console, these are sadly ballpark prices of what someone would be selling them for.
Its a shame, I have most of them, but some I'll prob. Never find lol.
Still missing like 1/2 the turbo plays, and two turbo forces.
A guy on Facebook had like 15 of them for sale for $100 awhile back, looking back it was a good deal. But at the same time I was thinking, do I really want to dump money into these? I mean, they are A+ reading material, but you can just print out the scans of them. Soo.. :-k
And of course 2 minutes into contemplating buying these, someone else already pulled the trigger haha
Boy boy I had a conversation with the older gentleman selling these last night and he is really out of touch. I had sent him a pm about his Air Zonk box asking what made it so special to have a starting bid of 250$(I was bored ;) He was nice enough, tellinglling me stories about back in the day(im 37) complete US/Japenese collection. He was like Bonk 3 is a 4,000$ dollar game! He has alot of Nintendo stuff for the kiddies to look forward to.

Let's hope he buys something expensive and plans to use the auction money to pay it off
I guess there is a slim chance he might not get a bid at those prices. 2 weeks ago there we're multiple copies up for 20-30. I really don't know that much about all of them. Mab one of thr catalogs might be considered very rare compared but I just can't see it.
I sold my entire set a year ago because I was afraid to ever look at them due to the price they fetch now days. I was super nervous about accidentally bending or ripping a page. What's the point of owning something if I never want to use it.
Good luck on your hunt

Stop drooling on TurboForce.
Unacceptable.
:)
I could never sell mine, though I think I am missing an issue or two when we let the subscription lapse. I guess I should look into it before the prices become too insane!

Two bids each and started at $69.99, I'm not convinced.

such bullshit. even if they sold, its moronic. paying that for what? 16 pages of 25 year old information? I assume about 5 mins of searching and these are all available online to read. the mags are toilet paper.

Agree :-k I think they keep rising prices because they know that sooner or later someone will buy it at those inflated prices.
