Post by: ryosnk on 12/15/2006, 11:29 AM
A turboexpress, tv tuner,, ac adaptor, and ten games (air zonk, ninja spirit, r-type, others, and 1943/double dragon 2 for the pc-engine) for $130 shipped.

If you puchased this stuff elsewhere, these are some common prices you'd be looking at:
Turbo Express $180 (new)
TV Tuner $80 (new)
AC Adapter $20 (new)
Air Zonk $20+/- (card only, $40+ complete US)
You can't find Double Dragon 2 for less than $50 and it often goes for closer to $100.
Ninja Spirit and R-Type are both fantastic games than would cost you at least $15 each.
1943 $20-30

So yeah...I'd say you're looking at a pretty sweet deal.  Even if the TE has the sound problem and everything is in terrible shape, it's still a great deal.

Agreed, this is a very good deal + you save on shipping, which adds up when you have multiple charges from multiple sellers.

If you decide you don't want Double Dragon 2, lemme know, I've got paypal.

Dude are you kidding? That's an outstanding deal! Turbo Expresses alone cost that much and sometimes more!

Ahhh those old low prices...

Today those would have been more than double thanks to crazy sellers and some buyers with too much money driving up the market prices.

He's gonna take you back to the past!
To show you the threads that don't suck ass!

He'd rather have
a collectard
get beaten to a bargain at a yard (sale)

He'd rather remark
in a thread
nine years too late and be subject to snark

He's the Oblivious NecroPhile Bumping Nerd!

As an aside, could the TV Tuner even be hooked up to digital converter box???  Not that you would want to do it, but is it feasible?

Good memories of my TE tuner...watched the Chicago White Sox win the World Series in 2005 while at work all because of that thing!

It has a/v in, so you could plug in anything that outputs composite.
