[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WANTED: PC Engine/ Turbo Duo system]

I would also be willing to do some trades+cash for anyone interested in any of the above systems - - provided your Duo is in good, working condition!

Those interested please throw me a PM! Thanks!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WANTED: PC Engine/ Turbo Duo system]

I know US Duos are a bit more expensive, I would actually prefer a Japanese system - lower price and more software.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WANTED: PC Engine/ Turbo Duo system]

Thanks for the note. Still looking for a nice PC Engine/Turbo Duo system!

Any offers please throw me a PM.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WANTED: PC Engine/ Turbo Duo system]

How easy is it to get an AC adapter and AV cables for the Duo?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WANTED: PC Engine/ Turbo Duo system]

Thanks for the advice - but ebay is pretty absurd when it comes to prices for NEC hardware.
I'd trust another Turbo fan over some unscrupulous seller on ebay any day!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WANTED: PC Engine/ Turbo Duo system]

The Turbo bug has bit me again!

I had a system last year, got tired of it - and sold it off. Big mistake, I regret it.

I'm looking for a either a PC Engine Duo or a Turbo Duo - either one is fine as I'm planning on doing some mods to it.

I'm not looking for anything in perfect condition, but nice condition would be acceptable. A game or two would be great, as well.

I have some things up for trade:
- modded Sega Saturn (Jap) White Model, 2 controllers, games, RAM cart and ST-Key (rare) for imports.
- iQue Nintendo DS, Navy Blue, excellent condition (I'm anal about this) with R4 flash cart and Hori screen protectors - boxed, including manuals and demo disc from iQue.
- Nintendo Gamecube, modded, US version, Platinum. Good condition on this machine, a few nicks here and there but in fully working condition.

If anyone has one up for grabs please throw me a PM. I'm looking of course for at least one controller - - but more specifically I'd LOVE a Duo-R as they're just that sexy.

I will provide pics for any of the above items at the request of a trader. I have good references across the board and can supply references upon request. I don't trade much on here, but I've been a member for awhile. I'll expect any pics of trades, etc. in the transaction. This way, everyone is happy!

Thanks!
Tim

No offense taken, Kitsunexus.
I just say it like it is. China isn't a paradise, but nowhere is perfect.
Anyone who even is aware of outside information knows how to get it anyway.

It's true, on the internet anyone can be anybody they like.
However, I'd like to believe that the PC Engine community is basically composed of good people with a shared fondness for classic games.

[Off-Topic / Re: WE ARE BLOCKED IN CHINA. 0_0]

Kitsunexus: As far as you believing or not believing me, that's entirely your prerogative. Not really sure what it would prove by lying though...unfortunately for you I'm not out to post my IP for the world. In the time being my ISP is the Chinanet Yunnan Province Network. Or did I just pull that out of a hat?

So far as censoring goes, I know the extent to what things are censored. I know about google, I know about yahoo.
The thing is, I don't care, because I also know what proxy server is. There. Circumvented. Me = 1, CCP = 0.
Not to mention other countries actively censor the internet. Vietnam, South Korea, Laos, Iran, and many other Arabic countries. Saudi Arabia and the UAE do this as much if not more than here.

Nat:
So far as the 6.4 incident, of course here it's a big thing. The anniversary is coming up soon...
As for FLG and that movement, they actively sought to undermine the power of the CCP. I'm not saying it's right or wrong (personally I believe it's right) but I'll say anyone
brave enough to publicly demonstrate against them should know the possible consequences. Not to mention simply typing those words doesn't do a thing. There's plenty of websites that talk about them, of course in favor of the CCP, so no matter. It is what it is.

[Off-Topic / Re: WE ARE BLOCKED IN CHINA. 0_0]

*ahem* I live in China. As in, right now. As in, on this website posting on the BBS.
China has a great amount of history and culture, despite anything the current government is doing, which in all honesty is one of the most short-lived governments in Chinese history.

That website, by the way, is absolute nonsense. Looks like someone is out again to make China look bad.
Every country has their own shame, and are not always proud of what they do. None of the websites are blocked here.

The Chinese internet is huge - with about 400 million online users, what do you think? There are Chinese websites for everything, just like in the west.
The only major website I can think of that is blocked is wikipedia, mainly because a bunch of people were posting articles about the communist party. So they banned it.

For the record, I have no problem going to any of the sites I frequent.

No no, I wasn't asking for your copy.

However, anyone interested in working out a trade (I have a couple of good games for various systems) or wants to sell, name your price! 
I'd be happy to work something out.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire]

About $40? Thanks!
I've been searching around but no luck so far...anyone on the forums that was lucky enough to buy a legit one looking
to sell their bootleg?

I can pay paypal instantly for anyone interested in selling their Sapphire bootleg!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire]

Hi guys,
 I'm looking for the above game, specifically the bootleg copy as I'm currently not rich enough to afford a legit one.
 Does anyone have one they'd like to get off their hands or know of a place where they are  currently selling them?
 What is the basic price for a bootleg disc like this? Thanks everyone!

Tim

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WANTED: PC-FX]

I took a look at that actually, it looks good!

Also, no problem gundarN, I'm really a nice person. If it helped you as well as me that makes it even better!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WANTED: PC-FX]

Again to anyone selling a PC-FX I'm down for it!

Simply reply to this thread and I'd be happy to work a deal with someone.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WANTED: PC-FX]

Well, if anyone is looking to sell their PC-FX I'd be glad to snatch it up!
Just let me know your price and location plus condition of the system, etc. Thanks! 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WANTED: PC-FX]

you know of some places to look for that I don't? 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WANTED: PC-FX]

that sounds like a great price you received from your friend!
I've been searching around ebay and boxed systems are around the right price, but the shipping is just ludicrous - it's really hard to justify it when some people
gouge prices for shipping.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WANTED: PC-FX]

Hi guys,
 I'm looking for a PC-FX console, preferably boxed.
 I'm a gamer at heart, so I'm not totally anal on things like mint condition, etc. etc.
 I was wondering, what is the average price for a system now? Also, do many games even use the mouse attachment?

 Thirdly, why the hell do Japanese vendors on ebay gouge the hell out of everyone with shipping? They wanted more than $50 to send me a PC-FX
 console from Japan to China!  We are neighbors!

 Lastly, I've read quite a few people here are using cd-r burns of the more expensive and hard-to-find games. Some people even mentioned pressed silvers, although I've never seen any here
 and I'm pretty sure that most of them would come from China.

Thanks!
Tim
